Women SxS Race Teams Win at BITD Mint

Mesa, AZ (4/3/2012) - Billed as
“The Great American Off-Road Race,”
The Mint 400 made history this year as UTV classes
were included for the first time. DragonFire celebrated
with wins in both the Pro SxS class and the UTV
Sportsman class. Having a well-deserved reputation
for being both the toughest and longest off-road
race in North America, the miles of whoops, rocks,
ruts and silt made for a case of survival of the
fittest among the 30 UTVs to start the race.
As dirty as it was, DragonFire-equipped teams
cleaned up, finishing 1-2 in the Class 1900 Pro
Side By Side. Derek Murray piloting the #1917
Murray Motorsports Can-Am Commander drew the 18th
starting place in Pro SxS, having to eat the dust
of 150 competitors in other classes. However,
by the end of the first 93- mile lap, Murray had
moved up to third place, and after a quick driver
swap, Jason Murray brought the 1000cc machine
across the finish line in first.
“Murray Motorsports would like to thank
our sponsors for the wonderful support,”
says Derek Murray. “Especially DragonFire
for making some of the industry-leading accessories
needed to push more power out when you want to
go fast!” In an even tougher battle, Sportsman
Class racers Lacrecia Beurrier and Corina Fallon
started dead last in the Rockstar Racing/DragonFire
RZR800, behind a slew of bigger displacement 900s.
A navigational error in the first loop made matters
worse; “I made a wrong turn somewhere around
mile 10,” says Lacrecia. “Some guys
in a broken Trophy Lite were nice enough to point
us back to the track… I’m sure they
thought we were complete idiots.” Despite
the wrong turn and a flat tire, the team completed
the course in tick over 5 hours, 16 minutes —
good enough for first Sportsman and 4th Overall!
“Thank you to my husband, Eric, for building
us such a tough car. Thank you to my crew for
their fast pit
stops, my son Trevor for putting up with his mom
racing and thank you to our newest sponsor, DragonFire
Racing,” says Lacrecia. “We are hoping
for even better things to come!”
