Raul flipped his vehicle on his lid on the last lap costing him valuable time, the lead and eventual win. Casey Currie moved to the lead but went down a broken driveshaft. Loren Healy also found himself in the lead before being forced to stop on the course with an issue. Soon, Kyle Chaney found himself ahead of all of the competitors and just miles from Hammertown with two rock obstacles left. Chaney blew a shock on his Can-Am Maverick UTV but continued to push through Resolution and Backdoor, taking the bypass. The tire continued to hold together but was ready to come apart at any minute as Chaney nursed his UTV across the finish line.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8810\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2024-King-of-the-Hammers_Race-of-Kings_JP-Gomez-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nBehind Chaney, JP was a man on a mission, making up critical time. JP wasted zero time moving through the rocks of Resolution and Backdoor. When JP arrive in Hammertown, he was ahead of Chaney on corrected time securing the win. JP joins his brother as a King of the Hammers.","excerpt":"JP Gomez earned his crown at the 2024 King of the Hammers.
