LAS VEGAS - Among Nevada's barren desert is a town that could be considered Nevada's secret little gem. Located in southeastern Nevada, the quiet town of Caliente, Nevada is the only incorporated community in Lincoln County. Settled in the1860's and coined with the name Caliente in 1901, this small community was built upon the railroad and mining industries in the early days.

This past weekend, one of off road racing's winningest champions of all time, Rob MacCachren, returned to Caliente, Nevada for the annual SNORE Caliente 250 desert race. "The Caliente 250 has long been a favorite race of mine. The mountains, streams and beautiful scenery are second to none for an off road race," commented the Las Vegas off road racing champion.

MacCachren unleashed his wicked desert domination on a full field of 1600 racers as he drove to victory in his third SNORE race in a row, with a winning time of 5:28:09. In fact, MacCachren's overall time was only 11 minutes and 30 seconds off the overall winner of the race who raced a Class 1 Unlimited car.

The Rockstar Energy Racing team owner took possession of his AlumiCraft-built single seat 1600 car just before the start of the 2009 racing season and started from the back of the field in the season opening race, The Battle at Primm. Over the two-day race, MacCachren soared through a stacked field before being crowned the 1600 champ.

At this year's historic MINT 400, MacCachren reigned as the 1600 winner, beating the other 1600 racers and the majority of the entire field finishing 7th OVERALL. With his 80-horsepower AlumiCraft car, the champion desert racer outclassed the bulk of the unlimited trucks and buggies, many that sport over 700 horsepower power plants.

The Caliente 250 was no different, as a slew of 1600 racers all wanted a piece of MacCachren's 1600 race action in hoping to beat him at the game he's nearly perfected. While in the midst of racing multiple off road series among three different racing disciplines, the 44-year old Rockstar Energy Drink athlete overcame his hectic day-to-day racing schedule and silenced the competition with nothing more than pure talent captivating the attention of off road race fans everywhere.

The Rockstar Energy Racing 1600 car was fast all day long as MacCachren weaved a magical web of desert domination through the Caliente, Nevada countryside. Whether he was submarining through the deep streams or blasting up the steep silt-filled mountain trails, his line ultimately was the winning line.

"AlumiCraft builds a great car, FAT Performance gave us an awesome engine and the four corners of this car are supported by FOX Racing Shox and BFGoodrich Tires. Rockstar Energy Drink keeps me focused on being fast and Mastercraft Seats let me abuse my body to the extreme. Everything was near perfect today and we had another solid race. I really like the Caliente area it's always been one of my favorite races. SNORE puts on a great series and we're very happy to be involved with SNORE this season," said a smiling MacCachren.

MacCachren is in the midst of beginning his 2009 short course racing season as the 2009 TORC Series opener kicks off on May 15 at Texas Motor Speedway. The race action doesn't stop for the off road racing champion as he races two short course races in May and the following weekend he heads to Mexico's Baja Peninsula for the SCORE Baja 500 where he is slated to race the #3 Rockstar Energy Drink/Riviera Racing Trophy Truck.
