No brand knows how to conquer King of the Hammers, the world’s toughest single-day off-road race, like King Shocks does. After a sweep of last year’s podium in Ultra4’s biggest event, King Shocks once again returned to the top of the podium at the grueling race, with driver Raul Gomez conquering the event for the first time and taking home $67,000 for the victory, plus a $25,000 cash award from King Shocks. Gomez’s victory completed a dominant event for King Shocks, which dominated the top classes of off-road racing across 10 days of competition.

After earning the #1 plate in 2020 by winning the Best in the Desert Overall Points Championship, Kevin Thompson and Harley Letner have picked up right where they left off in the first quarter of the 2021 race season. Beginning with overall wins at BITD’s Parker 425 and Silver State 300, Concrete Motorsports has now added a third win in a row by claiming the top spot at Legacy Racing’s inaugural two-day Baja Nevada by nearly three and half minutes over King Shocks teammate, #38 Eric Hustead. The two finishes are the eighth and ninth podiums of the available twelve between the two series in the Unlimited Truck class.

Arguably one of the most challenging race series in the world, ULTRA4 Racing’s second stop of the Western Series in San Felipe, Baja California was a 110-mile battle through rocks, silt, sand, whoops, and fierce competition. 35 of the top 4400 Unlimited Class racers took the green flag and at the checkered it was 2x King of the Hammers Champion Loren Healy in first place, putting King Shocks atop the podium once again.

It was a podium sweep weekend for King Shocks at Best in the Desert’s Silver State 300, as around four minutes separated #1
Kevin Thompson/Harley Letner, #127 Kyle Jergensen and #24 Adam Householder in the 250-mile race.  All three racers followed
up their podium finishes at BITD’s season opener at the Parker 425 earlier in January and remain ahead in the overall points
championship.

King Shocks and King of the Hammers go together for far more reasons than a common name. For one, there’s no better place for The Leader in Off-Road Shock Technology to prove the performance and reliability of the world’s premier off-road shocks than one of the most grueling off-road races in the world, with challenging rock sections, high-speed desert terrain, and an ever-evolving set of obstacles throughout the 14-hour race.
