Starting the race at 7:30 the team of Mike Lasher and Rick "Wally" Wallace took off into the rising sun and battled dust, whoops, and blinding glare from the sun for the first 25 miles. Once out of the mid way pit with a quick adjustment to the shocks, complements of Speed Technologies it was smooth sailing from there. The Lockmann Precision motor ran strong all race hitting a top speed of 60.04 MPH on the GPS. When the car reached the main pit the team had their work in store. A driver change putting Tim Orchard and Dave Elbert into the car, adding 10 gallons of gas, adjusting the preload on the rear shocks, and an increase in the nitrogen of the rear shocks was all completed in under 3 minutes.

Jagged X’s RANGER RZR Finishes “Best in the Desert” Series Strong and Takes Championship for Second Year in a Row

Minneapolis, December 9, 2008 – Jagged X and their No. 1919, RANGER RZR finished the “Best in the Desert” series strong with another win at the “Henderson Fabtech Desert Classic” this past weekend. The win finished another dominating season that brought Jagged X and the RANGER RZR their second, consecutive BITD championship.

The Jagged X/Polaris Racing RANGER RZR team had already secured the season championship but was determined to finish the season as strong as possible. The field had a surprising number of entries with 10 teams lining up at the start for the approximately 150 mile race. The No. 1919 started in the sixth position driven by Blake Van De Loo and performed perfectly for the four-hour race. After swapping the lead several times, the RANGER RZR was able to pull ahead and take the first place finish by more than 10 minutes.

This race marks the fifth consecutive win for the Jagged X/Polaris Racing team which began the season with two second place finishes. This is the first time a Side-by-Side has completed every single race mile for an entire racing season in the BITD series. The Side-by-Sides also are the only class competing in a seven race season, with all other classes racing five races. The race also marks the 14th consecutive finish for the Jagged X RANGER RZR. These accomplishments proves the RANGER RZR is the hardest working, hardest racing Side-by-Side available.

“Polaris would like to congratulate Jagged X on their second Best in the Desert Championship,“ said Craig Scanlon, product line sales manager for the Polaris Side x Side Division. “The Jagged X team has been extremely dedicated to the RANGER RZR racing effort and their continued success and second championship is well deserved. We look forward to the 2009 race season with hopes Jagged X will continue its win streak and secure another championship.”

In the first-year of production for the RANGER RZR, Jagged X did the unthinkable and won the 2007 BITD championship. Jagged X got their first podium, taking second, at the 2007 “Blue Water Grand Prix” and took their first first-place at the 2007 “Vegas to Reno” race and never looked back. They finished the season with three first-place finishes and one second-place and the BITD championship.

In 2008, Jagged X and the No. 1919 started the season with two second-place finishes and then went on a tear finishing the season with five consecutive first-places, and the 2008 championship.

“The RANGER RZR is an amazing platform for our desert race program and we have to thank Polaris industries for their continued support,” said Bill Schueler of Jagged X. “We all work very hard together to finish and win races, and will stay on the cutting edge of Side-by-Side racing as our sport’s popularity continues to grow.”
