Minneapolis, MN (5/18/2010) - Just
three short weeks since the catastrophic
fire at the Silver State 300 race where the
Jagged X / Polaris racing 1919
race car literally burnt to the ground, the
team rebounded to a second place finish in
the Best in the Desert Blue Water Grand Prix,
in Parker, Arizona.

Schueler & Co-Pilot Mike West |
Jagged X raced their Project X Monster Rock
RANGER RZR as an interim race
car. While the car had a good deal of the
required structure in place it still required
some long nights and some hard work to ready
transform the purpose-built rock crawler into
a competitive desert racer.
The Parker race was problem-free from flag
to flag. This is the team's only race with
a full field land rush start where they came
up a bit short and fell into the pack around
sixth. After two laps, Brandon Schueler and
co-pilot Mike West battled their way into
the second place position but could not quite
reel in the first place runner before time
ran out.
With the points chase for the BITD championship
very tight, Jagged X looks
toward August and the famed "Vegas to
Reno" to kick off the second half of
the season.
Jagged X is sponsored by
