Lance Mackey is expected to arrive in Nome at noon AK time. This will be his 3rd Championship in a row and has only been achieved 2 other times. He will have won seven 1,000 mile races in the past 5 years. This is a feat that has never been done.  

Schnuelle and Baker are in White Mountain. Burmeister is close behind. All Musher's need to take an 8 hr rest there.  

The buzz is about Lance Mackey and his 3-peat but the unique story is how did Dallas Seavey, age 22, end up in 6th place so far!

Mitch and Dallas are 25 miles from White Mountain and within a mile of each other. Father and Son will probably come into Nome together in 5th and 6th place. This will be the story other than Lance. 

Dallas was the first of 15 Musher's to break out, leave Shaktoolik and head into a ground blizzard. Winds were 40 mph and wind chill was reported at -60 to 70 below zero. Dallas knows you need to be tough to compete in this race. Other than Lance and Mitch he has beaten every world champion.

Once Lance arrives I will be calling in a news release. I will also be doing a live report at 3:30 pm AK time, 6:30 pm WI time, on AM 1570 the Score in Appleton - please tune in.

This will be a very exciting day and when the Seavey men arrive we will be there with the family for this historic event.
