Upcoming. Live. Just finished.

Reporting snapshot: September 13, 2026. Schedules and entry lists can change; check SCORE for current information.
PRELIMINARY SCORE / LiveMotorSports board (7047215). Not final. Not a payout claim.
Wayne Matlock #1871 leads Pro UTV Open on corrected time — 9:54:28.193 (SCORE Race Info sheet: 00:01:12 SPEED).
Polaris SCORE Challenge frame (factory four to beat): Brock Heger #1896, Cayden MacCachren #1821, Ethan Groom #1874, Joe Terrana #1898. Rules ask for beating all four RZR Factory Racing vehicles AND winning UTV Overall — an Open class win alone isn’t the bonus.
Current board read: Matlock sits ahead of Groom and Terrana on corrected time. MacCachren is DQ. Heger shows Open PIC 8 / corrected 13:30:30.050 while FAST still lists 9:30:30.050 — and the official 4-wheel penalty PDF does not list #1896 (board-vs-sheet gap; no invented +4:00 line).
If Matlock is eligible (Polaris confirm — not publicly locked here like a Sims-style announcement) and these results hold, he’s in position for the Challenge purse. Not earned. Not paid. Path only.
