After a 9-year hiatus, the Best In The Desert Racing Association returns to Pahrump, Nevada, December 1st thru 4th, to stage the all-new Pahrump Nugget “250” presented by Supercross.com.

Ever since the new Pahrump Nugget “250” presented by Supercross.com was announced at a special news conference held prior to the “Vegas to Reno” race in August, 2015, a wave of excitement has been building among race teams, the citizens of Pahrump, and the entire off-road racing community. The Pahrump Nugget “250” presented by Supercross.com will not only mark a return of off-road racing to Pahrump, it will also be the final race on the 2016 Best In The Desert schedule with Season Class Championships resting on its outcome. What a great way to bring the excitement of off-road racing back to this fine city.

Hosted by the Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino, the Pahrump Nugget “250” presented by Supercross.com will feature a one-way loop racecourse of approximately 255 miles in length. This race will be open to Best In The Desert’s Car, Truck, and UTV classes. The race will start just north of Pahrump and finish at the Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino. The race will also feature a free large spectator area where race fans and locals can take in all the action of Best In The Desert off-road desert racing.

Time Trials for the Trick Trucks and Unlimited Class 1500 Cars will be held on Thursday, December 1st. Tech Inspection, Contingency Row, and Drivers’ Registration will be held Friday, December 2nd in the surrounding area of Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino. Saturday, December 3rd is Race Day, with the Awards Presentation on Sunday, December 4th. There will also be a special one-day Pre-Fun Run on Saturday, November 26th.
