San Antonio, TX (March 19, 2024) – VP Racing Fuels, Inc., the global leader in performance fuels, lubricants, and additives, announced today that VP Racing took the podium in three major classes in the most challenging races at the recent Mint 400 in Nevada. With VP Lubricants, Fuels, Coolants, and Brake Fluid, drivers and riders crossed the finish line in new record times.
“We’ve got the industry-leading products, and the winning drivers rely on them,” said Mike Emerson, Western Region Manager for VP Racing. “The Mint 400 is a grueling test of endurance over a 400-hundred-mile off-road course that challenges man and machine. Relying on VP, these celebrated drivers and riders, Ronnie Anderson and Cole Keatts, Ricky Brabec with Preston Campbell, and Adam Householder, proved once again why champions choose VP.”
Adam Householder and his #24 Unlimited Truck completed the 2024 BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400 Unlimited Race in the record time of 6:46:59.4, besting the entire field by almost 11 minutes when he crossed the finish line in Primm, Nevada, a champion.
Then, two of off-road’s most competitive riders, Ricky Brabec and Preston Campbell from JCR Honda, won the BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400 Motorcycle Race. They rode their #P3 machine and finished six laps of a 60-mile course in 7:37:16.1, more than 15 minutes ahead of their closest competition as dual champions.
Finally, Ronnie Anderson captured the first major win in his desert racing career in Friday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Race. Anderson and partner-driver Cole Keatts pushed their
#PO952 Polaris RZR across the finish line in 7:35:48.6, taking the championship spot in a tightly-fought competition by just 56 seconds!
Celebrated as “The Great American Off-Road Race™,” The Mint 400 is one of the most prestigious and challenging off-road races of the year, year after year. This annual four-hundred-mile endurance race between the top off-road racers in the world includes over three hundred and fifty race teams in car, truck, motorcycle, and youth off-road vehicles. The racers compete in the unforgiving Nevada desert, yet less than half of them even crossing the finish line.
