Two Generations of Can-Am Maverick Win at the 2024 Can-Am UTV King of the Hammers Championship
Can-Am Factory Racers Win the UTV Overall, Taking First and Second in the UTV Pro Mod Class
The 170-mile race covers what many believe to be the roughest, technical rock and desert terrain in the world and is the most challenging single day race of the year. Can-Am Factory Racers contested both the UTV Pro Mod and UTV Pro Open classes to showcase the capability and versatility of both the new Maverick R platform and legendary Maverick X3 platform, each proving their racing prowess on the course.

The qualifying race was action packed, living up to its reputation for creating viral moments, with a challenging loop course that included the infamous 'Backdoor' section.

Chaney's methodical driving allowed him to open up a sizable gap on the field at the start of the second lap. Blurton's precision driving and race management allowed him to have one of the faster first lap pit stops, which helped him gain extra time on the field. Wolff put on a passing clinic throughout the race, passing more than 80 vehicles over the course of the day to fight his way up to the front.
After strategically managing his race, Chaney would secure his fourth King of the Hammers UTV Championship, bringing home the UTV overall win and UTV Pro Mod Class and beating the rest of the field by nearly six minutes, even with two flat tires. Blurton would finish second in the UTV Pro Mod class, while also securing third place for the UTV overall finish despite having his own challenges throughout the race with slower competitors in front of him. Taking third in the Open UTV class against competitors with twice the displacement of Woff's Maverick X3, his performance was truly astonishing.
