FOCUS PSB UTV-Sport www.PowersportsBusiness.com Powersports Business • July 11, 2016 • 35 Polaris factory racers endured the heat and a brutal 477-mile Baja 500 course to go 1-2 in the Pro UTV FI and third in the Pro UTV classes. A total of 14 UTVs lined up for the Pro UTV FI class, with 10 finishing. Polaris fac- tory racer Wayne Matlock in his No. 2971 Terrabit Racing/Jimco Polaris RZR XP Turbo took the checkered flag and the overall. The win continued Matlock's perfect, history- making streak in SCORE, four starts with four wins. Matlock's strategy of running with the pace early and running hard for the last 100 miles if the race was tight worked flaw- lessly. Hindered by a bottleneck, he was able to break free and get the lead at mile 340 when he beat the leader out of the pits and ran hard to the finish. Finishing 10 minutes behind him was Polaris ractory racer Justin Lambert in the No. 2918 Cognito Motors- ports Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS. In the Pro UTV class, there were four finish- ers out of 14 starters, all Polaris RZRs, with Polaris factory racer and Matlock's wife, Kristen Matlock, taking third. It was her first Baja 500 as a driver. The next SCORE race is the Rosarito Beach Desert Challenge at Rosarito Beach, Baja Cali- fornia, Mexico, on Sept. 14-18.
