The Gordon duo saw success earlier this year at the Parker 400. The father-son duio shared driving duties in their No. 5 Unlimited Truck 4WD entry, they completed three laps of the 106-mile course in 4 hours, 58 minutes, 56 seconds. Their blistering pace made them the only team to break the five-hour mark for the weekend.\r\n\r\nKyle Chaney scored a hard-fought overall victory in the 2026 Silver State 300 Limited Race, edging a stacked UTV Pro field in one of the closest finishes of the American Off-Road Racing Championship season. The battle for victory remained intense throughout the day, with multiple front-runners separated by mere seconds on corrected time. Ronnie Anderson finished second, just 25 seconds behind Chaney after more than five hours of racing, while Corbin Leaverton completed the podium in third. Mitch Guthrie initially crossed the finish line first after charging from the eighth starting position, but officials later assessed a five-minute penalty for using an illegal race line at Race Mile 74 on all three laps. The penalty dropped Guthrie to fifth in the final standings and elevated Chaney to the top step.\r\n\r\nLead Photo courtesy of Unlimited Off Road Racing","excerpt":"
