The dune buggy driven by off road legend Ivan Stewart sits parked on Fremont Street as part of the Mint 400 Wednesday, March 7, 2018, in Las Vegas. Stewart was scheduled to co-drive the 1973 Ensenada 300 in the Class 2 buggy with Bill Hrynko, but prior to the race, Hrynko fell off a ladder and broke his leg. Unprecedented at the time, Stewart decided to drive the race solo and ended up winning. CREDIT: Sam Morris/Las Vegas News BureauPhoto by: Sam Morris / Las Vegas News Bureau
