Dallas Seavey wins Iditarod, matches most wins by a musher
Fox News
Seavey was previously unable to race due to an allegation of doping his dogs, but he has since been cleared of any wrongdoing.
It was the fifth title for Seavey, who matched the five-win threshold that only one other musher has accomplished. Rick Swenson won his five titles between 1977 and 1991. "It's a big deal," Seavey said at the finish line after a race official checked to make sure his sled was complete with a sleeping bag, axe, dog booties and other mandatory gear. His finish was televised statewide. Seavey said he didn't allow himself to think about a fifth win while on the trail because he didn't want to jinx it.More Related News
