Personal life
As of 2013 Pedersen lives with his wife and their five children in the Provo, Utah area, and is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In 2016 Pedersen was involved in a fatal accident during the SCORE Baja 500 off-road race. Pederson lost control of his vehicle while navigating a turn and slid down a hill before colliding with spectators. One person died and two others were injured. He was briefly detained by Mexican authorities, but later released. Mexican officials said investigation was ongoing, but the event appeared to be an accident rather than a criminal act. Observers reported poor crowd control at the event, and also said spectators were not normally allowed at the site of the accident.
