The 2026 desert racing season kicked off in Parker, Arizona, with a showcase of grit, strategy, and all-terrain skill at the iconic Parker 400. The challenging course and shifting conditions once again proved a true test for racers across all disciplines.
In one of the most anticipated performances of the weekend, off-road veterans Robby and Max Gordon combined forces to take overall honors and the Unlimited Truck 4WD win in dramatic fashion. Their twin-engine, Geiser Brothers-built truck completed three grueling laps of the demanding desert course in 5:38:49.115, edging out fellow 4WD competitors by a narrow margin and showcasing veteran consistency and mechanical resilience.
The Unlimited SPEC class saw an impressive performance from Kyle Jergensen, who not only claimed class honors but also pressured the overall podium positions throughout the day before post-race adjustments cemented the class results.
In the motorcycle ranks, Shane Logan set a blistering pace to claim the Open Pro Motorcycle victory, overcoming a mid-race tire change and starting from the back of the field.
