Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Officials with the Mint 400 announced Wednesday that “The Great American Off-Road Race™” will adjust their event dates and move to Wednesday, December 1st through Sunday, December 5th, 2021.
The shift comes in response to the inability by the State of Nevada, Southern Nevada Health District and COVID 19 Mitigation Task Force to permit large scale events in Clark County.
Since the Ivanpah Valley is closed to off-road racing between March 15th and November 1st, and there are numerous outdoor events already scheduled in the fall, the new December dates were the only available option.
“The health and safety of our racers, sponsors, exhibitors, staff, and the public has always been, and will always be, our number one priority,” said Mint 400 Co-Owner and CEO Matt Martelli. “We don’t have a green light from the State or County to hold the event in March, because all large scale events are still on hold. We are making this decision now because we recognize that traveling to Las Vegas and participating in the Mint is a significant financial investment. By doing so, we are preserving the safety, integrity, fun, and value of this historic race for everyone involved.”
The announcement today comes after several months of close consultation with all of the major Mint 400 stakeholders and permitting agencies including the Bureau of Land Management, State of Nevada, Clark County, City of Las Vegas, Fremont East District, Nevada Department of Transportation, and local law enforcement – all of whom expressed overwhelming support for The Mint 400 festival and race.
