Bryce MENZIES SLATED for Double Duty at Best in the Desert’s ‘BILEK 300’ Next Week in Class 10 and Jesse Jones Trophy Truck

PRESS RELEASE:

Las Vegas, Nevada, (September 18, 2009) Bryce Menzies, the Las Vegas off road racing phenom, is slated for DOUBLE DUTY in next weekend’s Best in the Desert BILEK 300 Desert race to be held in the desert surrounding Mesquite, Nevada. This event features some of the most beautiful terrain in all of Nevada, as man and machine will be put to the test over 321-miles of daunting Nevada desert.

The 22-year old off road racer will pilot both the Menzies Motorsports single-seat Class 10 car before switching and racing the second half of the race in the 800 horsepower Geiser Brothers built Trophy Truck owned and raced by Jesse Jones.

Bryce Menzies has had an incredible start in his desert racing career after a grand victory at this year’s longest race in the United States, Best in the Desert’s Vegas to Reno 1000-mile race. Bryce shared time behind the wheel of the Menzies Motorsports single-seat Class 10 racecar with Larry Job and earned the victory after 3-days of incredible challenges that faced the toughest off road desert racers in America.

“The Vegas to Reno race certainly helped guide Bryce to the next level. Racing day-to-day was good for the entire team and we’ve come a long way. Bryce really shined and had three perfect days of racing. I’m very proud to see him learn the important aspects of desert racing each and every race. Transitioning into a trophy truck is the next level and we’re moving that way,” said a smiling Steve Menzies.

Heading into the Best in the Desert’s BILEK 300 race, the young off road racer will join one of desert racing’s most veteran off road racers, Arizona’s Jesse Jones. It was only a few years ago that Jones captivated the entire world of off road racing when he was crowned the Best in the Desert Trophy Truck Champion.

Jesse Jones has long been a top contender in any race he’s entered. With the debut of his new Geiser Brothers built Trophy Truck, Jones is poised to climb back into the winner’s circle. Rick Geiser and his Geiser Brothers race crew will provide support for the combined Jones/Menzies race effort. Rick explained, “This might just be a perfect match for both Menzies and Jesse. Geiser Brothers is really happy to put these two teams together and I can’t wait to see what they can do in the dirt.”

In addition to racing in the desert, both Bryce Menzies and Jesse Jones have been racing in the Lucas Oil Off Road Series (short course) both racing in the Unlimited Pro 2 class.

Jesse explained, “Joining forces with Menzies Motorsports team is a great move for our team. I’m stoked that Geiser, Menzies and I could put something together for this race and hopefully turn it into something for the future. I’ve watched Bryce race and he’s definitely talented. I’m looking forward to putting this truck in the winner’s circle again.”

Menzies Motorsports brings with them to the Best in the Desert BILEK 300 race a host of sponsors, which continue to support them in both desert racing and short course racing. They include AHERN Rentals, BFGoodrich Tires, FOX Racing Shox, KMC Wheels, KARTEK and Super Clean.
