Oh yes - it also includes his dad, Mitch Seavey, who finished a relatively close second to Dallas this morning. And Mitch is in second place out of Safety, the final checkpoint, and enjoying a healthy lead over his nearest rival, Aaron Burmeister.
Combined with his father's win in 2013, Dallas's win Wednesday gave the Seavey family title to victories in four straight Iditarods.
He gave full credit to the dogs.
"As long as you take care of the dog team and make good decisions, good things will happen,'' he said. "We loved every second of it.''
