As the 2016 winner, Sims went into the Mint 400 looking to
reclaim the title. Sims started the race on the front row in his
RZR® Turbo S and set a pace that was untouchable by the
competition, leading wire-to-wire and ultimately crossing the
finish line nearly 12 minutes ahead of the other racers. Coming off
a third-place podium at the Parker 250, Carver secured his best
finish at the Mint 400 placing second in his RZR Turbo S. Carver
and defending champion and RZR teammate Mitch Guthrie Jr. battled
all day and night swapping positions on the course and on corrected
time, finishing second and fifth respectively.
“The course is notoriously challenging at the Mint 400 and
Branden was able to command the lead early on and never look back,”
said Brett Carpenter, Team RZR Race Manager, Polaris. “We’re
excited to see Carver take a piece of the action as well and we
look forward to seeing the Factory RZR team continue to push ahead
in the upcoming WORCS race.”
Polaris RZR also dominated the youth Mint 400 races with over 45
entries among all classes and Dallas Gonzalez claiming the Youth
1000 victory.
Polaris RZR Factory Racing will be back in action at the WORCS
Round 3 in Peoria, Arizona, March 15 – 17, 2020.
