“We played it smart and didn’t get caught up in the mud holes and the ruts. The car handled really well and we just kept the hammer down and didn’t look back,” said Matt from Team Game On.
Rounding out the top five were Team CrashAddict/Can-Am taking fourth place, and Coastal National Guard’s Scott Kiger taking fifth.

Scott Kiger’s morning began in Las Vegas before sunrise as he left the starting line shortly after 6AM in the Best in the Desert Mint 400, and after racing across the desert for nearly 100 miles for over 2 hours, he handed the Polaris RZR to Mark Holz in second place. Kiger was then in another race, to travel around 2,000 miles to Georgia in time for the GNCC SxS Race, and amazingly, he made it with only minutes to spare to jump into the Polaris RZR before the beginning of the race. Amazingly, he rounded out the top five, which was an impressive yet crazy accomplishment.
