PRIMM, Nev. — In a spirited battle between entries helmed by past race winners, Dalton Shirey teamed with Sam Pretscherer to take down Preston Campbell and Ricky Brabec in the 2025 BFGoodrich Tires Mint 400 Motorcycle Race.
Shirey, who last won the race two years ago, took his fourth victory in six years with a six-lap time of 7:28:44, just over three minutes ahead of Campbell, the defending race winner.
“It was pretty smooth,” Shirey said of the win. “We got a good start off the beginning, had a little hiccup and confusion, but we got it figured out and kept racing. Sam rode solid, I brought the bike back to him, he brought it back to me, and we brought it home.”
100 motorcycles lined up in Primm on Saturday morning to take on six laps of this year’s course, with Open Pro Motorcycle entries like Shirey and Campbell sharing the course with various sportsman, Hooligan, and even EV entries. The past winners would quickly check out on the field, putting a gap on third place Jarett Megla through the first two laps and isolating themselves.
Campbell led the first two laps on time, but the top spot flipped coming to halfway when Shirey gained back nearly five minutes. The #P3 team would make up most of the gap on the fourth lap, only for Shirey and Pretscherer to respond with faster laps on the final two circuits to pad the gap to 3:10 when all was said and done. Megla would hang on for third in the class and overall ahead of Nic Colangeli.
When all was said and done, five different classes would crown their winners in the overall top 10. Nolan Rudd (Over 30 Sportsman) and Danny Cooper (Open Sportsman) would come home fifth and sixth overall, while Christopher Fry (Over 40 Sportsman) and Brian Roberts (Open Ironman Sportsman) would place eighth and ninth, the first two racers off the lead lap overall.
The race was broadcast on SPEED SPORT 1.
