In this episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, we talk with the legend of offroad talk radio and a multi-chassis racer Jim Beaver of the Down & Dirty Radio Show! We talk through what Jim has going on (it’s A LOT!), Polaris’ impact on the UTV industry, OEM competition in racing, the impact of iRacing and potential EV’s, how we can keep the race circuits healthy, and how racers can provide value to their sponsors! So much in this episode and we’ve only scratched the surface with Jim! Check out this episode and Jim’s radio show on SirusXM 217!
