Mitch Guthrie Jr Wins UTV Overall at
Mint 400 |
“My plan was to get the holeshot and get
away from everyone else so I could drive my
own race…What my RZR got through today really
shows how awesome this machine is and how
great my sponsors are to put this thing together.
I have the best crew out here. I drive the
car, but they are the ones that keep it going.”
- Mitch Guthrie Jr.
In Her second Mint 400 runner-up finish,
Polaris factory racer Kristen Matlock locked

with her DWT Sector Equipped RZR XP 1000!
“It was a rough course and we kept trucking…
I picked my way through the pack pretty quickly
in the class and had to pass a few turbos
as well. The RZR performed great all day.
The course just kept getting rougher as the
race went on.” - Kristen Matlock
