Henderson, NV - The Henderson 250
was the final round of the 2013 Best in the Desert
Off-Road racing series, and with double points online
the line along with a one race drop, there was several
teams still in the championship hunt heading into
the Best in the Desert Henderson 250, but when the
dust settled, Jagged X’s Brandon Schueler claimed
the Championship with the win in theJagged X Polaris
RZR XP 900. Holz / Coastal Racing’s Scott Kiger
and Mark Holz finished in the second spot followed
by Can-Am’s Jason and Derek Murray rounding out
the top three for the day.
The BITD Henderson 250 was held just south west
of Las Vegas, NV near the small town of Jean,
and Best in the Desert racers were greeted to
less than ideal racing conditions with temperatures
in the low 30s for the start of the race with
some scattered snow showers and high winds.

The three lap Best in the Desert raced started
before sunrise at 6:15AM with the SxS racers leaving
the starting line last after the motorcycle and
ATV racers. Even with the cold temperatures, 11
UTV Pro 1900 Class teams signed up for the season
finale.
Jagged X Racing’s 1919 Brandon Schueler started
on the second row of the1900 UTV Pro Class, and
he quickly worked his way past the SR1 Pro class
racers, and in behind Holz Racing that started
30 seconds ahead of Jagged X. Heading into the
final lap, Schueler was two minutes behind Holz
with adjusted time, but in the final lap, Holz
suffered a flat tire, which opened the door for
Schueler to take over the lead.

flag for the win |
Once out front, Schueler also suffered a rear
flat tire, but he wasn’t about to stop and kept
going at a much slower speed to salvage the tire
to the checkered flag, and the plan worked with
Schueler holding on to take the win with just
under two minutes to spare after just over 140
miles of racing.

On the podium, Jagged X Racing’s Schueler celebrated
and shared in the excitement of his team's 5th
championship "the Polaris is awesome. It
handles perfect, runs great, and I wouldn't want
to run anything else," said Brandon Schueler
on the Best in the Desert Championship.
After a DNF at the Parker 250 season opener,
it was a huge relief for the Jagged X Team to
come back and claim the Best in the Desert UTV
Pro Championship. "Everything fell into place,
and I couldn't be happier. It couldn't have been
a more exciting season,” said Team manager Bill
Schueler.
