Synchrony announced its continued sponsorship of the Polaris Factory Race Team for the second year, following the team’s undefeated inaugural 2023 season when it won the Southern California Off Road Enthusiasts (SCORE) Series Pro UTV Open Class Championship. In addition to its sponsorship, Synchrony has been providing consumer financing for Polaris powersports products since 2006, offering qualified buyers special financing options and exclusive offers on a variety of products.
The SCORE World Desert Championship series has been in operation for over 50 years and features notable events throughout the region. For the 2024 season, the Polaris Factory Racing team will be driving the new Pro R Factory vehicle side-by-side UTV. The vehicle, which was engineered to thrive against the grueling demands of open desert racing, made its official debut at the San Felipe 250. Additional races this season include the Baja 500, then Vegas to Reno, the Baja 400 and the Baja 1000.
“Synchrony is a leader in powersports financing, enabling aspiring and current riders to purchase their own Polaris vehicles,” said Alex Scheuerell, director of off-road motorsports at Polaris. “Synchrony has been an important financing partner and race team sponsor, and we’re thrilled that they have chosen to join us again as a sponsor for the Polaris Factory Race Team’s second season as we look to defend our championship performance from 2023.”
“Just like the Polaris Factory Racing team, Synchrony is passionate about outdoor adventures,” said Susan Medrano, senior vice president and general manager of outdoors at Synchrony. “As the longest-running financing partner for Polaris, we are committed to making it simple and affordable for consumers to kick off their own adventures when they purchase off-road vehicles, including the same RZR Pro R vehicles Polaris drivers will be racing this season.”
