Vehicle Parade Kicks Of Mint 400 Festivities
Written by I Dig Sports
LAS VEGAS The BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400, the second round of the UNLTD Off-Road Racing Series season, has officially arrived in Las Vegas with the completion of this years Mint 400 Vehicle Parade.
Off-road enthusiasts and Las Vegas visitors alike were wowed by the worlds most powerful off-road machines, as tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment paraded down the Las Vegas Strip to kick off four days of events surrounding the Great American Off-Road Race.
Friday and Saturdays events can be seen on SPEED SPORT 1.
Unlike years past, the 2025 Mint 400 Vehicle Parade changed course, swapping out the Mandalay Bay as its starting point and instead wrapping up there. This years parade would start at Circus Circus before taking over Las Vegas Boulevard with hundreds of cars, trucks, UTVs, and motorcycles, stopping bystanders in their tracks and dazzling the crowds that had gathered for the annual event.
This years parade was led by Grand Marshal Stone Cold Steve Austin, who will also take part in this years race as a competitor in the UTV Pro NA class. Austin was joined in the parade by entries from up and down this years entry list, from major and factory-backed teams like Polaris Factory Racing and Terrible Herbst Motorsports, to grassroots efforts like Ironman Motorcycle entries and Class 11 cars.
Huge thanks to everyone who took part in and watched this years Mint 400 Vehicle Parade, said UNLTD CEO Matt Martelli. Its always a blast to get to take over the Las Vegas Strip to kick off race week in the city, but to do something new this year by running the route in reverse was an awesome change of pace. It was great to have our Grand Marshal Steve Austin leading the way before he competes in this years race, too.
We hope all the fans will join us on Fremont Street tomorrow for the Mint 400 Off-Road Festival before following us out to Primm for race days.
Wednesdays festivities continue with The Beast Mint 400 Kickoff Party at Atomic Liquors on Fremont Street, where Stephen Wilson Jr. will perform an acoustic set as racers and fans alike gather to celebrate the return of Mint 400 week.
The party returns to Fremont Street on Thursday morning with the Mint 400 Off-Road Festival, kicking off at 9 a.m., while the top Limited classes will qualify in Primm in the morning as well.
