Ducati North America Expands Race Rewards Contingency Program For the 30th Anniversary of Casey Folk’s Vegas to Reno “The Other Way”

Ducati Increases Support for Riders Competing in
America’s Longest Off-Road Race

Reno, NV, May 29th — As attention turns toward the legendary Casey Folks Vegas to Reno — the longest off-road race in the United States — Ducati North America is expanding its Ducati Race Rewards contingency program for the historic 30th Anniversary edition of the event.

The 2026 Casey Folks Vegas to Reno — “The Other Way” — will mark the first time in the race’s history that competitors will tackle the iconic Nevada desert course in reverse direction, creating an entirely new challenge for racers, teams, and manufacturers alike.

Designed to support racers across multiple levels of competition, Ducati’s expanding contingency program will offer meaningful payouts in several motorcycle classes during Vegas to Reno. Ducati will award up to $5,000 to the Open Pro class winner and will also pay contingency to podium finishers in the Open Pro, Open Expert, and Open Amateur motorcycle classes.

The expanded program reinforces Ducati’s growing commitment to off-road racing and the riders competing in one of the toughest endurance races in the world.

“To see Ducati continuing to invest more in desert racing and directly support riders at Vegas to Reno is a huge win for the sport,” said Matt Martelli, CEO of Unlimited Off-Road Racing. “This race has always been about pushing both racers and machines to the limit, and having manufacturers like Ducati step up with contingency and factory support adds even more value for competitors.”
