RIGID Nation Victorious at The Mint 400
Race week for The Mint 400 kicked off on Fremont Street Experience, where the energy was building for the Greatest American Off-Road Race. Fans packed the streets, racers prepped their vehicles, and the excitement carried late into the night. At the RIGID Industries booth, limited-edition merchandise flew off the shelves as fans proudly geared up and represented RIGID throughout the weekend.
By race day, the action moved south to the desert outside Primm, Nevada, where strong winds whipped across the course. While the breeze helped racers stay ahead of the dust, it made for a tougher day for spectators lining the course. When the green flag dropped, RIGID Nation racers charged into the desert and delivered a weekend full of standout performances.
The RTR Vehicles team swept the field with an impressive set of finishes. Bailey Campbell secured 1st place in Rock 600 class behind the wheel of her Ford Bronco, while Loren Healy powered the Bronco Raptor to 2nd place in Stock Production Mid. Vaughn Gittin Jr. added another victory to the weekend with a 1st-in-class finish in 1st in Unlimited in their Ford Bronco Raptor, completing an incredible showing for the RTR team.
In the UTVs, Brock Heger put on a dominant performance behind the wheel of a factory Polaris RZR. Charging through the demanding Mint 400 course, Heger crossed the finish line in under seven hours, earning 1st place and solidifying his position as one of the sport’s most formidable competitors.
From the electric atmosphere on Fremont Street to the dust-filled desert in Primm, the weekend was a true celebration of off-road racing and the community that surrounds it. Congratulations to all the RIGID Nation racers who pushed hard and represented at this year’s Mint 400.
