Team UXC Racing Best in the Desert Silver State 300 Race Report
Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 Racers Micahel Swift & Don Higbee

Shelbyville, TN (5/14/2014) - Heading into this second points round of the Best In The Desert race series the Driven power sports Team UXC racing crew had their work cut out for them. Arriving to the Aliante Station Resort the number 440 Polaris Scrambler 1000 would be in a solid second place for points and hoping to broaden that gap with this race. With rumors of a high speed course the team of Don Higbee and Michael Swift began to strategize their moves to get this machine on the podium.

The race would begin at 6:02 am for Michael Swift aboard the 2014 Polaris Scrambler 1000 after a second position start draw. “We wanted to get out front and make plenty of dust for the teams behind us so we could build a good strong lead” says Swift.

Somewhere near race mile 48 a drive issue developed, which slowed the number 440 quad. This would set this Driven Power Sports - UXC racing team back an hour. Swift was able to get underway once again yet similar unforeseen problems reared up again keeping the machine at a slower pace than desired.    

Overall the race team was able to salvage a solid fifth place and many valuable points. This will keep their Polaris Scrambler in the hunt at the next race. “We look forward to the Vegas to Reno round in august and look forward to putting the Scrambler up front” Says Higbee.

Always in good spirits the team of Don Higbee and Michael Swift will assuredly find the issues that kept them behind and make improvements to control this minor issue. “Looking forward to the future is all we can do and we know we have a championship winning machine under us,” stated Swift and stepping over obstacles is nothing new for these seasoned racers, as they have tasted the championship feast before. Getting ready to race the Baja 500 is priority now as they put this one to bed.
