Podium Finish For Honda Baja Ridgeline in Nevada

The Honda Off-Road Racing Team took on the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, this weekend, with the Honda Baja Ridgeline truck driven by Ethan Ebert finishing third in the Unlimited Truck category – the first podium finish for Honda since moving up to the premier division of off-road racing full time for the 2024 season.

After qualifying 12th, Ebert and navigator Gatlan Haddon took the Baja Ridgeline on a nearly flawless run through four laps of the 95.5-mile course, run near the Nevada-California border south of Las Vegas to secure their first podium result of 2024. Running fifth as the race entered its final stages, Ebert and Haddon took advantage of the misfortune of others to move into third, then survived a last-lap double flat incident with a quick tire change to secure their podium result with a total time of 7:41:46.127 for the race.

The impressive result was the second race for the latest generation Honda Baja Ridgeline in its new Honda Racing Corporation USA colors, and the third for the latest-generation Ridgeline, which debuted late last season to compete in the top category for unlimited race trucks.
