Minneapolis, MN (12/12/2008) -
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."
