What they’re saying

“Today my Polaris RZR Pro R Factory performed flawlessly, and it feels amazing to go back-to-back at San Felipe. Starting eighth reminded me of something my dad always told me, 'sometimes slower is faster.' I stayed patient, picked my lines, and trusted the car. I'm also pumped to see Joe get his first podium with the team.”

— Brock Heger, Winning Driver

“We couldn't be prouder of this team and the way they continue to execute at the highest level. Results like this don't happen by chance, every detail matters, from prep in the shop to execution on race day. To come away with a 1-2-3 finish, see Joe earn his first podium, and have Dallas step in and finish third in his first race with the RZR Pro R Factory speaks volumes about the depth of this program and the people behind it.”

— Alex Scheuerell, Director of Off-Road Motorsports, Polaris
