Heger's victory adds to his impressive collection of wins, including the Baja 1000, a rookie Dakar victory, two King of the Hammers triumphs, and now his fourth Mint 400 class victory in five races. His Polaris SCI factory teammate Cayden MacCachren finished second, seven minutes behind, while Red Bull Polaris RZR's Mitch Guthrie took third place.
