alf-way through the 2025 SCORE racing season, Kaden Wells in the No.
2935 Can-Am Maverick R, is currently the points leader in SCORE Pro UTV
Forced Induction class. It's a position he's familiar with after winning the
SCORE Pro Stock class championship in 2024.
While it's too early to predict a final outcome, as there are still two races
left in the season, he attributes some of the success to the ability to working directly
with Can-Am. He believes this has helped reach his goals in a new class.
Although Wells and the Risq Racing Team are not a part of Can-Am's official
"factory" team, they are supported by the factory, meaning they share information
and parts that helps both Can-Am and Wells in off-road racing. While he's not
technically a fully funded contracted factory racer like Can-Am's Phil Blurton Jr.,
Wells does enjoy some of the same perks. "It's my first year of working directly
with Can-Am," said Wells. "They are fully open with me about new parts and other
engineering data. They extend all the help they can under my particular program.
For example, I was given a new driveline to test recently, as well as a lot of insight
into the Maverick R platform. I'm also privy to the prototypes being made."
