The Wahoo’s involvement in the upcoming “Duel in the Desert” is the company’s first foray with the TORC series. With deep roots in action sports, Wahoo’s brings a passionate community that is a perfect match for the action-packed world of short-course, off-road racing.

We believe they’ll appreciate the opportunity to experience 900-horsepower TORC Trucks ripping up a revitalized track at Primm Valley Off Road Raceway.”
Beginning March 1, all Wahoo’s Fish Taco locations in Southern California and Nevada will offer tickets to the event simply with the purchase of a Monster Energy drink. Presentation of both the can for recycling and the ticket will gain free entry into the event.

Fans can enter at the counter of all participating Wahoo’s locations.
