From April 28 to May 5, Sara participated in the Norra 1000 aboard her Monster Energy Can-Am Maverick X3 prepared by Alsup Racing Development in the Evolution Stock Turbo UTV class. Coming off a win at the Sonora, Sara and 16 year old Navigator Saydiie Gray took the green flag in a stacked up class against 28 other competitors. The rally started in Ensenada and drivers crossed the checkered flag in La Paz after completing 5 stages and roughly 1000 miles.

Dos Mares 500 Recap

From the Norra 1000 checkered flag to the Dos Mares 500 start (literally!).

The SP Motorsports crew did not waste time on that one! From hitching rides to registration and driving straight to the starting line, the Can-Am Maverick proved once again to be the best machine for the job. Sara took the green flag on May 5 with co-driver Mitchel Alsup and the pair would switch seat half way through the race. Missing their fuel stops, they managed to finish 2nd overall in the UTV Turbo class. For more information, please visit DosMares500.com.
