Casey Currie and Sean Berriman win Dakar 2020 in the SSV category with their Motul-sponsored Monster Energy Can-Am Maverick prepared by South Racing.
U.S. drivers Casey Currie and Sean Berriman took their Motul-sponsored Monster Energy Can-Am Maverick prepared by South Racing to win the SSV category of the Dakar on only Currie’s second outing.
On the same day, American Ricky Brabec won the motorcycle class, making it a great day for the USA in Saudi Arabia.
“Two Americans on top!” exclaimed Currie after the race. “I’m blown away, man! Sean and my team did a phenomenal job. The car ran great all the time. It’s just an epic experience, and I’ll never forget it, for sure. This is my most emotional win ever. The amount of pressure that was on me was incredible. I love this rally! We’re coming back next year to defend our title. I’m very stoked for Ricky Brabec, he deserves it more than I do.”
