Jagged X Racers Pilot RANGER RZR to Win in BITD’s Grueling Vegas to Reno Race
.
The Polaris RANGER RZR proved its grit, dependability and incredible staying power in the desert recently when it was the only side-by-side to finish the grueling 567 miles of the Vegas to Reno Race held as part of the Best in the Desert Racing Association’s 2007 series. Built and piloted by the Jagged X team, the RANGER RZR finished the race in just over 21 hours.

None of the 10 other UTV Class (utility vehicle) entrants completed the race.

“The RANGER RZR continues to show its awesome combination of power, performance and reliability whether on the trail or the track,” said Craig Scanlon, Product Line Sales Manager for the Polaris Side x Side Division. “Polaris could not be more proud of the passion, preparation and dedication of our partners at Jagged X. We thank them for helping us reach this milestone in RANGER RZR racing history.”

The Best in the Desert’s (BITD) Vegas to Reno race is the longest off-road race in the United States, covering 567 miles. By withstanding the punishment of the desert’s 105-degree temperatures, deep silt, rocks and rutted Nevada landscape, the RANGER RZR out-ran and out-lasted 10 other starters.

“This finish brings credibility to the UTV class and proves the Polaris RANGER RZR as a great off-road performance machine,” said Bill Schueler, owner of Jagged X. “Jagged X is proud to represent Polaris and we thank all who helped with our racing program. Desert racing is one of the most demanding motorsports on both equipment and drivers. We are proud of our crew and can’t wait for the next race.”

Jagged X’s four-man team included Brandon Schueler, Justin Schueler, Bill Schueler and Blake Van De Loo. The win rockets the Jagged X team into a leadership position in the Best in the Desert Racing series. The team was sponsored by Jagged X, Polaris, Cart Wheelin Magazine, CR Designs, Mountain States Contracting, Vision X Lighting, OMF Performance, Jet Trim Seats, DJ Safety, C.E.M. and MTA.
