Team HRC Honda Rally Team rider Joan Barreda dominated the 20th running of the 644-mile Vegas To Reno off-road race, the longest off-road race in America. Barreda held down second place after the first day of racing and 475 miles. Day two, Barreda, on the CRF450 Rally, surged to the front early on and never let up over the 347-mile course, taking the checkered flag more than seven minutes ahead of David Pearson and 15 minutes ahead of third-place finisher Jacob Argubright.
“I’m really happy with the race,” Barreda said. “It has been an experience where we have learned a lot. We had a good time today with a really long special stage but without as much dust on the tracks as there was yesterday. I pushed really hard and am satisfied with the result. It was a really long special. Thanks to everyone who has helped us to gain this victory, for the support from the team and also from the fans who have supported us throughout.”
