Alamo, NV (5/8/2015) - Can-Am/ITP/Lonestar
Racing’s Jason and Derek Murray added another
race to their impressive, and growing, list
of consecutive finishes at the Best in the Desert
Silver State 300, bringing their total to 35.
Conditions for the BITD Silver State 300
were dry and dusty and adding to the challenge
of the course, the UTV classes were released
after the trophy trucks, which created some
very rough conditions and very deep silt beds,
but that didn’t stop the Murray Brothers from
finishing yet another race.

Derek & Jason Murray debuted
their new Can-Am Maverick Turbo at the
BITD Silver State 300 |
Jason and Derek Murray brought out their
Can-Am Maverick Turbo for this round and had
no issues with running a fast and steady pace.
“The new Maverick Turbo is incredible. The
power and torque are amazing, and the throttle
response was spot on,” said Derek Murray.
The Murray’s started off well, but they were
plagued with wheel issues due to the rough
conditions. “The course was way rougher this
year with us starting behind the trucks; with
a lot of rocks and silt and it really changed
the dynamic of the race. It was a real off
road course, and it was awesome,” said Derek
Murray.
“It was a fun race and we had a good time
even though we had a few issues with wheels,
and our brakes went out at one point, but
overall it was a good race and we got another
finish. That’s 34 or 35 consecutive finishes
for us, and we are pretty stoked about it,”
said Jason Murray.

Despite
dealing with several wheels failures,
the Murray Brothers never gave up &
crossed the finish line shortly after
sunset to record their 35th straight
finish in the Best in the Desert Series |
With the issues they encountered the Murray
brothers finished the race in 22nd place overall.
“We had high hopes of coming out here and
finishing on the box, but we did have some
adversity today. We just have a little fine
tuning to do and this Can-Am Turbo is going
to be winning races,” said Derek Murray.
The next round of the Best in the Desert
series is the General Tire Vegas to Reno run
on August 13-15th where the Murray brothers
will be ready and going for the top of the
podium.
