Adam Householder has conquered the Mint 400 for the second year in a row winning the event overall in the Unlimited Class. Householder is the only driver to complete all four grueling laps in under seven hours.
“I’m whooped—that was brutal!” Householder said after crossing the finish line. “The pace we were running was so fast, and we were pushing. It was basically go until whoever breaks, and then the last two laps we were in conservative mode. Even in that, the rocks would come out of nowhere, and trying to avoid them was very difficult, but all we had to do was be smooth and make it to the finish line. Back to back, I’ll take that!”
The top qualifier for the race was Dale Dondel. He lost the lead due to an extended pit stop. Mechanical issues and flat tires plagued many of the front runners. In the end, Conner McMullen finished in second overall and won his class in a Spec Truck. Troy Grabowski rounded out the podium in third.
