Conner McMullen delivered a dominant performance at the 2026 Laughlin Desert Classic, capturing two victories behind the wheel of Geiser-built race trucks during the American Off-Road Racing Championship (AORC) season finale. Pulling double duty throughout the weekend, McMullen claimed the Unlimited Truck SPEC victory in his #240 truck while also stepping into the #18 Rubik Racing Unlimited Truck 2WD entry for Nic Whetstone. McMullen was unstoppable in both divisions, ultimately securing the overall Unlimited Truck victory for Rubik Racing and clinching the Unlimited Truck 2WD season championship on Whetstone's behalf.

McMullen's performance highlighted an impressive weekend for Geiser-built machinery, with both trucks proving their speed and capability across the demanding Laughlin course. In the #18 Rubik Racing truck, McMullen was the only Unlimited Truck competitor to complete the weekend's 10 laps in under two hours, finishing with a combined time of 1:57:00.938. His victory capped off an exciting conclusion to the inaugural AORC season, which also saw Tracy Graf, Phil Blurton, and Ciaran Naran secure championship titles in their respective divisions.
