RJ Anderson
takes the LOORRS UTV Unlimited Championship
in the Polaris RZR XP 900 SxS
|
Minneapolis, MN (12/14/2011) -The
Polaris RANGER RZR family added its fourth UTV
championship of the year to its impressive racing
resume with RJ Anderson and his Walker Evans
Polaris RZR XP 900 taking their first Lucas
Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) UTV Unlimited
Championship.
Anderson clinched the championship in the
final rounds of racing at LOORRS finale in
Chandler, AZ. After a few years of falling
just short of the championships, Anderson
credits the new RZR XP 900 and his sponsors
for putting him on top.
“The Polaris RZR XP900 is the best
UTV on the market in stock form, combine that
with our Walker Evans Racing team and products
and now we have the Championship we have wanted
for so long. I give a lot of the credit to
Kevin Kroyer. We wouldn't be where we are
if it wasn't for Kevin Kroyer and his Kroyer
Race Engines that he built for our Polaris
UTV. He squeezed every bit of power he could
out of these engines keeping us in front and
ensuring that we always started and finished
races.
This was our last year racing UTV's at
Lucas Oil so it was important to go out and
win the championship, and that’s what
the team did and because of that I just couldn't
be more pumped than I am right now. I want
to also thank each and every member of our
team and every sponsor that has helped us
along. South Point Casino is a huge part of
our program in all classes and their support
gets us here every round. Holz Racing Products
for building and giving me one of the sweetest
handling UTV's ever built. Goodyear Tires
for giving us the grip we need, Mastercraft
Safety for keeping me safe especially in my
big wreck during the opening rounds of racing
at Firebird this season.
Of course I need to thank Walker Evans
Racing, they along with my Mom and Dad have
provided me with this opportunity to go race
and do what I love and for that I owe them
more than words could ever describe. Muzzys,
K&N Filters, Dethrone Racing, Oakley,
Utendorfer Design, UTVUnderground.com, Summers
Brothers, and of course Polaris Industries,
thank you to all of you for all of the parts,
support, and encouragement all season long!”
