Though Polaris Off Road has had a longstanding presence at the race, the RZR Factory Racing team marked a historic moment as it made its debut at the prestigious Mint 400, entering the legendary event for the first time.

Brock Heger once again delivered a commanding performance, not only dominating the UTV Pro Open class but also outpacing the entire field in the Limited race, securing the overall win among all four-wheeled vehicles. Continuing his winning streak— from Baja to Dakar to King of the Hammers— Heger once again proved why he is one of the most formidable competitors in off-road racing right now.

Further showcasing Polaris’ dominance, RZR Racing drivers swept the top ten positions in the UTV Pro Open class and claimed four of the top overall spots in the Limited race. Heger’ s teammate Cayden MacCachren delivered an impressive second-place finish, followed by Polaris-supported racer Mitch Guthrie in third and fellow RZR Factory Racing driver Max Eddy Jr. in fourth. The top four drivers all piloted RZR Pro R Factory machines, the same Polaris-engineered, race-ready platform made available for purchase at the end of January.

As has been the case in his previous races, Heger and co-driver Justin Wilson wasted no time pushing the RZR Pro R Factory to the front of the pack, taking the lead early in the first 95−mile lap of the four-lap competition. Heger was unstoppable, setting an incredible pace up front, even clocking a mind-blowing 118 mph across the dry lakebed portion of the course.

Once out front, he continued to meticulously navigate the rugged Nevada desert, executing a flawless drive and leading wireto-wire to the checkered flag. He crossed the finish line over seven minutes ahead of second place, further solidifying his dominance.

“ The past few months have been pretty wild, so adding a Mint 400 win to the list is absolutely incredible,” says Heger.“ Today went about as smoothly as it gets. The

track was brutal, but we were able to get out front early and run without any issues. I can’ t thank the Polaris team enough for building such an incredible machine— the RZR Pro R Factory continues to blow my mind every race. The power and control it delivers make tackling any terrain feel effortless. I also want to thank the entire SCi crew— our mechanics and support staff put in so much work to make this possible.

Overall, it was a great day for Polaris, locking down the top ten in class.”

“ It was another incredible day for Polaris and the RZR Pro R platform. At this point, five back-to-back victories with Brock almost feels surreal,” says Alex Scheuerell, RZR Factory Racing technical director.“ This is a true testament to Brock’ s skill and racing prowess, but also to the unmatched performance and capability of the RZR Pro R. Securing all top 10 positions in class and sweeping the top four overall spots, proves that this platform is built to dominate any terrain. It’ s a reflection of the relentless dedication from our entire team and the innovation behind Polaris engineering. We’ re looking forward to carrying this momentum into San Felipe next month.”

The RZR Factory Racing team has little time to rest as they shift focus to the 2025 SCORE season kickoff at the San Felipe 250, taking place April 2−6.
