Best In The Desert (BITD), the North American off-road race series based in Las Vegas, Nevada, announced the agreement with the Martelli Brothers, the Mint 400 and UTV World Championships has ended, for 2020 and beyond.
This decision was reached amicably between both parties after careful consideration and discussion about the future of both organizations and what would be in the long-term best interest for each, according to BITD.
Since being approached by the Martelli Brothers in 2012, BITD has been instrumental in returning the Mint 400 to the position it once held as one of several top off-road events on the calendar.
“We wish the Martelli Brothers all the best as they move on independently with their events. We are proud of the contribution we have made helping them resurrect the Mint 400 and very proud of our team that did all the hard work behind the scenes to make it happen,” Best In The Desert CEO Daryl Folks said. "We have been working on contingency plans for some time regarding our 2020 Event Schedule and will be making announcements regarding our plans shortly.”
“I echo my brothers’ sentiments and I’m excited about the opportunities change brings for us,” BITD CMO Bryan Folks said. “I would like to particularly thank our sponsors who have stood behind us over the years. This move gives us the freedom to focus 100% of our efforts on our events and our sponsors and eliminates any conflicts that we have experienced trying to manage race operations for the Martelli Brothers.”
The next round in the BITD Series is the VT Construction Silver State 300 Presented By Polaris set for May 2-5 in Las Vegas.
