THE PARKER 400 IS BACK! UNLTD Off-Road Racing would like to extend a sincere thank-you to:
Our racers, teams, volunteers, staff, and partners. THANK YOU for your support, and for making the 50th Anniversary Parker 400 a milestone in our sport and season. We appreciate you!
To all our VOLUNTEERS, who sacrificed work and family time, paused your lives, journeyed to Parker, and assisted in countless tasks like managing checkpoints, road crossings, waiver shifts, and recording race vehicle numbers - your dedication is invaluable. Your support is the cornerstone of our success, and we are deeply grateful for each one of you.
A special thank you to the Town of Parker, Mayor Hartless, Parker Area Chamber of Commerce, County Board of Supervisors, Chief Bailey and the Parker Police Department, and Chief Gray and the La Paz County Sheriff's Department. Thank you for helping us bring off-road racing back to this area.
