t's been a wild ride for Hailey Hein
as the navigator for the #1821
Factory Polaris SCI Motorsports
Polaris RZR driven by Cayden
MacCachren. Being in the navigator
seat full-time for MacCachren for
the past two seasons, Hein has had
the best seat in the house to multiple
SCORE UTV Championships and a
string of class wins over the years.
But early in her career, there was a
time when Hein was simply a race shop
assistant for her dad Craig. "I grew
up working with my dad in his race
shop," she said. "He was racing Polaris
when the first 800cc race cars were
introduced in 2008. I did whatever
was needed, but eventually, my sister
and I started racing UTVs, too. I had to
learn to navigate as well. That led to
co-driving and navigating for Jagged X
Off-Road's program in multiple SCORE
events. That's when I met Cayden."
