The TSCO "Vegas to Reno" – which is the longest off-road race in the United States with announced 534 miles in length, is one of the most popular events on the Best In The Desert schedule. Casey Folks, Director of the Best In The Desert series, said, "In 2009 we ran a special three day race, Vegas to Reno - The Long Way!. For 2010, we’re back to the single day format and we expect it to be another extremely exciting race. The challenge and adventure of competing in such a long "point to point" race with no stopping until you reach the finish line always brings out the top off-road racers. Not only is this going to be a big event but it’s also the 13th running of TSCO "Vegas to Reno."
This race is open to all Best In The Desert classes – cars, trucks, UTVs, quads and motorcycles and we expect over 300 entries from all across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and even Europe." Live tracking is available here on Off-Road One.

He is arguably the best stock car racer in the country and now, he’s going head-to-head against the best racers in the world. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch is scheduled to make his Pro 2WD off-road racing debut in the Traxxas TORC Series Presented by AMSOIL Aug. 24-25 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill.

The 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion will face drivers such as seven-time AMA champion Ricky Johnson; off-road star Rob MacCachren; and motocross legend Jeremy McGrath, who is being inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America that same week. Many drivers have raced in off-road prior to their careers in NASCAR, Brendan Gaughan and Jimmie Johnson to name a few. Busch has previous dirt racing experience, driving a dirt late model in the annual “Prelude to the Dream” race founded by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.

“I’ve always wanted to try out one of the Traxxas TORC Series trucks, so being able to race one at Chicago is going to be a lot of fun,” Busch said. “Racing an off-road truck has been on my list of vehicles I wanted to try out before my racing career was over, so I have to thank Traxxas for giving me a chance to come out and race one of these short course trucks for the first time.”
