Luke McMillin Declared Official Winner of 2020 Silver State 300
July 1, 2020
Off Road Racer Staff
The rumors that surrounded this year’s VT Construction Silver State 300 were true: a major penalty in the Trick Truck class has changed the overall winner.
After a 30-minute penalty to Concrete Motorsports for cutting the course, Luke McMillin’s unofficial second place finish has been changed to an official victory. McMillin’s time of 3:48:43.484 was just over three minutes faster than runner-up Bryce Menzies, while Steve Olliges was bumped up to the final spot on the class podium. The penalty bounced the #70 team all the way down to 13th position in class.
McMillin’s Silver State victory continues a torrid stretch for the #83 team. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, he opened his season with a runner-up finish at the second annual King of the Hammers T1 Desert Invitational, and followed it up with his first career Mint 400 victory in March. McMillin and Menzies have now gone 1-2 in all three races they’ve entered this year, with the latter taking the Desert Invitational win.
The podiums of other major classes were unchanged, with Jake Johnson (1500), Kyle Jergensen (6100), Phil Blurton (UTV Turbo), and Seth Quintero (UTV Production) each retaining their victories after BITD’s tracker review. The series will resume on August 12-15 with this year’s Maxxis Tires Casey Folks Vegas to Reno, the longest point-to-point desert race in the United States at over 500 miles.
