I've driven the entire length and width of Utah primarily on dirt roads. North to South we traveled approximately 400 miles with never hitting pavement. If we are talking a dirt 'road' and not combinations of roads both the Lincoln Highway and the Promentory RR grade run from the Wasatch Front in Utah well into Nevada continuously. I would imagine they both run over 500 miles but i've never followed them that far. Linking roads i've done almost 1000 miles with just a few dozen of pavement in utah alone.
If we are talking USA the Dalton HWY in AK is about 500 miles of dirt from Fairbanks north. Considering you have to go up and back it's 1000 miles. it is remote. it is desolate. it is covered in bugs and caribou. i recommend everyone do it. if you time it right (summer solstace) you can do the whole thing and never have the sun set. pretty cool but makes you loopy as hell to not sleep for 60 hours.
