WAYNE MATLOCK

Day 6 was full of emotion as we lined up for the final stage of the rally. We came into the day with a 50+ minute lead for the Overall UTV position, but in Baja, you never let your guard down. Even with the excitement building, none of us were truly able to breathe until we crossed that final finish line in Cabo. 🇲🇽🏁 Wayne & Pancho took on the first special and brought the car through flawlessly before Steve and I jumped in for the final stretch. Our plan was to back it down to about 75% and bring it home clean… but the second we got strapped in and saw dust ahead of us, that plan went right out the window 😂 We settled right back into race pace and ended up having one of our strongest finishes of the entire rally with a 6th Overall on the final special against all vehicles! 😄 The best part of all was seeing our family, friends, crew, and race fans waiting for us at the finish line cheering louder than ever. After 1,400 miles over 6 days through Baja, we officially finished 1st Overall UTV and 10th Overall in the entire rally!! 🤩 What a week. What a team. What a race. ❤️ @polarisrzr @yokohamatire @optimabatteries @visionwheel @ruggedradios @maximausa @ridebajamexicaninsurance @ridefoxpv @upfitutv @fuelfactory @bajadesignsofficial @shocktherapyusa @simpsonraceproducts @stilo_usa @hostyleinc @savageutv @tprindustry @cruzarmor @upr_racingproducts @heatwavevisual @factory_utv @pro_eagle @blackopsmachineco

What an incredible week at NORRA’s Baja 6 Day Rally! We were able to keep the Polaris Pro R Rally in the #1 position all six days and finish 1st Overall UTV. Sharing driving duties with each other throughout the event made this race an absolute blast and something we’ll never forget. Huge thank you to our entire crew for all the hard work and support all week long, and to all of our amazing sponsors who help make this possible. Special thanks to Polaris RZR for building such an incredible vehicle that performed flawlessly all week. Proud of this team and already looking forward to doing it again next year! @polarisrzr @yokohamatire @optimabatteries @visionwheel @ruggedradios @maximausa @ridebajamexicaninsurance @ridefoxpv @upfitutv @fuelfactory @bajadesignsofficial @shocktherapyusa @simpsonraceproducts @stilo_usa   @hostyleinc @savageutv @tprindustry @cruzarmor @upr_racingproducts @heatwavevisual @factory_utv @pro_eagle @blackopsmachineco

Day 5 is in the books! Today was my turn to take over the driving duties for the entire day after Wayne handled yesterday’s stage. Going into it, my goal was simple — stay smart, stay smooth, and protect our overall UTV lead. That strategy paid off. We’ve now stretched our lead to 50 minutes in the Overall UTV standings and are sitting 10th overall amongst all competitors heading into tomorrow’s 6th and final stage of NORRA’s Baja 6 Day Rally! 🇲🇽🔥 One more day to go. Let’s finish this thing strong. 💪🏼 @polarisrzr @yokohamatire @optimabatteries @visionwheel @ruggedradios @maximausa @ridebajamexicaninsurance @ridefoxpv @upfitutv @fuelfactory @bajadesignsofficial @shocktherapyusa @simpsonraceproducts @stilo_usa   @hostyleinc @savageutv @tprindustry @cruzarmor @upr_racingproducts @heatwavevisual @factory_utv @pro_eagle @blackopsmachineco

Another incredible day at NORRA’s Baja 6 Day Rally. We battled hard with Team Renezeder and crossed the line P2, only 3 seconds back. Proud of the push—and still leading Overall UTV by 35 minutes heading into Day 5. @polarisrzr @yokohamatire @optimabatteries @visionwheel @ruggedradios @maximausa @ridebajamexicaninsurance @ridefoxpv @upfitutv @fuelfactory @bajadesignsofficial @shocktherapyusa @simpsonraceproducts @stilo_usa   @hostyleinc @savageutv @tprindustry @cruzarmor @upr_racingproducts @heatwavevisual @factory_utv @pro_eagle @blackopsmachineco

Our clean run took a hit this morning when I caught a rock at RM 15 in the first special. The tire change cost us some time but I stayed calculated through the rocks without another spare until Pit 1. From there, I picked up the pace and made up ground before handing it over to Kristen for the final run into San Ignacio. We’re still holding 1st Overall UTV on combined time, but missed out on today’s stage win. @polarisrzr @yokohamatire @optimabatteries @visionwheel @ruggedradios @maximausa @ridebajamexicaninsurance @ridefoxpv @upfitutv @fuelfactory @bajadesignsofficial @shocktherapyusa @simpsonraceproducts @stilo_usa @hostyleinc @savageutv @tprindustry @cruzarmor @upr_racingproducts @heatwavevisual @factory_utv @pro_eagle @blackopsmachineco

Halfway through NORRA and Team Matlock is bringing the heat! 🔥 Keep an eye on @kristenmatlock and @wayne_matlock as they continue in the top runners of the UTV class going into Day 4!

Day 2 of 6: NORRA’s Baja 6 Day Rally: I drove the first two specials and Wayne drove the third and final special today! The course was twisty and rocky making it very UTV friendly so I was able to get by a couple of the trucks that had started ahead before handing the car over to Wayne. His section was also tight and twisty enabling him to push us into 10th overall and maintain our 1st Overall UTV position!🥇 It’s still anyone’s race with 4 days of racing remaining though!🇲🇽🏁 @polarisrzr @yokohamatire @optimabatteries @visionwheel @ruggedradios @maximausa @ridebajamexicaninsurance @ridefoxpv @upfitutv @fuelfactory @bajadesignsofficial @shocktherapyusa @simpsonraceproducts @stilo_usa @hostyleinc @savageutv @tprindustry @cruzarmor @upr_racingproducts @heatwavevisual @factory_utv @pro_eagle @blackopsmachineco

Clayton (our 14-year-old son) with Wayne as his codriver laid it down all day in his @polarisrzr XP S 4 1000—bringing home the Pro UTV NA class WIN and 9th overall at the @ama_district_38 Mayhem 160 this weekend!!🏆💪🏼 Meanwhile, Wyatt (our 16-year-old son) & Jeff Hoskins (@hosracnproprep ) were on the charge in his RZR Pro R until a tough mechanical ended their day early—part of the game, but never easy!😎 That’s racing… the highs, the heartbreak, and everything in between!
