Polaris RZR Factory Racing secured victories across eight UTV classes over the weekend. At the UTV World Championship, Polaris RZR Factory Racing picked up class sweeps in both youth races along with wins in the production 1000 (class sweep), 900, and 700/800 short course classes. On the desert racing side, wins were also added to the total in the Production 1000 and Sportsman classes. To round out the weekend RZR added two more wins in San Felipe at the SCORE season opener in both the Turbo and Production (class sweep) races.

“Securing our second win in a row coming out of the Mint 400 is a huge accomplishment for us and Polaris,” said Kristen Matlock, Polaris RZR Factory Racing athlete. “Being a part of a team that was able to capture eight UTV class wins this race weekend is very special and proves why RZR is the most dominant force in the industry.”

“Hats off again to the incredible performances from everyone involved at Polaris and all of our Polaris RZR Factory Racing team members,” said Matt Boone, RZR and GENERAL Marketing Director at Polaris. “Each day, we pride ourselves on building a winning culture and team, and these victories are a testament to the team’s dedication and unrelenting commitment to excellence.”

Saturday’s victories continue the Polaris RZR Factory Racing team’s incredible victory streak that includes top podium finishes at every major race to date. This weekend’s 23 podiums and four class sweeps add to the team’s 23 wins and 60 podiums on the young 2018 season.
