Meet Team Petit Racing Nicolas Petit
Nicolas will be training Rookie Musher Lacy Kuehl from Jan 15th onward to race day Feb 25th for the Jr Iditarod. We have 100% no doubt that Nic is the man for the Jurney.
This last Summer, while racing Legend cars in #Alaska. Nicolas Petit and Scott Janssen, "The Mushin' Mortician," offered Lacy a ride in the Jr Iditarod with Team Petit. We are very grateful to have come across such extraordinary people and taken on the challenge they presented, Lacy. #ChallengeAccepted

“My dogs and I enjoy showing off their amazing abilities while enjoying the wonders of the Iditarod Trail.” Say's Nic
Nicolas Petit always loved animals. He moved to New Mexico in 1992, where he finished high school, and then to Alaska because he “loved snow.” He adopted “Ugly,” a gorgeous Alaskan Mutt, put a harness on him, and the adventure began. He traveled all over the state and began racing while working for Jim Lanier.
Today Nicolas Petit works with Scott Janssen, "The Mushin' Mortician," who also has raced many times in the Iditarod.
