Owned by off-road veteran Jamie Campbell, Raceco-USA is known for its extensive line of aftermarket components for the Honda Talon platform, as well as for offering top-level off-road fabrication services. In recent years, Team Raceco Honda ran Honda’s official short-course project, competing for two years in the Championship Off-Road series’ highly competitive Pro Stock class and scoring the win at the prestigious Crandon, Wisconsin, round in 2023.
This season, the team will compete in the AORRC’s UTV Pro division (the series’ premier side-by-side class), racing a Talon 1000R equipped with a Jackson Racing turbo. The drivers for this year’s edition of the historic Mint 400, which takes place on Friday (qualifying Thursday), are two-time Dakar Rally motorcycle winner Ricky Brabec and two-time SCORE Pro UTV NA Champion Ricky Torres, with Madison Ebberts and Chris Arreaza handling co-driver duties. The team may feature other drivers in the series’ following races, which include the Silver State 300, Vegas to Reno and the Laughlin Desert Challenge (the Parker 400 was already held).
“I bleed Honda Red!” Campbell said. “I’m very grateful for the opportunities that Honda has presented to me over the years. Desert racing has always been my biggest passion, so with this new program, I’m excited to get back to my roots.”
“Off-road racing has been an important proving ground for Honda powersports products for generations, so we’re pleased to partner with Team Raceco Honda to take on the inaugural season of the American Off-Road Racing Championship,” said Brandon Wilson, Manager of Racing & Advertising at American Honda. “We’re confident that Team Raceco Honda will effectively leverage the AORRC’s UTV Pro division to showcase the performance and durability that define Honda side-by-sides.”
Live timing, tracking and streaming of the Mint 400 is possible here, beginning Friday at 7:30 a.m. PT/10:30 a.m. ET. To keep up with the latest news on the Red Riders, visit the Instagram channels for Team Raceco Honda and JCR Honda.
