Jim Beaver Race Feature

Jim Beaver 2021 Season Launch

Off-road racing is a family sport and no one exemplifies that more than Jim Beaver. A second-generation off-road racer Jim grew up playing and racing in the desert in Parker, Arizona following in the footsteps of his Father off-road champion and pioneer Dan Beaver. In fact, his grandfather Marion help put together the first-ever off-road race in Parker, The Dam 500 in 1971 with promoter Mickey Thompson establishing Parker as one of the cornerstones of off-road racing. Some 49 years later off-road racing continues to thrive in Parker in part because of the effort Jim’s father Dan has put in as mayor.
