Mitch Seavey became the oldest winner in the history of the 1,000-mile Iditarod sled dog race.

He's 53. Another triumph for the geezers in sports.

He completed the race in 9 days, 7 hours and 21 minutes — roughly the time it takes sometimes to get from Little Rock to Memphis via I-40.

His son, Donald Seavey, 25, became the youngest winner last year.

It's a battle for top dog in that household.

As part of his winnings, the elder Seavey won 50,000 and a Dodge Ram truck.

We'd say his dog team was already "ram tough."
