Polaris RZR Factory Driver Mike Cafro debuted the all-new RZR
PRO XP, claiming the Pro Stock UTV class, posting a finishing time
of 23:22:14.937.
“We raced the Pro Stock UTV class to promote the new PRO XP,”
said Cafro. “The car was impressive. This RZR was box stock other
than some required race modifications.”
Polaris RZR Factory Drivers claimed four of the top five
finishes in the Pro UTV Forced Induction class. Justin Lambert
dominated in the desert, finishing at 21:00:42.687 to take first
place. Wayne Matlock crossed the line in second, 29 minutes after
Lambert, to earn the overall Pro Turbo UTV Championship. RZR
Factory Drivers Wes Miller and Brandon Schueler rounded out the top
five, posting finishing times of 22:54:56.038 and 23:23:17.956,
respectively.
Kristen Matlock added another victory to her 2019 race season as
she won the Pro UTV NA class with a 21:55:40.859 finishing time,
driving the entire race herself. Kaden Wells followed suit,
crossing the finish line in second place and claiming the overall
Pro UTV NA Championship title.
“Our team fought for the lead until the battle was over,
settling for second place in the race but still winning the
Championship,” said Wells. “We sang ‘We Are the Champions’ a lot
last night!”
“The perseverance and determination of the Polaris RZR Factory
Team continues to drive massive successes in some of the most
rugged races on the planet,” said Kyle Duea, vice president of
