As Americans have begun to make their mark in the Dakar Rally over recent years, few have more potential to become long-term icons of the event, or the sport of rally raid, than Seth Quintero. Dominant in American desert racing as a teenager, winning events from the Mint 400 to the UTV World Championship, Quintero earned the call from Red Bull to compete on a global stage for the first time in 2020, and he debuted at Dakar in 2021. In his first two Dakars, he won 18 combined stages in the...

If you were to split Brian Deegan’s career into three pieces—motocross, short course, and rallycross—most top racers or riders in each category would be happy to settle for what he accomplished there. On two wheels, Deegan was a pioneer of freestyle motocross whose ghost ride across the finish line in Los Angeles birthed a whole new sport; in off-road trucks, he scored numerous wins and titles, including the Crandon World Championship; in rallycross, he was a regular title contender in Global...

Few names in drag racing history can say that they’ve driven for both Don Prudhomme and Don Schumacher, but NHRA legend Ron Capps counts himself among the list. With experience in both Top Fuel and the Funny Car division where he’s found his greatest success, Capps counts dozens of Wallys on his racing record—and he’s one of fewer than 20 racers to have won in both classes. His third career Funny Car title in 2022 was extra sweet for multiple reasons: not only did it come in Capps’ first year...

If you’ve been missing James Hinchcliffe behind the wheel, rejoice: he’ll be joining his fellow Canadians at Pfaff Motorsports for the endurance races in the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, starting with January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona. It marks the first outings for the Mayor of Hinchtown since he traded in his NTT IndyCar Series helmet for a microphone at NBC Sports and on F1 TV for the past two years. The Ontario native won six times in his IndyCar career, where he drove for...

Bryce Menzies capped off a dominant 2023 SCORE World Desert Championship over the weekend by earning the overall win in the 56th SCORE Baja 1000, teaming up with Tavo Vildosola and Andy McMillin to conquer more than 1300 miles up the Baja Peninsula from La Paz to Ensenada. The win made him the 2023 Trophy Truck class champion with three wins in four races, as well as just the 10th driver in history to have won the Baja 1000, Baja 500, and San Felipe 250. Menzies’ accolades extend far beyond...

The General Tire Jim Beaver Show joins the off-road racing world in mourning the loss of Kyle LeDuc. The son of the legendary Curt LeDuc, Kyle carved his own impressive legacy over two decades of racing in short course’s biggest events. He turned pro in 2002, won his first Crandon World Championship in Pro Lite in 2003, and his first season-long title the next year. After moving up to Pro 4 in 2008, he became one of the most dominant drivers of a generation, taking seven Lucas Oil Off-Road...

Compressing Travis Pastrana’s career into a short blurb is an impossible task—but when you’ve had so much success in so many disciplines, you almost need no introduction. Maybe you know him from his feats on two wheels, from AMA Motocross and Supercross titles to X Games gold or even his stunts with Nitro Circus. Maybe it’s his four-wheel feats, from numerous American stage rally titles to wins across multiple rallycross disciplines, including the series he founded, Nitrocross. He’s won a...

Antron Brown has been a mainstay of the NHRA’s top levels since 1998, first in Pro Stock Motorcycle and since 2008 in the premier Top Fuel class. After finishing second in PSM points in 2001 and 2006, Brown became drag racing’s first African-American champion when he took the 2012 Top Fuel title; he then added two more in 2015 and 2016. In 2022, the former Don Schumacher Racing driver took over full ownership of his team, which continues to this day as AB Motorsports. Brown and fellow Top...

One of America’s most successful open-wheel racers on a global stage, Alexander Rossi has carved out a career as one of IndyCar’s most compelling drivers. After making five F1 race starts for Manor Marussia in 2015, he stepped back into a reserve role there for 2016 to race for Michael Andretti and Bryan Herta stateside; the partnership paid off with an Indianapolis 500 win in their first try. Giving up his F1 role for good the next year, Rossi spent seven seasons with Andretti, took eight...

For the third time in his career and the second time in three years, Keegan Kincaid won the biggest race in short course this fall, taking the 2023 Red Bull Cup at his hometown Crandon International Raceway. Few drivers are as successful in Cup races at Crandon, which pit Pro 4 and Pro 2 trucks against one another in a staggered start for a winner-take-all battle. Alongside his three Red Bull Cup wins in 2016, 2021, and this year, Kincaid also has two wins in the Forest County Potawatomi...
