It’s Now or Never…

According to Iditarod Insider Analyst Bruce Lee, the time is now for those teams who want to win this race to narrow the huge gap that two time Iditarod Champion Lance Mackey has created since he left Takotna at 4 am March 11th.  Right now, Sebastian Schnuelle, Aaron Burmeister, Hugh Neff,  and Mitch Seavey round up the top five mushers in this race. All five know that Lance Mackey will be working as hard as he can to create an even larger gap.
