Sass claims 2022 Iditarod title for first time in the Last Great Race
Eureka musher holds off 5-time champion Dallas Seavey
NOME, Alaska (KTUU) - Brent Sass of Eureka finally got the monkey off his back Tuesday morning when he hit the finish line in Nome to win the 2022 Iditarod Sled Dog Race.
It’s the first Iditarod victory for Sass, a former winner of the Yukon Quest sled dog race that had been shut out of the win column in six previous tries in the Last Great Race.
Not anymore.
Sass passed under the burled arch on Nome’s Front Street at 5:38 a.m. Tuesday, led by a team of 11 dogs in harness. The veteran beat five-time and defending champion Dallas Seavey to the finish, depriving Seavey of a record-breaking sixth Iditarod title.
