Dallas wins 4th Iditarod....thats 3 in a Row and a Total of 4!

Well, he did it again....Dallas has won yet another Iditarod! 

He has now joined an elite group of Mushers who are 4 time Champs....Mackey, Buser, King, Butcher  and now Dallas.  Watch out 5 time Champ Rick Swenson!!!!

He has also joined another elite group of mushers as a "3 in a Row" Iditarod Champ....Butcher (1986, 87, 88), Swingley (1999, 2000, 2001) and now Dallas (2014, 2015, 2016).  Watch out 4 in a Row Iditarod legend Lance Mackey!  When Mackey did that in 2007 - 2019 we all thought we would never see it again. I will admit I want Lance's record to stand....hey Dallas....maybe you can take a year off!   

Oh...and he broke the speed record...he did this race in 8 Days, 11 Hours, 20 minutes and 16 seconds....another record!  

Wow...if Dallas wins next year he will not only match Lance's 4 time back to back feat, but will also match Rick Swensons 5 time Champ status!  All in one year!!  BUT that's a whole year away....there still is a race out there today!! 

Aliy is presently at mile 925
Wade Marrs at mile 906

Nome is at mile 975.

Go Aliy and the Red Team....with CHEMO!!!
