The lead team of Marc McKenna and Dusty VanMeter earned $10,000 for reaching Nome first Tuesday afternoon, and they will be the first to leave Nome when the race officially restarts today at 8 a.m.
Less than three minutes behind McKenna and VanMeter will be second-place team Mike Morgan and Chris Olds, followed by Todd Minnick and Nick Olstad about eight minutes later. After the top five teams have left Nome there will be a 30-minute break before the sixth-place team takes off.
