“Polaris is excited for another year of ATV and Side-by-Side Racing,” said Donna Beadle, race team manager for Polaris’ Off-Road Division. “We hope to continue our momentum with the Sportsman XP 850 and are excited to introduce our new RANGER RZR XP 900 to Side-by-Side racing.”

Rath Racing
Rath Racing is back for a third year to race the Sportsman XP 850 with Power Steering and the new RANGER RZR XP 900 in GNCC. Daryl Rath continues to dial in the Sportsman XP 850 and has his sites set on No. 1 in the “4x4 Open” class. Rath also will race the new RANGER RZR XP 900 in the “Open Modified” Side-by-Side class.

Yokley Racing
Polaris will continue to support the Yokley Racing/National Guard race team for 2011. William Yokley took his National Guard RANGER RZR 800 to the top of the “Open Modified” class for 2010 and will look to repeat his title with the new RANGER RZR XP 900 in 2011. Yokley’s new teammate, Scott Kiger, will race the RANGER RZR XP 900 in all WORCS events this season and looks to take the top spot in that series.

Jagged X
Jagged X looks to keep their championship streak alive in Best in the Desert Championship with the new RANGER RZR XP 900. Brandon Schueler, Chad Riccio and Mike West will be back for another exciting season in the new 88-horsepower, extreme Side-by-Side.
