The History & Legacy of the Mint 400
Founded in 1968, the Mint 400 is the oldest and most prestigious off-road race in America. Originally organized by the Mint Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas, it earned the nickname 'The Great American Off-Road Race' and was famously depicted in Hunter S. Thompson's 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' After a hiatus, the race was revived in 2008 and has grown into the largest off-road race in North America, with 500+ entries and massive spectator crowds in Primm, Nevada — just 40 minutes south of the Las Vegas Strip.
