The Mint 400 is the oldest and most prestigious off-road race in America, held each year in the treacherous foothills of Sin City. The multi-day event features a massive vehicle parade down the world famous Las Vegas Strip, a two day festival on historic Fremont Street, and two days of grueling off-road racing on a desolate and punishing 400-mile race course. Off-road and recreational enthusiasts come to watch 500 race teams in 50+ classes from 25 different states and 15 different countries go door-to-door!
Co-host is GTM’er and Veteran Offroader David ‘Drew’ Andrews who you might recall from our “All the Torquems” and “Jesus Take the Wheel” episodes — and joining us is Matt Martelli – Marketing Director for the Mint 400 to tell us about “The Great American Off-Road Race” !
