“We’re absolutely thrilled to be launching this new league and championship points series,” said Unlimited Off-Road Racing CEO and co-owner Matt Martelli. “This is the culmination of two decades of work in the off-road industry, on both the marketing and production side, and more than a decade of work promoting off-road events. We want to thank our racers, teams, sponsors, partners, volunteers, fans and our staff for their support and help over the years. We have so many exciting plans in store for next year, and we’re proud to be hosting and promoting three of the most iconic and challenging races on the planet.”
Unlimited Off-Road Racing will offer teams the opportunity to compete for cash, prizes and a prestigious points championship across three of the most exciting and distinguished desert races in the sport. The series will also offer unparalleled media exposure via Mad Media, the team that supercharged coverage of The Mint 400, including a worldwide live stream, social media and national television coverage for each event.
“The launch of this new season and series is the byproduct of years worth of hard work, building our events to be the best possible for our racers, sponsors and fans,” said Josh Martelli, chief operating officer and co-owner of Unlimited Off-Road Racing. “It takes an army of co-workers, friends, volunteers and support from folks like the BLM, state and county officials, our professional safety and security teams, and event partners to pull this off. But we do it because we love it. And because we love it, we don’t cut corners. Unlimited Off-Road Racing has been in the works since 2020, and we’ve been very vocal about building the preeminent desert off-road race league in North America. We’re thrilled to have so much support, and we can’t wait to kick things off with the return of The Parker 400!”

“I am particularly excited for the gradual rollout of the new UNLTD Off-Road Racing website over the next few months. We have invested tremendously in an enhanced registration system that will undoubtedly take our league to the next level,” said Unlimited Off-Road Racing Event Director Kilian Hamlin. “We can now jumpstart our racer contingency program; create points championships for major categories like constructors, tire manufacturers and OEMs; tie purse and contingency contributions by class directly to our entry list; automate points distribution immediately upon race result certification; and drivers will now have their own public profiles that will display their Unlimited Off-Road Racing results data, including races dating back to the early 2010s.”
Details on the 2024 Unlimited Off-Road Racing Series will be released in the coming months.
