Maxxis' Matt Parks
Takes Second in SxS at BITD Vegas to Reno
Best In The Desert
Racing Series - TSCO Vegas To Reno - August 18,
2011
Suwanee, GA (8/25/2011) - Matt
Parks took the second-place spot in the UTV class
at Best in the Desert’s Vegas to Reno race,
held August 19 in Nevada.
Having drawn the first starting position, Parks
held the lead for much of the race, and he finished
in 16:33:01 hours. Only a battery problem and
another minor mechanical difficulty kept Parks
and teammates Jason Spiess, Mark Holz and Rob
Utendorfer from first place. “We had a great
race and led most of the time,” said Parks.
“This was my first race with the new Vipr
tires, and they worked really well. In Vegas to
Reno, you see all types of terrain from near rock
crawling to hardpack to sand to knee-deep silt.
The Viprs handled all of it and were very stable
at the high speeds. Awesome tire!”
Just reaching the finish line was a considerable
achievement: While 15 UTV entrants started the
grueling race in the 1900 class, just 5, including
Parks and his teammates, were able to finish.
Other notable finishers for Maxxis included Quad
Pro riders Greg Stuart and Nic Graunland who won
the overall ATV contest, completing the race in
11:06:39 hours.
Maxxis congratulates Matt Parks, Greg Stuart
and Nic Graunland on their victories!
