“This event was created with two goals in mind. Number one was to give the sport an event that we could be proud of and claim as our own. Number two was to give the racers an event where they were treated as the pros that they are. To make sure they felt respected and rewarded, we wanted to offer up the biggest prize package and purse possible and make it so that all competitors had their fair share at bringing home something special! We couldn’t have made this happen without Polaris and all of the other awesome sponsors! Stated UTVUnderground.com CEO and Founder Joey D.” DiGiovanni
