Polaris Dominates the 2025 Baja 1000
If you’re a fan of UTV racing, desert punishment, or just watching machines get pushed way past what any “normal” person would attempt… then the 2025 Baja 1000 did not disappoint.
And once again, Polaris RZR Factory Racing showed up and reminded the whole world why they’re at the top of the food chain. They didn’t just win — they swept the podium. Again. 🏆🏆🏆

Baja 1000: The Ultimate UTV Proving Grounds
The 58th Baja 1000 was a brutal 835-mile gauntlet across rocks, silt beds, bottlenecks, deep whoops, and terrain that would make your chiropractor rich.
But for the Polaris team, it was just another day doing what they do best—sending it through mayhem with precision.
Cayden MacCachren and co-driver Ethan Groom trusted the Polaris RZR Pro R Factory to take them the distance… and it delivered. They split driving duties and powered the No. 1821 RZR straight to victory in one of the toughest Baja courses in recent memory.
A Full Polaris Podium? Yep. Again.
Not only did MacCachren grab the win, but Polaris secured 2nd and 3rd as well with Max Eddy Jr. and Brandon Sims rounding out the podium.
That makes it Polaris’ three-peat Baja 1000 sweep.
Not bad for “just” a UTV, right? 😉
Why the RZR Pro R Factory Is Still the Desert King
This machine is built different. Literally.
The Pro R Factory comes with:
-
Reinforced chassis 🧱
-
Long-travel desert suspension 🏜️
-
255HP H.O. monster engine 🐉
-
Race-focused durability and cooling
-
Pro R platform reliability
It’s basically a trophy truck that shrunk in the dryer.
Championship Season? Also Polaris.
On top of the Baja 1000 domination, Brock Heger locked in the 2025 SCORE Pro UTV Open Championship after a clean and calculated finish at this final race.
Polaris didn’t just win the Baja — they swept the entire season.
