Polaris Factory Racing Dominates Baja 1000 and Clinches 2024 UTV Pro Open Title

A massive congratulations to Polaris Factory Racing for an incredible performance at the 2024 Baja 1000! Brock Heger delivered a groundbreaking solo run in his Polaris RZR Pro R Factory, not just dominating the UTV field but achieving an unprecedented seventh-place finish overall. This marks the highest finish by a UTV in Baja 1000 history since the class was introduced in 2007, placing Heger ahead of many elite Trophy Trucks in one of the toughest races on the planet.

This historic win also secured Heger’s first Baja 1000 victory and locked in his second consecutive SCORE UTV Pro Open Class Series Championship. Polaris Factory Racing capped off an undefeated 2024 SCORE season, proving once again that the RZR Pro R is a game-changer in off-road racing.

A Solo Effort That Made History

Heger took on the grueling 864-mile course entirely on his own, leading nearly every mile of the race. Starting strong near Ensenada, he quickly took the lead, showcasing the unmatched performance and reliability of the Polaris RZR Pro R Factory. Despite the brutal terrain and fierce competition, Heger held his ground, crossing the finish line with a commanding 45-minute lead over his nearest competitor.

Securing seventh overall wasn’t just impressive—it was historic. Competing head-to-head with Trophy Trucks and other elite vehicles, Heger proved that a UTV can not only compete but also thrive at the highest levels of off-road racing.

Polaris: A Legacy of Breaking Barriers

Polaris Factory Racing’s third consecutive Baja 1000 victory underscores the engineering excellence behind the RZR Pro R. With an undefeated 2024 SCORE season and dominant performances across the UTV field, Polaris continues to raise the bar for what’s possible in off-road motorsports.

Polaris-supported racer Branden Sims also delivered an impressive second-place finish in a race-prepped RZR Pro R, further cementing Polaris’ dominance across the UTV field.
