5 — Michael Bestgen from St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Michael has worked for Miller Chevrolet in Rogers, Minnesota, for 40 years. He’s married to Vicki and has four grown children and ten grandkids. He’s raced dogs for 27 years. “I start training in September, when the temperature gets under 50 degrees,” he says. “I use a side-by-side, until the snow comes. I usually run about six races a season in Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and of course, Wyoming. This will be my fourth time coming to this beautiful race. It started as a one-time thing, but it’s just such a great race that I want to keep coming back.”
