“The O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Race at the Mint 400 is one of the purest celebrations of off-road racing of all levels that you can find,” said Mint 400 CEO Matt Martelli. “O’Reilly’s support has allowed us to create a race unlike any other in the sport and reward some of the most fun classes in desert racing with the $10,000 O’Reilly Auto Parts Bonus. Be sure to join us in Primm to see all the action in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Race!”
Joe Terrana won last year’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Mint 400 Limited Race in a dramatic finish, crossing the line third behind Ryan Piplic and Bruce Binnquist but beating them both on corrected time. As was the case last year, the O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Race will feature everything from professional UTV racers to sportsman cars and trucks, military and vintage machines, and everything in between. Gates for the midway will open at 6AM on race day, with pre-runner classes leaving the start line at 7AM and car, truck, and UTV classes taking the green at 8AM.
