Las Vegas, NV (November 12, 2021) – Best In The Desert has officially ended its 2021 racing season with the Cal City Desert Challenge, the final round in the Maxxis Triple Crown.
After three grueling laps around a challenging course on November 6-7, the Open Pro MC racers finished in the following order: N1 Hayden Hintz, N51 Zane Roberts, N45 Joseph Wasson, and N3 Jeff Trulove. While Hintz took the lead on Saturday, Roberts won Sunday but not by enough to take the overall, finishing in 3:00:15, a mere tenth of a second behind.
Other motorcycle classes to note included the 0-30m Pro where Bryce Stavron bested Danny Cooper finishing in 3:23:25 with three laps Saturday and again Sunday. In 399 Pro, Taylor Stevens won the class in 3:20:51. J4 Jarrett Curley took the IronMan Pro MC Class over J47 Dustin Vasquez while Kimberly Loppnow beat Ashlee Gage to take the Women MC Class by 10 seconds.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend of racing or more support from the town of Cal City,” commented Best In The Desert CMO Bryan Folks. “We are very fortunate to not only have their support but also the support of Best In The Desert’s lifelong friend and fellow off-road promoter Lou Peralta for helping us make the event possible. With just three short weeks to pull the event together, it couldn’t have turned out better. I especially want to thank all our racers, sponsors, and fans for continuing to support us and for making 2021 one of our best years ever.”
“Well, another year of racing is in the books and I could not be more proud or appreciative of the Best In The Desert team, our racers, sponsors, and fans,” said Best In The Desert Race Operations Director Jeff Phillips. “This was my first full year as Race Director, my dream job, and once again I am amazed at the outpouring of support we continue to receive. I especially want to thank my family for all their help and support over the year. Like many of our race teams, I rely on my friends and family to help get me through the long year and I could not be more blessed to have such an amazing group behind me. Most of all, congratulations to all the racers who competed in every Best In The Desert event and made 2021 our best year ever. Thank you for staying with us and continuing on this amazing adventure Casey started so many years ago.”
The top racers will be recognized and awarded at the Best In The Desert Year-End Series Awards on December 11, 2021, in Las Vegas.
