We came to Vegas to watch the Mint… and somehow ended up racing it. 😂

A few days ago we made a last minute decision to head to The Mint 400 just to spectate, network, and take in the experience. We started texting around to see who was in town, and then our buddy Cole Brandt asked a simple question:

“Does Chris want to navigate for me?”

So… now Chris is racing 200 miles tomorrow. 😅

First time desert racing.
Driver: Cole Brandt
Co-driver: Chris Van Den Elzen
Car: #1632 1/2 1600
Race Day: 3/6/2026

Safe to say we did NOT expect this when we left home.

We’re as surprised as you are. 🤷‍♂️🏁

Well, will you be mine? 🫶💜😆

After Chris made the big move to sell his truck, he knew everyone would be wondering what was next for VDE Racing. As you can tell from the video… he isn’t exactly satisfied with the scent of 2nd place.
