Lynden, WA (3/16/2016) - Holz Racing driver Benjamin Bischoff finished third in the UTV Production Class at the Mint 400 Best in the Desert Racing Series event. Bischoff, from British Columbia, Canada, earned his first BITD podium, while Ryan, Mark and Jeremy Holz fell out of the event early after a fluke mechanical issue.

Bischoff battled his way through the tough race, run around Buffalo Bill’s Casino. The track, known as one of the toughest in desert off road racing, got rougher as the race went on.

“The race went better than we expected,” said Bischoff. “We flew through the first lap. On lap two, we had a small fire while we were refueling. The second lap was twice as rough as the first. We changed tires and I ran as hard as I could on the third lap. This is our first podium, so I’m just proud to get on the podium for Holz Racing.”

Bischoff’s podium comes 11 years after he set out to become a desert racing. His story is almost storybook in its telling.

“Back in 2005 I watched that movie ‘From Dust to Glory’, and in 2010, I went out and bought a RZR,” explained Bischoff. “Every time I drove it, I wanted to be racing. So I raced the Mint 400 in a homemade machine three years ago and I only made it 35 miles. So we hooked up with Holz and we’ve been competitive ever since.”

Mark Holz was challenging at the front of the field when the bracket that holds the blue safety light broke and fell into the engine compartment, which damaged the engine and ended their race day from a fluke failure.
