Wes
Miller's experience in off-road racing
will be complimented by the new low
center of gravity design of his 2017
Polaris XP4 Turbo |
After a profound amount of research, Miller
chose to have Rhys Millen Racing (RMR) build
and prep the RZR for the season. RMR had built
the 2016 BAJA 1000 winning RZR and brings
a wealth of experience from multiple forms
of motorsports.
“There are so many talented companies doing
race builds now that it was difficult to make
a choice. In the end I went with Rhys Millen
Racing, and I couldn't be happier. RMR has
built a state of the art desert racer and
I am thrilled to be behind the wheel of such
a cutting edge vehicle.” - Wes Miller, Owner
/ Driver DWT Bomb Squad RZR
"Rhys Millen Racing is excited to launch
our new race series chassis based on the 2017
Polaris XP4 Turbo. This is our first step
into the pro production turbo category. With
our many years racing turbo charged rally
cars, we are confident the RZR will work well
right out of the box. With Wes' vast experience
in the desert and off-road racing, we are
confident the this lightweight, low center
of gravity design will compliment his driving
style.” - Rhys Millen, Owner of RMR / Professional
Driver
DWT Racing has stepped up to the plate providing
the lightest and strongest wheels in UTV racing
as well as their rugged, flat resistant Moja-V
tires.

a great opportunity for us to develop and

Pro UTV SCORE Championship and win some races
