In a remarkable week of standout performances, Kyle Chaney from Ohio achieved a groundbreaking overall victory at the King of the Hammers “Race of Kings” by piloting a Can-Am UTV to triumph over much costlier and higher horsepower machines in a challenging field. Despite familiar early race conditions, former champion Loren Healy’s Ford Bronco gave way to drivetrain problems, opening the door for a competitive race among top contenders like JP Gomez, Jason Scherer, and Casey Currie. The introduction of a surprise “Mystery Lap” by race promoter Dave Cole added a new element of challenge, with Chaney ultimately emerging as a frontrunner, escalating the intensity against Gomez and others. Chaney’s strategic driving and reliability propelled him to a historic victory, marking the first UTV-based vehicle to claim the prestigious title at King of the Hammers. Additionally, Ford’s strong commitment to off-road racing was showcased by Brad Lovell’s impressive win in the Yokohama Tire Every Man Challenge, further underlining the competitiveness and excitement of the event.
