Brent Sass

Teams are spread among three different checkpoints as the second day of the Iditarod mushing is figured. Brent Sass, owner and founder of Wild and Free Mushing, is at the Point d’Appui of the race. Half the dog sleds were ahead of him and half were behind when he checked in at Finger Lake.

Sass majored in geography at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and started racing and training huskies about seven years ago. He began racing in 2006 and was Rooke of the Year for the 2012 Iditarod. Ahead of him, Martin Buser still leads the race, and James Volek is bringing up the dog’s tail.
