The roar of desert horsepower echoed once again in Baja this September, and when the dust settled, Polaris RZR Factory Racing had delivered another sweeping statement to the off-road world. For the third consecutive year, the team owned its class at the Baja 400 by locking down all three podium spots.

Heger’s Relentless Baja 400 Run

Brock Heger has been rewriting the UTV record books all season, and the Baja 400 was no exception. From the opening miles, he set a blistering pace across Baja’s brutal terrain, securing his third straight SCORE UTV overall win and a rare three-peat at the Baja 400.

Heger’s performance wasn’t just another trophy on the shelf. It was proof that both man and machine are in a league of their own. “The RZR Pro R Factory continues to amaze me with its performance and durability,” Heger said. “When you combine this machine with the support of our entire team, it gives us the confidence to push harder and finish stronger every single time.”

An Epic Baja 400 Battle Between Teammates

The story of the race wasn’t just Heger’s dominance—it was the duel between teammates. Cayden MacCachren came out swinging, trading the lead with Heger through the first half of the race. By race mile 211, MacCachren briefly claimed the top spot. Heger pulled away in the final 200 miles, sealing victory while MacCachren locked in second overall.

Meanwhile, Max Eddy Jr. started deeper in the pack but drove with quiet determination. By mile 211, Eddy Jr. had clawed into third, and from there he never looked back, completing Polaris’ commanding 1-2-3 sweep.

The Machine That’s Changing the Game

At the heart of this domination is the Polaris RZR Pro R Factory. Built specifically for the punishing demands of desert racing, the Pro R Factory has quickly become the sport’s benchmark for power, durability, and handling. According to Polaris’ Director of Off-Road Motorsports, Alex Scheuerell, “The RZR Pro R Factory isn’t just proving itself; it’s redefining what’s possible in desert racing.”

From blistering straightaways to rock-strewn washes, the Baja 400 course is notorious for breaking machines—and drivers. Yet Polaris’ engineering held firm, giving its drivers the confidence to charge forward and prove once again why the RZR is the machine to beat.

Looking Toward The SCORE Baja 1000

While the Baja 400 podium sweep is cause for celebration, the work is far from over. Next up is the granddaddy of them all: the Baja 1000 this November. The Polaris RZR Factory Racing team enters as defending champions, with Brock Heger on the verge of securing back-to-back SCORE Desert National Championships.
