Miller’s Bomb Squad Racing brought home the win over the weekend
with four Polaris RZR drivers finishing in the top five of the Pro
UTV Forced Induction class. RZR Privateer Scott Trafton rounded out
the podium with a third-place finish, while RZR Factory Drivers
Brandon Schueler and Wayne Matlock finished fourth and fifth,
respectively.
In the Pro UTV NA Class, Wells had a rough start through some
deep whoops in the first section that threw his machine off course,
hitting a tree and sticking a broken branch through the right rear
tire sidewall. After performing a quick tire change, Wells was back
on course running fast. At mile marker 180, Wells got car sick but
was able to battle through it for 50 miles until handing over the
wheel to his father, Travis Wells, who brought the machine home for
the win. The victory places Wells first in the series points
standings. Wells was joined on the podium by RZR Privateer Joe
Bolton, who finished second.
“The SCORE Baja series is one of the most challenging
single-loop races in all of off-road racing, so to have our team
bring home two wins at this inaugural 400 event speaks volumes to
their hard work, preparation and ability to overcome the rugged
terrain,” said Kyle Duea, vice president of ORV Marketing for
Polaris Off Road. “We celebrate the wins, but know our teams
quickly move on and begin to prepare for the next race.”
To date, Polaris RZR Factory Racing has secured six wins and
eight podiums in the 2019 SCORE race series. RZR Factory Racing
will look to continue its winning ways October 5 and 6 at the LOORS
Golden State Off Road Nationals in San Bernardino, California.
