Mitch Guthrie Jr. Second in Silver State 300 in a RZR Pro R

The Polaris RZR Factory Racing team had an incredible showing at the 2022 Best in the Desert Jimco Racing Silver State 300. Mitch Guthrie Jr., who raced for Polaris earlier this year at the King of the Hammers, finished second overall and second in the 1500 Unlimited Buggy class. Guthrie finished just 12 seconds behind the first overall finisher, and an impressive 23 minutes ahead of the top UTV finisher.

Guthrie started ninth, but quickly made his way to the front. He ended up finishing the race in 5 hours, 23 minutes, and 8 seconds. “I’m absolutely stoked with this weekend’s result. Coming in second overall is a huge feat,” Guthrie said.

The Polaris RZR Factory Racing team will ride the wave of their finish in the Silver State 300 to the Baja 500 in June.
