Steele Wins 2nd Consecutive SNORE Title

Cameron Steele, a long-time Yokohama Tire Corporation-sponsored off-road racer, captured his second consecutive SNORE (Southern Nevada Off-Road Enthusiasts) Unlimited Truck Class championship by winning the BMS Rage at the River season finale on December 12-13. Steele and his Desert Assassins team mate Josh Daniel both won their respective classes and finished 1-2 overall among all racers competing in the event.

Steele, driving the 800-horsepower Geiser Brothers Chevrolet truck mounted with specially-engineered 37-inch Yokohama Geolandar A/T-SR R tyres, earned the SNORE Unlimited Truck season title again by taking the race in 2:10.27, earning him first place in his class and second place overall. Daniel, also on Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S R tyres, won the Unlimited Class in 2:01.41.

Other Yokohama/Desert Assassin-sponsored drivers who won their classes were Adam Ashcraft in Class 10 (2:16.02) and Pat Dailey in Class 5/1600 (2:13.45). Both raced on Yokohama Super Digger tyres. Justin “Bean” Smith, also riding on Super Diggers, secured a second-place in a very competitive class 12 contest with a time of 2:20.50. That also earned Smith the Class 12 season title.

“Nice way to end the season,” said Steele, a two-time SCORE Person of the Year and TV commentator. “I’ve got to keep up with my wife,” referring to Yokohama-sponsored Heidi Steele, who recently won the Baja 1000 and her second consecutive SCORE championship.
