A longtime off-road racer and now owner and CEO of Jimco Racing, Robbie Pierce has earned his most significant win of his career. “This one feels really good – not just to win, but to win with my team in our JIMCO. It means a lot. It’s been a rough year for all of us, but I think it speaks to the tenacity of off-road racing culture that we kept pushing forward. I couldn’t be more proud of this team.  They are why we won this race, they never gave up. We struggled with a transmission issue right after the start that put us down a couple hours and lost a driveshaft in San Felipe but we just kept fighting back. This whole crew worked their butts off for 36 hours straight. I am going to try and enjoy this victory and take it all in!” stated Pierce.
