t's extremely rare when a racer competes in their first SCORE Baja race, and
wins. For Team Honda, Corbin Leaverton raced the Talon R with the guidance,
team, and prep of Proctor Racing to win in the SCORE Pro UTV NA class at the
2025 SCORE Baja 500.
But Leaverton isn't just some young kid looking to win an important race, he's
a professional SXS racer, an example of how this level and class of off-road racing
has changed into. His career offers a better view of his experience, as the 24-year-
old has been racing SXS's since the age of 13, and professionally since he was about
17. "I grew up riding dirt bikes and racing SXS, and that's all I know," says Leaverton.
"It's been a crazy progression for me, starting in a Polaris 900, and since then, the
progression of SXS vehicles has been utterly insane."
