Can-Am’s David Martinez Wins
Mint 400 Pro Unlimited
David Martinez Takes the
Win in just his third BITD event
Las Vegas, NV (3/14/2016) - Can-Am’s
David Martinez took his #2905 Maverick to victory
lane at Americas historic off-road race the Mint
400 in the Pro Unlimited Class. It marked Martinez’s
first Best in the Desert victory in just his third
start.
A standout racer for Can-Am in WORCS competition,
Martinez made the switch to BITD to compete this
year. He had a perfect day at the legendary Mint
400.

David Martinez started the Mint
400 race shortly after sunrise |
“It was just an epic day,” said Martinez. “This
was a long time coming and I couldn’t have asked
for a better setting than the Mint 400. To put
Can-Am on the top of the podium at such a prestigious
race as this was just amazing. We didn’t have
one failure today. I went out with a game plan
to finish strong. I wanted to keep the car together:
driving smart, clean and consistent. “The Can-Am
was just flawless today.”
Martinez’s racing effort is supported in large
part by his family. In fact, he dedicated his
victory to his mother, Beverly, who was celebrating
her 70th birthday on race day.
“She really makes this a family affair,” said
Martinez. “It was her birthday week and she was
just beside herself when I came thru with the
top spot. My dad has been a pinnacle of support,
wrenching day and night to make this win happen.”

which was only his third race in the Best
in the Desert Series |
Martinez also thanked his long list of sponsors.
“I can’t say enough about our 2016 sponsors,”
said Martinez. “Can-Am provided the car for us
and it feels so awesome to finally bring the top
spot home for them at such a historical event.
Rugged Radios stepped up with unmatched communications.
ITP tires & wheels didn’t have one flat today,
which speaks in volume when given the terrain
and miles. S3 Powersports provided the toughest
long travel kit on the market. Fox Racing Shox
took anything the course could throw at us with
comfort & ease. Motul lubricants kept the
motor strong and cool under pressure. Beard Seats
kept us in plush comfort the whole way. KC HiLites
turned night into day. Craft Union Engineering
for prepping the car to the next level. I feel
we have found a winning platform of sponsors,
products & support crew to flourish from this
race season. “Thanks to all that believed in us”
Martinez will be back in action May 5-8 during
the Laughlin Desert Classic, Round 4 of the Best
in the Desert Championship.
