2016 BITD Mint 400 UTV Class Odds

Over 65 UTV's will start the Mint 400. Few will finish.UTV Driver

For the 2016 Mint 400, there are 65 UTV entries taking on the famous off road race outside of Las Vegas. This year Turbo cars and naturally aspirated machines will race for points in separate classes but the overall is just as important. This Saturday morning drivers will be taking off before the sun comes up and hoping all the preparation will help them tame the rough desert course. Some will finish and most will not. Only one will take the top spot and bragging rights. We have our thoughts together on the top 25 and who we think will park on top of the BITD podium at the end of the day.
