Outing
Polaris team finishes fifth on Outlaw 525
IRS
Minneapolis, Nov. 29, 2007
– The Polaris Outlaw continues to flex its
muscle in the racing world, this time by
finishing the longest Baja 1000 on its first
attempt.
Hancock Racing, consisting of Jeff Hancock,
Josh Edwards, Nick Nelson, Brandon Brown, Shane
Strunk and Shiloh Strunk, finished the grueling,
1296-mile race in fifth place in the Pro ATV
class. The team ran most of the race in third
until an engine issue plagued the team in the
last 250 miles.
"Finishing the longest Baja 1000 on our first
try is a huge accomplishment,” said Joel Notaro,
project engineer for Polaris. “I’d like to thank
the team for their dedication to Polaris’ racing
efforts and hard work prepping and piloting the
Outlaw 525 IRS to its finish.”
