Max Eddy Jr. to Race RZR Pro R in Class 1 at Baja 400

The Polaris Factory Racing team announced today that Max Eddy Jr., seasoned UTV racer and multi time Baja 1000 winner aboard a bike, will compete in Class 1 behind the wheel of his RZR Pro R Factory at the upcoming 5th SCORE Baja 400 on Saturday, September 14. Class 1 is an open-wheel, unlimited-class of racing known for its high-horsepower two-seat buggies. Engines must be normally aspirated, however since it is an open-class, all components are considered open unless restricted by SCORE International themselves. Polaris feels like this is a unique opportunity to test the capabilities of the RZR Pro R Factory against an entirely different level of racing vehicle, some of which are the fastest in the off-road racing world!

When the green flag waves for the fifth annual SCORE Baja 400 in Ensenada, Max Eddy Jr. will have the chance to compete with the leading racers. According to Polaris, the decision to enter Eddy’s RZR Pro R Factory into Class 1 came after a successful 18-month campaign racing SCORE series events, where the Pro R frequently achieved speeds and results comparable to higher-class vehicles. Moving from UTV Pro Open to Class 1 is a major step for the SXS manufacturer from Minnesota. Polaris aims to use its race program as a foundation for advancing its consumer vehicles. By pushing the limits of the Polaris Factory Racing machine, the company demonstrates its dedication to enhancing technology and performance through competitive endeavors.

While Eddy Jr. will line up alongside other Class 1 vehicles in Ensenada next month, the remaining Polaris Factory Racing team members will continue to race in the UTV Pro Open category, including teammates Cayden MacCachren, Brock Heger, and Craig Scanlon. MacCachren leads the team, holding the top spot in the SCORE championship points standings following wins at the San Felipe 250 and Baja 500. Brock Heger, the current UTV Pro Open champion, secured third place overall, with team principal and racer Craig Scanlon trailing closely in fourth.
