Most guys out there, especially the gear-head type, have a few fundamental things that appeal to them. Here at Truckblog we try to cater to those needs as much as possible with our continuous coverage of the truck industry and a few other novel ideas such as cool feature trucks, truck related articles and several hot models splashed in here and there. Heck, if we could pour you a beer we would!

Anyway, the point is that one of the things gear heads love, is racing. Now, most of our fans are pretty excited about NASCAR, and who can blame them but NASCAR's truck series is exactly televised very often (unless you subscribe to the speed channel) and if it is televised, you can be sure it will be used to fill some unallocated spot between 2 and 6am. With that, we turn our attention to the most grueling challenge for a truck on the face of the planet, off-road desert truck racing.

Now, some can say that rock-crawling and mud-bogging is much harder on the truck, and to a degree that's certainly true, but to have a truck AND driver that can handle several brutal hours, driving in excess of 100+ miles an hour, over bumpy & dusty terrain in extreme temperatures that would make you sweat just thinking about, in our books makes desert racing the toughest off-road challenge known to man and machine.


Don't believe me? Watch this video. Keep an eye on the Will Higman's head in the mirror while you watch the terrain
