(Press Release) Minneapolis (August 20, 2018)
- Coming off a commanding performance at the
50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500, Polaris
RZR® Factory Racing continued its success this weekend at
the longest off-road race in the U.S., Vegas to Reno. Jacob Carver
finished 2nd in the Pro UTV Turbo Class and 15-year-old
Seth Quintero took 2nd in his first-ever Vegas to Reno
Pro UTV NA class followed closely by Kaden Wells.
The Polaris
RZR® Factory Racing team battled through the dust, silt,
and ever-changing conditions of the Nevada desert this weekend
competing in the longest off road race in the U.S. Following
a nearly three month break from the 50th BFGoodrich
Tires SCORE Baja 500, the team came back fully prepared to take on
the nasty terrain long into the night. After traversing 535
miles, the dust settled for the Turbo Class and 1st and
2nd place were separated by less than two minutes.
"The Polaris RZR® Factory Racing team has proven itself
through a wide variety of side-by-side race formats this season, so
to have them push through the long and arduous course that requires
incredible endurance and determination is nothing short of
spectacular," said Matt Boone, RZR and
GENERAL marketing director at Polaris.
This weekend's race builds on an unparalleled 2018 season stacked
with incredible performances from the team, which includes top
podium finishes at every major race to date. The team has amassed
31 wins and 85 podiums over the course of the
2018 season.
The Polaris RZR Factory Racing team is gearing up to take
on the field at the SCORE Tijuana Desert Challenge on September 22
followed by the BITD Laughlin Desert Classic on October 13.
