382 Teams Head to Battle at the 2019 Polaris RZR UTV World Championship
The biggest UTV race in the world continues explosive growth in 2019
April 4th, 2019 - San Diego, CA - UTV World Championship announced today that over 382 race teams and thousands of fans are headed to Laughlin, Nevada for the 2019 Polaris RZR UTV World Championship. More teams are expected to register onsite with an expected entry list of over 400. Racers will compete for the coveted championship win in Laughlin, NV, and also race for cash & prizes. Sponsors of the event have provided a host of prizes from shocks to wheels to cash. Title sponsor Polaris RZR has put up the grand prize of three brand new Polaris RZRs in to a pool of the top 5 finishers from the 170/250, 570 and Pro Turbo Desert and Pro Turbo Production Short Course races.
“This is the Superbowl of UTV Racing. This is the best of the best racers from desert, short course, and youth UTV racing all at one event. We are thrilled at the racer turnout. The Polaris RZR UTV World Championship continues to lead off-road racing into the future. All the biggest UTV brands and aftermarket companies are represented at the AZ West UTV festival Friday April 5th. It’s going to be another huge year for UTV racing!” stated UTV World Championship CEO, Matt Martelli.
Last week, pre-entered teams were able to participate in the draw for starting positions. Racers who missed the drawing will be placed in the order or receipt of their entry forms. The event will once again feature a “dead engine land rush start” with racers filing rows of up to 13 vehicles! This UTV World Championship land rush start has quickly become the most exciting in UTV off-road racing.
Mad Media – the San Diego off road production powerhouse – will once again be covering the World Championship and producing onsite at once digital content, as well as a one hour digital TV show that will go live later this spring.
