Justin Morgan is one of the best desert racers on two wheels, but he seems to know his way around on four wheels too if his 2023 Baja 1000 winner’s medal is any proof. He’ll now see if he can keep it up at the San Felipe 250, where he will drive for RZR Factory Racing.

Morgan will drive the #1831 Polaris RZR in the Pro UTV Open class. Colored orange, it serves as the team’s “tryout” car and has been piloted by different drivers at each race to see who deserves a full-time factory ride in 2026. Dylan Schmoke drove the orange UTV at King of the Hammers while Ethan Groom did so at the Mint 400.

In 2023, Morgan made his SCORE driving debut at the Baja 1000, where he split a RZR with Cayden MacCachren and Rhys Millen. The trio was the top UTV overall as they finished 20th. Since then, he has occasionally continued to support RZR Factory Racing.

New teammate Brock Heger, who has been on a tear in recent months, told 131 Off-Road that while he “kind of never really knew [Morgan] until this whole thing, it’s fun getting to know those guys and trying to help them in however way I can and as a whole.”

On the saddle of a motorcycle, Morgan is a seven-time Baja 1000 bike winner, including winning the most recent edition in November. He also has two San Felipe titles, which he earned in 2018 and 2019 as part of SLR Honda.
