Owlpine Group is proud to welcome Seth Quintero to its talent portfolio, bringing one of American motorsport’s fastest-rising stars into the portfolio.

Quintero’s path to the top has been quick. Raised in San Marcos, California. Capturing his first Junior UTV World Championship at just eleven years old. He turned professional in 2018 with backing from Red Bull, and by 2019 had claimed the Best in the Desert UTV Pro championship with six event wins, including the Mint 400. His rise to the sport’s biggest stage came fast: in 2021, at just 18, he became the youngest stage winner in Dakar Rally history, and the following year he shattered the record books entirely, taking 12 stage victories at the 2022 Dakar, the most ever recorded in a single running of the event. He has since stepped up to Toyota Gazoo Racing’s factory program in the Ultimate class, earning his first Dakar podium in 2023 and continuing to post stage wins into the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

Quintero’s rise has tracked with the growing American audience for rally raid and desert racing, a sport still building its following in the U.S. compared to its stature across Europe and the Middle East. As one of the most recognisable American names in the World Rally-Raid Championship, he brings a rare opportunity to grow the sport’s visibility stateside while continuing to compete at its highest level.

“Seth is one of the most exciting prospects in Rally Raid,” says Matthew Macalpine, founder of Owlpine Group. “We have experience across the W2RC on both two and four wheels, and Seth sits right at the center of the next generation of talent in this space. He set a Dakar record before most drivers get a factory seat, and he did it representing the United States in a sport where American names at the top are still rare. We’re looking forward to supporting his commercial career, connecting him with the right partners, and helping build his platform to inspire the next wave of American off-road racers.”

Owlpine Group will work alongside Seth to manage his career strategy, grow his commercial partnerships, and pursue new brand relationships as his profile continues to rise. Seth Quintero is still early in what looks like a defining career in American motors
