The Mint 400

Known as “The Great American Off-Road Race™,” The Mint 400 (www.themint400.com) is the oldest, most prestigious, and most challenging off-road race on the planet. This annual four-hundred-mile marathon between the top off-road racers in the world includes over five hundred race teams in eighty different classes of off-road vehicles. Established in 1968, The Mint 400 is steeped in American lore. Thousands of racers and celebrities from around the world have attempted to tame the brutal Nevada desert, but less than half of them have ever finished the Mint. An entire week of events lead up to the famed off-road contest in and around Las Vegas, including a vehicle parade down the Las Vegas Strip, a drivers meet and greet, a pit crew challenge contest, the Miss Mint 400 beauty pageant, massive parties, a qualifying race, and a huge ten-block festival “contingency” gathering on Fremont Street East. Over sixty-five thousand spectators gather to watch the world's best off-road race teams do battle at The Mint 400.
