BFGoodrich racers, including defending overall winner Adam Householder, have their sights set on success at the 2025 Mint 400, March 7-8 in Primm, Nevada.
BFGoodrich Racing seeks its 13th consecutive overall victory at the Mint 400, after Householder claimed the Unlimited Race title last year in 6:46:59.4 on BFGoodrich Baja T/A KR3 tires. The race requires both speed and endurance from vehicles and drivers, with BFGoodrich tires playing a crucial role in helping teams navigate the demanding desert terrain.
Festivities around “The Great American Off-Road Race” kick off March 5 with the annual parade of race vehicles down the Las Vegas Strip.
In December, Unlimited Off-Road Racing and BFGoodrich announced the continuation of their partnership, with BFGoodrich remaining title sponsor through 2027. BFGoodrich has been title sponsor since 2018.
“It’s going to be another great Mint 400,” said Raymond Cotton, North American motorsports director. “We at BFGoodrich are thrilled to be back as title sponsor, and our racers are up for the challenge on the course. The Mint 400 is the perfect venue to put our teams to the test and to show the public just how well our tires perform.”
