Polaris ATV Finishes
Longest Baja 1000 on First Outing
Polaris team finishes fifth on
Outlaw 525 IRS
Medina, MN (11/30/2007) - The Polaris
Outlaw continues to flex its muscle in the racing
world, this time by finishing the longest Baja 1000
on its first attempt.
Hancock Racing, consisting of Jeff Hancock, Josh
Edwards, Nick Nelson, Brandon Brown, Shane Strunk
and Shiloh Strunk, finished the grueling, 1296-mile
race in fifth place in the Pro ATV class. The
team ran most of the race in third until an engine
issue plagued the team in the last 250 miles.
"Finishing the longest Baja 1000 on our
first try is a huge accomplishment," said
Joel Notaro, project engineer for Polaris. "I'd
like to thank the team for their dedication to
Polaris' racing efforts and hard work prepping
and piloting the Outlaw 525 IRS to its finish."
