Racing Best in the Desert’s Casey Folks Vegas to Reno is enough of a thrill for most athletes, but Maxxis is upping the excitement even further by adding to its already industry-leading contingency program with the Maxxis Tires Final 48!

These contingencies, available just for Vegas to Reno, will be awarded in addition to other generous Maxxis contingencies. And like other Maxxis payouts, these prizes are awarded in cash! The new contingencies will be paid to the athlete who’s fastest in the specified classes for the 48 miles from Race Pit 13 to the finish, and Best in the Desert and RacingTraX will be coordinating logistics for tracking the winner.

Payouts, which are open to all athletes in the listed classes (even those not running Maxxis tires), include $500 for athletes competing in Moto Open Amateur and Open Expert classes; $1000 in UTV N/A Pro, UTV Open and UTV Turbo Pro; and $2,000 for 4400 Ultra 4, 6100 and Trick Truck classes.

“At Maxxis, we want to support desert racing and show our appreciation for the many families who make it great. This one-time contingency is our way of acknowledging all those who put so much into these events. We’d also like to thank RacingTraX and Best in the Desert for their generous assistance with this event,” said Maxxis Specialty Sales Manager Rick Emmert.

Best in the Desert’s Bryan Folks is enthused about the new contingency: “I am super happy to see Maxxis step up and own a section of the Casey Folks Vegas to Reno. It’s going to be exciting to see the race teams throw down in the last and arguably the most brutal section of the racecourse.”

David Clay of RacingTraX weighed in on his organization’s enthusiasm for this event as well. “RacingTraX is excited to put our trackers to work for the timing of this unique and exciting challenge. A last leg race to the finish, what a cool idea!” he said.
