RZR Factory Racers held nothing back and raced with agility and
speed at SCORE’s first race of the year. In an extremely rare and
incredible accomplishment, Matlock took the overall win in her RZR
XP 1000 after beating all of the Turbo class competitors, earning
her second SCORE win in a row following her win at the BAJA 1000
this past November. Matlock commanded the race early on and never
looked back. As she was first on the road in class, she began to
move through the field of Turbo UTV entries and within 50 miles
from the finish line, she was able to move into the lead and cross
the finish line first physically and overall on time.
RZR Racer Mike Cafro, who won the Stock class at the 2019 BAJA
1000, took the Pro Stock class win this weekend. His team raced in
both the Pro Stock and Pro Turbo classes and Cafro was able to
secure the win in his brand new RZR Turbo S four-seater in the Pro
Stock category. Following his previous win at the BAJA 1000, this
also marks Cafro’s second win in a row in the SCORE series.
“It’s exciting to see what our team is capable of and how much
talent comes from each driver spanning across multiple classes,”
said Brett Carpenter, Team RZR Race Manager, Polaris. “It’s no
doubt we’re on the right path to ending this year strong, from
Kristen Matlock making an iconic statement in the Pro NA class to
Mike Cafro continuing to have success in the Stock category. It’s
great to build momentum as we approach the conclusion of the
season.”
In addition to a successful weekend in racing, Kristen Matlock
was also just announced as an inaugural member of Polaris’ new
