“It is truly awesome to have great companies like Long Investments and Quantum Motorsports get involved,” said Operations Manager Donald Jackson. “$18,000.00 in prize money is a big payout and that is in addition to normal class payout except in the Pro Turbo Class. With every Pro entry that signs up, Best In The Desert puts more money back into Class payouts. In addition to having great 1st place money, we wanted to reward those who did push through adversity and finished Top 10 Overall in UTVs and Top 15 Overall in Bikes and Quads so we set aside bonus money for those positions as well.”

Best In The Desert is always trying new and exciting things by thinking outside the box as to how to make events better for participants and spectators. It’s easy to follow the same format time and time again but change keeps the team motivated, excited, and driven to provide the best racer and fan experience possible. The Jagged X National Desert Cup Presented by Quantum Motorsports is another example of creativity. With heat races, last chance qualifiers (LCQs), and main events, the excitement will be non-stop.

Laughlin, NV visitors will also be excited to learn about all the fun things happening in town during the race including a Daughtry concert Saturday night, March 21, 2020, for which Best In The Desert will be raffling off tickets to one lucky race contestant.

Plus, the month of March is arguably the best time to visit southern Nevada. The weather is beautiful and there are plenty of things to do outside the casinos and resorts including exploring the grand Colorado River by boat, kayak, or jet ski, visiting the Hoover Dam right over the Nevada/Arizona border, playing a game of golf at Laughlin Ranch, or checking out the beautiful vistas in the nearby Black Mountains.
