Marietta, Ga. – Yamaha Racing announces factory-supported bLU cRU racer Brock Heger captured the 2018 Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) Production 1000 UTV Class national championship this past weekend at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, AZ. For the second year in a row, Heger claims the $15,000 Yamaha bLU cRU bonus in his YXZ1000R.
“Yamaha sends a big congratulations to Brock Heger, along with his entire team, who put up another incredible performance this year, successfully defending the LOORRS Production 1000 UTV national title in a YXZ1000R,” Donnie Luce, Yamaha’s off-road racing coordinator, said. “Heger performed with unmatched consistency as the only racer in the class to finish on the podium ten times or more—for two years in a row.”
Heger earned his second-straight LOORRS Production 1000 UTV national championship and Yamaha’s $15,000 bLU cRU championship bonus in his Jeremy McGrath Motorsports/Maxxis/ICON Vehicle Dynamics YXZ1000R. This year, Heger finished on the podium in all but one race, including four first-place finishes. His 536 points earned him an impressive 64-point lead to finish the season.
