ITP Dominates BITD Vegas to
Reno with 31" Ultracross
Murray's & Lambert Run
New 31-inch UltraCross R Spec tires
Ontario, CA (8/31/2016) - ITP
won the Vegas To Reno UTV overall at the 2016
Best In The Desert racing series event held in
Nevada. ITP / Cognito Motorsports driver Justin
Lambert, who ran ITP UltraCross® R Spec tires
on his Polaris Turbo, dominated the two-day race
to earn yet another impressive overall victory.
ITP SxS teams notched a total of three class wins
and seven of the top 10 finishes in the Pro UTV
Turbo class.
"It was another big race for ITP. Some of
our racers used the new 31-inch ITP UltraCross
R Spec tires, while others ran our larger 32-inch
size. Justin Lambert's overall victory, coupled
with the release of the Can-Am Maverick X3 and
the Murray Brothers' two class wins, made for
a great weekend in the desert," said Rhett
Turpin, Head of ITP Sales. "ITP UltraCross
tires continue to dominate the starting line and
the finish line, capturing seven of the top 10
finishes at another grueling Vegas To Reno Best
In The Desert race."

The Murray Brothers split up at
the Vegas To Reno race. Jason Murray won
the Pro UTV Turbo class using the new 31-inch
ITP UltraCross R Spec tires. |
Lambert stole the BITD show once again, as he
put his new Polaris XP 1000 dressed in durable
8-ply, 32-inch ITP UltraCross R Spec tires across
the finish line. He was the top finishing UTV
driver out of the more than 70 entries, winning
both the UTV overall and UTV Pro class (non turbo).
The win was Lambert's fifth straight and second
straight Vegas To Reno victory.
"ITP UltraCross tires have gotten us across
the finish first all season long," said Lambert.
"If you want to be the best, you have to
run the best."

Jason Murray drove the No. 917 Can-Am Maverick
MAX X ds, outfitted with all-new 8-ply, 31 x 9.5R-14
UltraCross R Spec tires, and finished an impressive
third overall amongst all UTVs and first in the
Pro UTV Turbo class. The win pushed the Murray
Racing Team to first in the Pro UTV Turbo class
points race. Derek Murray also won the Pro UTV
Unlimited class running the new 31-inch UltraCross
tires on the new Maverick X3 SxS.
"With the higher horsepower machines coming
to market, we provided feedback to ITP to help
it create a lightweight-yet-durable tire with
a little larger size," said Derek Murray.
"Behind the scenes we have been testing and
running the 31-inch UltraCross tire for months,"
added Murray.
"For the release of the new Can-Am Maverick
X3, we knew the 31-inch UltraCross was proven
and the tire of choice. This was the first race
for us using the durable, versatile tires. They
truly helped ensure two big class victories."
ITP racers Jake Carver and Mitch Guthrie Jr.,
both of who also ran the new 31-inch ITP UltraCross
tires on their Polaris vehicles, scored Pro UTV
Turbo podium finishes.
