RJ Anderson Races with Polaris RZR Monster Energy Pro 2 Truck in 2014 Racing Season

RJ Anderson was literally born into racing. His Dad, Randy Anderson, was crew chief for the legendary Walker Evans for 30 years. So it was no stretch for him to follow in his footsteps and pursue the sport. At about age 12 he started out with Go Karts, but after attending a CORR race with his dad at the first Chula Vista Racetrack, which was the debut of Trophy Kart racing, he was hooked! They were able to put a program together and raced the remainder of the season. RJ says its crazy that it was only 7 years ago!

K&N sponsored RJ Anderson in his Monster Energy Polaris RZR Pro-2 Truck

He has progressed through the years from Trophy Kart to UTV’s where he earned the 2009 M3SX Pro UTV Championship, and then, in 2011, he won the Lucas Oil Off Road Pro UTV Championship. Also, in 2011 he added the Superlite class to his schedule and was the Superlite Challenge Cup winner in addition to earning Pro-Lite Rookie of the Year racing the Polaris RZR. 2012 was a stellar year for RJ, and by racing a Polaris RZR in Pro-Lite he was able to claim the Championship. He was also awarded LOORS Driver of the Year, Dirt Sports Magazine Short Course Driver of the Year, and Crash of the Year. In 2013, he claimed the Terracross Championship.

For 2014, RJ is excited to add yet another class to his schedule with the addition of the #37 Polaris RZR sponsored Monster Energy Pro-2 truck! New sponsors also include BF Goodrich, Rigid Industries and Polaris Engineered Lubricants.

RJ says, “In 2009 we were developing our Polaris RZR and were under powered compared to a lot of other manufacturers in the class. We knew we needed to partner with the best brands possible in order to give us the best package possible so we reached out to K&N and have had an awesome partnership ever since! In off road racing we put our equipment to the test in a very dirty and rough environment. There is no other filter I would trust to bolt on top of our 900 horsepower engine!”
