Brent Sass is poised to win this year’s Iditarod. It’s something he’s wanted for years. “That I’m here in White Mountain, as the number one musher at this point, with one more run left to go in the Iditarod,” he says. “It’s, yeah, it’s kind of a dream.”
Brent Sass and his 12 dogs raced into White Mountain at 11:05 a.m. Monday in first place. It’s something he’s wanted for years.
Sass and his 12 dogs raced into White Mountain at 11:05 a.m. They have just 77 miles to the finish line in Nome. And Sass’s closest competition is more than two hours behind: five-time Iditarod champion Dallas Seavey.All teams must stop in White Mountain for eight hours before the final push to the finish.
Sass trains out of a remote homestead in Eureka, outside of Fairbanks. While he’s won the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest three times, the highest he’s placed in the Iditarod — before this year — was third in 2021.Sass has maintained control of this year’s Iditarod since just before the halfway point. He passed Seavey on the trail from Ophir to Cripple, taking over the lead and never giving it up.
“Eight hours is plenty of time to lay down,” he said. “But, I don’t know, I’m kind of speechless to be honest.”“It’s all about the dogs,” he said. “Super proud of the dog team. I mean, everyone says that or whatever, but I feel like I’ve put a lot of energy into this team and they’ve poured it all out in the field.”
