The 2025 Mint 400 proved to be a landmark event for RTR Vehicles, showcasing the strength of our ongoing collaboration with Ford Performance. With RTR Off-Road Team drivers landing on the podium across three different classes, it was a weekend of pushing limits, proving capability, and reinforcing why Ford Performance is owning off-road, and together we continue to set the standard in modern-day off-road racing.
A Podium Debut for Bailey Campbell
Making her debut with the RTR Vehicles Off-Road Team, Bailey Campbell piloted the RTR Vehicles Ford Bronco 4600 to an impressive second-place finish in the 4600 Stock Class. Battling the rough Nevada terrain, Bailey crossed the line just behind John Williams' Ford Bronco, securing a Ford 1-2 finish. Her performance highlighted her racing prowess and underscored the capabilities of the Bronco platform, showcasing Ford Performance and RTR's commitment to building race-ready machines based on production vehicles built to perform under pressure.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. Battles in the Bronco Raptor
In the Stock Mini/Mid-Size Class, Vaughn Gittin Jr. went head-to-head in the Ford Bronco Raptor. Vaughn made light work of passing the other OEM competitors within the first few miles of the race, which included the factory Honda and Chevy entries. He then delivered an all-day battle, chasing down first-place finisher Brad Lovell in the Ford Ranger Raptor. After an intense back-and-forth fight through the rugged course, Vaughn locked in second place, contributing to Ford’s commanding presence on the podium.
Vaughn shared his thoughts on the impressive engineering behind these machines, saying, "What the Ford Engineering teams are accomplishing is unreal. The performance we've achieved with the Raptors is unheard of, considering how close these trucks are to showroom stock. Their ability to dominate such a challenging, rough, and unforgiving course is a true testament to Ford's engineering excellence."
Loren Healy Claims Victory in the F-150 Raptor R
Loren Healy, a force to be reckoned with in the Stock Full-Size Class, battled with Chevy and a Dodge TRX. Loren capitalized on the raw power and capabilities of the Ford F-150 Raptor R. Taking an early lead, Loren never looked back, charging across the desert and clinching first place. His win wasn’t just a personal triumph but a bold statement about the unmatched capability of the Raptor R when pushed to its limits.
Ford Dominance, RTR Driven
While other manufacturers like Chevrolet, Honda, and Dodge may have shown up, it was Ford vehicles that owned the podiums. Across every class we entered, the RTR Vehicles Off-Road Team stood tall, again proving that performance isn't just about showing up—it's about leading the pack.
