Jeepspeed is a class within the Best In The Desert (BITD) racing series. In 2021, Jeepspeed will be featured in all five BITD events, plus the Mint 400. Yokohama’s GEOLANDAR M/T G003 is the spec tire. The 2021 BITD season opener kicks-off Jan. 13-16 at the Bluewater Resort Parker 425 in Parker, Arizona.
Jeepspeed will also be part of the LEGACY Racing Association’s final race – the LEGACY Battleground – in Jean, Nevada, Dec. 2-5.
“We’re really looking forward to our new partnership with Jeepspeed and the 2021 Yokohama Tire Jeepspeed Race Series,” said Fardad Niknam, Yokohama Tire’s senior director of product planning and product marketing. “There’s a good reason the Jeepspeed Series keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. It’s a highly competitive desert racing series that’s designed to keep the cost of racing down so more people can try it. We feel it’s an excellent fit for our GEOLANDAR tires.”
“All of us here at Jeepspeed are super-excited to welcome Yokohama Tire to the Jeepspeed family,” said Mike Barnett, Jeepspeed’s president. “Without support from sponsors, we can’t do what we do. Yokohama is looking forward to continuing their deep history in desert racing by partnering with Jeepspeed. Our combined effort will fortify Jeepspeed as a premier series in desert racing.”
