The UTV World Championships were held in Lake Havasu over the weekend for the second year in a row. \u00a0Blurton won three back to back titles in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Blurton, driving a Can-AM and Piplic in a Polaris RZR, battled with each other during the entire race. Piplic won the UTV World Championship last year.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\u201cWe decided this morning that we were going to set a good pace and see where we were at about halfway,\u201d Blurton said on the podium. \u201cThere were a couple guys on the first lap who were pushing at a crazy pace, and it sucks to let them leave you, but we knew what the car could take. Coming into the last lap (Ryan and I) were six seconds apart, I made a mistake and had to change a tire, and thought \u2018aw, man, second place,\u2019 but then we saw him break down.\u201d\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nKaden Wells had a successful battle in the Naturally Aspirated class. Wells turned around and raced in the final event of the day taking second overall despite limited horsepower. Vito Ranuio rounded out the podium in third.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nPhotography: Mad Media","excerpt":"

The goal of the partnership is to teach good stewardship in off-road. Tread Lightly! started as a campaign to address impacts from off-roading in forest areas. In 1990, the organization became a non-profit. Based in Utah, Tread Lightly! helps protect recreation access and promotes outdoor ethics while maintaining a healthy environment.\r\n\r\n\u201cCOVID has supercharged the already rapid growth of the UTV market with 72% of sales being new UTV users. We want to ensure that we teach people new to off-road culture that responsible land use is one of our most important duties,\u201d stated UTV World Championship CEO Matt Martelli.\r\n\r\n\u201d Even just the basic tenet of pack it in, pack it out, making sure you take out any trash you bring in needs to be reinforced as a basic rule of thumb for off-road recreation,\u201d Martelli said.\r\n\r\nThe UTV World Championship event is working with Tread Lightly! to help create a desert clean-up at its Lake Havasu event in October.","excerpt":"
