Fresh off of making history by becoming the first American to win the Dakar Rally in the side-by-side vehicle class, we sat down with Casey Currie to catch up. At 14 days, 5000 miles, and 342 competitors, the Dakar Rally is considered to be one of the most difficult races in the world, and we wanted to know what it took for Casey to make it to the top of the box. We also talked about some of his other recent races, like Vegas to Reno, the longest off-road race in the US that he ran in August.

After competing in two races such as these, you’d think things might slow down a bit. But they’re not. We spoke to Casey about what other competitions he’s eyeing next and what the rest of his year looks like in-between plotting his course of disruption in the off-road race world. Hint: it’s more off-roading.
