Eibach, a global leader in performance suspension systems, proudly congratulates its race ambassadors for an extraordinary showing at the legendary Best In The Desert Vegas to Reno event, hailed as one of the longest off-road races in the United States. With victories across multiple divisions, Eibach-equipped racers once again proved that world-class suspension technology is the foundation of championship-winning performance.

The 500-mile “Casey Folks Vegas to Reno” challenge tested the grit, speed, and endurance of every competitor, but Eibach-equipped teams swept the overall win, Trick Truck division victory, and multiple podiums across 6100 and 4800 classes.

GRAF Caputres Overall & Trick Truck Victory

At the forefront of the action, Tracey Graff and co-driver Justin “Bean” Smith piloted the #58 Racer Engineering Trick Truck to the overall win, finishing as the top four-wheeled vehicle on course. Starting second off the line after a strong qualifying run, Graff and teammate Frankie Randell laid the foundation before handing driving duties to Smith, who crossed the finish line in 8 hours, 12 minutes, and 32.437 seconds.

With just nine competitors starting in the Trick Truck class and only four reaching the finish, the victory was a testament to flawless preparation, precise pit work, and high-performance parts like Eibach springs.

“Man, it was a challenge and a battle! Thank you to everyone involved. I’ve been racing Vegas to Reno on and off for nearly 20 years, and this is my first win here,” said Smith at the finish line. Graff echoed the emotion, dedicating the win to teammate Sam’s beloved dog Stella, saying, “It only felt right to do everything we could to win Vegas to Reno. Feels good to get it done.”

The victory by Graff and Smith capped a clean sweep for Eibach in the elite Trick Truck division, with Craig McCarthy (#48) finishing 2nd in 8 hours, 34 minutes, and 39 seconds and John Bowers (#84) securing 3rd place on the podium. With Eibach-equipped trucks standing on every step of the box, the results reinforced the brand’s reputation for delivering suspension performance capable of conquering the toughest desert terrain at the highest levels of competition.

Four-Peat Victory for Jason Coleman

In the highly competitive 6100 Spec Truck division, Jason Coleman and navigator Brady Melin powered their #6192 1Nine Industries built truck to victory for the fourth consecutive year. Coleman’s class-winning time of 8 hours, 24 minutes, and 23 seconds was good enough for the 2nd fastest overall full-size vehicle and highlighted both driver consistency and team execution. There were 20 starters in the class and 16 that crossed the finish line.

Coleman, who qualified third in class before race day, delivered another statement on consistent performances: “Four times in a row! I cannot say thank you enough to everyone involved with our program to make this happen. This isn’t luck, this is hard work with an amazing group of people.”

Eibach’s dominance in the 6100 ranks was absolute, with all top five finishers running Eibach springs. Trey Gibbs in his Mason Motorsports-built #6115 delivered a breakout performance, finishing 2nd in class and an impressive 3rd fastest overall on corrected time, crossing the finish line in 08 hours 27 minutes, and 05.615 seconds. Further proving the depth of talent among Eibach-equipped racers, Dane Miller secured 3rd in class, followed by Justin Blower in 4th and Brent Fox in 5th, locking out the top five and underscoring Eibach’s unmatched consistency across one of the sport’s most competitive divisions.

4800 Vicotory for Justin Hall

Eibach performance was also on full display in the 4800 Legends class, where Justin Hall debuted a new car and drove the full 500-mile course to victory in 11:59:03. Hall crossed the line with more than an hour gap over second place, making a statement in one of the toughest events of the year.

“Man, what an absolutely crazy experience this was. We came, and we conquered. Our pit crews were the game-changer. Without them, none of this would have been possible,” said Hall after the race.
