As the editorial voice of Apex Racing, our mandate is clear and focused: to deliver authoritative and technically precise coverage of desert racing and off-road truck competition. This includes the SCORE International and Best in the Desert race circuits, King of the Hammers, NORRA events, trophy truck and UTV builds, off-road vehicle reviews, driver profiles, and the intricate engineering behind long-travel suspension, bypass shocks, and robust drivetrains.

Our readers, serious desert racing enthusiasts and industry insiders, expect content that delves deep into the nuances of Baja 1000 strategies, the brutal demands of the Mint 400, or the latest advancements in chassis design for a 900-horsepower Trophy Truck.

Therefore, while we acknowledge Pato O'Ward's professional career in other motorsport disciplines, his recent outing at Barber Motorsports Park, a natural terrain road course, does not align with Apex Racing's editorial scope. Our commitment remains steadfast to the dust, rocks, and wide-open desert of off-road racing. We will continue to bring you unparalleled coverage of the vehicles, the teams, and the unforgiving terrain that define our sport.
