RZR® Factory Racing concluded its 2018 race season with an
unprecedented, record-setting win total. In 2018, Polaris
RZR Factory Racing accumulated 50 wins and 118 total
podiums.
The team's 50 wins exceeded the dominate 43-win performance the
team generated in the 2016 and 2017 seasons combined. The momentum
the team brought in 2018 resulted in victories at largely every
race, including championships in the WORCS, SCORE, Lucas Oil Off
Road Racing and Best in the Desert racing series.
"It's been a fantastic year of racing with incredible results,"
said Kyle Duea, Vice President of ORV Marketing at Polaris
Industries. "The tremendous amount of dedication that went into
training and preparation by the racers and their teams was
incredible. We can't wait to keep the momentum going as we gear up
for a successful 2019 season."
