Mitch Guthrie RZR XP 1000

The King of the Hammers is known as the toughest off-road race in the world, and this year, the person who conquers the course will go home with a brand-new, 2015 RZR XP 1000 EPS.

As part of Polaris RZR being the official side-by-side of the race, Polaris sweetened the deal by offering up a RZR XP 1000 EPS to the Pro Class side-by-side winner. Last year, 26 side-by-sides would vie for “The Hammer” with five-time Hammers Winner Mitch Guthrie winning in his RZR XP 1000 EPS.

“A majority of King of the Hammers’ Pro racers choose to race RZR,” says Jason DiFuccia, director of marketing for Polaris Off-Road Vehicles. “So we figured they’d like a new RZR XP 1000 for winning. We look forward to presenting the 2015 Pro SxS winner with the keys.”

The 2015 King of the Hammers race will take place on Wednesday, February 4, at Means Dry Lake, in Landers, Calif. More information can be found at http://ultra4racing.com/category/king_of_the_hammers/
