Lancy Mackey leaving Nulato

Lance Mackey is still at the head of the Iditarod pack, but Jeff King has been closing in fast. At the checkpoint of Kaltag, Lance Mackey stayed only 7 minutes, with Jeff King hot on his tail, only an hour behind.

With a full team of dogs, it seems likely that King will be able to pass Mackey in the home stretch, upsetting his hopes of a 4-peat.
