State 300 - ATV & SxS Race Report

In the Side-by-Side classes the battled brewed
between Jagged X Racing’s Brandon Schueler
and the Coastal / Holz Racing team of Mark Holz.
At the halfway point of the 298 mile long race,
the Schueler held a six minute time adjusted lead
over Mark Holz, but in the final half of the race,
Holz stayed on the gas and reeled the Jagged X
team back in, which made for an exciting finish.

of the race |

Racing's Mark Holz came on strong in the
final leg of the race as he charged after
Jagged X Racing in the lead |
The Schueler’s 1919 Polaris RZR XP 900 was
the first SxS to cross the finish line with a time
of 6:40:28, which had everyone watching the horizon
for the dust of Holz Racing’s RZR XP 900 since
they started 4 minutes behind Schueler, and sure
enough, the Holzr Racing RZR XP 900 came into view
and crossed the finish line with an adjusted time
of 6:39:34 for the overall win with less than a
minute between the front runners.
“We excited to take our first Best in the
Desert win. We ran a near flawless race besides
a flat tire that slowed us down some, but we were
able to recover from it and chase down the Jagged
X Racing team to take the win. This is our first
year of racing the Best in the Desert Series,
but our whole program keeps getting better with
each passing round, and we are looking for the
Vegas to Reno in August,” said Holz.
