“The I-500 is definitely the most popular race on our schedule,” said USCC President Pat Mach. “Our entries go up every year and we’re anticipating well over 100 riders this year.” The three-day, 500 mile race is a huge test of rider skill and stamina, machine setup and the ability of the crew to keep its rider in

the race. Also, a win in the I-500 not only puts the rider’s name in the history books, it also puts $10,000 in cash in their pockets.

“Seven Clans Casino has been a huge supporter of this event and we can’t thank them enough for hosting the race every year,” said Mach. “I think the best moment is when the casino presents the winning rider the $10,000 in cash. You can’t beat that.”
