Arctic Cat Forms New Partnership with Dempsey Off-Road Adventures

Arctic Cat has partnered with off-road racing icon Chuck Dempsey to provide the Ultimate Off-Road Driving Experience. Dempsey Off-Road Adventures, based in Las Vegas gives enthusiasts an opportunity to be a part of Chuck’s life experiences via the seat of Arctic Cat’s pure sport Wildcat 1000 UTVs.

Utilizing a fleet of 2016 Arctic Cat Wildcat X models, Chuck will provide the perfect opportunity for people to experience the power and performance of Arctic Cat off-road UTVs through the majestic deserts surrounding Las Vegas, including the infamous Mint 400 race course in Nevada, as well as across the border in Mexico, on the Grand-daddy of all race courses, the Baja 1000.

Chuck Dempsey and his family have been involved in the off-road industry for over 40 years. Chuck personally has over 20 years’ professional off-road racing experience, competing in both motorcycle and truck classes, and was featured in the movie Dust to Glory. He most recently won the 2015 Baja 1000 on a dirt bike, finishing 5th overall against all factory teams entered.

“The trifecta between Chuck Dempsey, Las Vegas and our Wildcat models couldn’t be a better fit for Arctic Cat and adventure seekers, as we continue to partner with the best names in the off-road industry,” says Arctic Cat Chief Marketing Officer, Greg Williamson.

Chuck Dempsey agrees, “I’m extremely excited to partner with an American motorsports company like Arctic Cat who shares my same passion for off-road driving. My racing career has given me a lifetime of adventures and memories, and I’m stoked to have the opportunity to share it with people who also have the same passion for adventure.”
