Best In The Desert’s Vegas to Reno Race Coverage

December 5, 2009 – Sopwith Motorsports today confirmed that its popular off-road desert racing show, Bully Dog Best in the Desert TV, will premier exclusive television coverage of this year’s Vegas to Reno race on Monday, December 7 on The Outdoor Channel. The 2009 Vegas to Reno event, nicknamed "The Long Way”, is the longest off-road race on American soil, chewing up more than 1,000 miles of the Nevada desert.

Bully Dog Best in the Desert TV is off-road desert racing’s most widely televised, full-season television series, offering an up-close-and-personal view of the sport by profiling several race teams during each 30-minute documentary-style episode. The Vegas to Reno episode will air three times next week on The Outdoor Channel, including prime time airings on the west coast.

Additional episodes of Bully Dog Best in the Desert TV will air in December on both Fox Sports Network and the America One Sports Network, a syndicated broadcast service. Check your local listings for air dates and times. Visit http://www.americaone.com/watch/ to find affiliate stations.
