Iditarod Update - Tuesday March 17


Dallas Seavey in the driver’s seat for winning his third Iditarod in four years – only interrupted by his father, Mitch, winning in 2013.

Dallas is approaching White Mountain, where all teams must take a mandatory 8 hour rest before the final 88 miles to Nome. His lead over his father Mitch, Aaron Burmeister, Jessie Royer, and Aliy Zirkle appears unstoppable. Stranger things have happened, however, as the weather on the coast is never certain.

Jason Campeau appears to have a lock on Rookie of the Year.

The back of the pack are all out of Huslia.

Eight teams are out of the race.

At 2:00 ET, here are the updated standings, based upon the Official Standings and my own analysis of the GPS trackers, so some mileage may vary.
