This conversation matters a lot to us at the Parker 400.
Arizona has long been one of the strongest states for public land access, and it’s a big part of why off-road racing continues to thrive here.
Events like the Parker 400 depend on responsible access, strong partnerships, and a community that respects the land while using it.
Proud to represent this community in conversations like this and to work alongside leaders who understand the value of outdoor recreation.
What does access to public lands mean to you?
Great spending time with Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum (pictured here with UNLTD COO Josh Martelli) and Bureau of Land Management - Nevada Director Jon Raby at a roundtable focused on the future of public lands.
We had a productive and honest discussion alongside ranching leaders and fellow stakeholders from the outdoor recreation community, including mountain biking, hunting, and OHV groups.
What stood out most. Secretary Burgum went around the room and asked each of us directly what his administration can do to support our industries!
The answer was consistent across the board.
Preserve, defend, and expand access to public lands.
For us in off-road racing, that means protecting the trails, routes, and open desert landscapes that have been part of our sport for more than 60 years. It also means ensuring large-scale land use decisions, including energy development, are balanced in a way that does not cut off access to the recreation communities that depend on these spaces.
Public lands are not just land. They are heritage, industry, and a way of life for millions of Americans.
Thank you to Secretary Burgum and Director Raby for taking the time to listen and for supporting off-road racing and the broader outdoor recreation industry. We appreciate the dialogue and look forward to continuing the conversation.
