The Murray brothers have enjoyed plenty of success so far in the 2014 SCORE series, but with 28 consecutive BITD finishes headed in the 2014 Vegas to Reno, there was still a lot left to prove. “We go into every race aiming for the win,” says Derek Murray, “but after starting mid-pack and fighting through hours and hours of dust we’re happy with a podium.”

Derek started off in the driver’s seat as team headed out of Vegas, 18 cars behind the leader. By the time Derek handed off to Jason, he had cut through the field all the way up to 7th place. Jason was comfortable behind the wheel in his first BITD race since returning from injury. He managed to pick off a few more spots and worked his way into 4th before Derek took over for the final stretch. Derek proved once again that Team Murray is most dangerous in the final stages of the race as he knocked off one more car on the way to claiming the last podium spot. This was the fourth podium finish in five Vegas to Reno races for Team Murray.

Derek and Jason both battled through the pack and put together a clean and efficient race.

All in all Vegas to Reno was a pretty smooth race for the Murray boys in the #1917. “The Can-Am ran clean, we didn’t really have any problems,” Derek continued. “We finished before dark so that wasn’t an issue, but we did put our Lazer Star Lights to use when passing bikes and quads. With the amount of dust that was in the air it was very important that we could not only see, but be seen by the other racers.”
