On Saturday December 3, 2011 Merritt started the Transwest Ford Henderson 250 in Jean NV with his son Randy Merritt Jr. riding in the Navigator seat. The side by side start was exciting as Merritt started the race knowing there was no pressure on him. Merritt entered the weekend securely in second for the 2011 BITD Class 8100 points championship. Randy Merritt took the lead with the whole shot off the start, but electronic issues limited the Mongo Racing Ford F-150 to about 90 percent power for most of the first lap. After the first 80 mile lap Merritt was only 4 minutes behind the leader in second place. On the second lap Merritt was able to get full power back and make up time on the leader, but luck on this day was not with Merritt and Mongo Racing. Merritt had closed with in 1 minute of the leader when the Mongo Racing Ford F-150 came to a sudden stop from a broken drive shaft. Merritt and Merritt Jr. fixed the truck on the course and crossed the finish line of the Transwest Ford Henderson 250 in Jean NV in second place. This marks the 9th season Merritt has finished the BITD Class 8100 season points in the top 3.
