Milestar Wins at 2022 King Of The Hammers

Feb. 8, 2022

Milestar announced its team won at the 2022 Ultra4 Racing King of the Hammers — Every Man Challenge Modified Class. John Mathews of Off Track Motorsports took the victory in his custom chassis Jeep Wrangler, riding on 37X12.50R17LT Milestar Patagonia M/T tires. 

Mathews added his seventh podium finish on Patagonia M/T tires in numerous off-road racing events across the country.

King of the Hammers is one of the most grueling set of single-day, off-road races in the world. The Every Man Challenge race started with 135 vehicles taking the green flag, yet only 34 survived and finished the race.  

Seven additional teams competed on Milestar Patagonia M/Ts during King of the Hammers week. They include Dustin Esenhour and James Mahoney in the 4400 Class Race of Kings, and Eric Johnson, Kyle Seggelin, Anthony Hadsall, Shawn Rants and Gary Henderson in the Every Man Challenge. Notably, Kyle Seggelin is the only competitor in the entire field competing in an EV (electric vehicle).

“On behalf of the Milestar Tires’ family, I want to congratulate John Mathews and Off Track Motorsports for an amazing win," says Andrew Hoit, vice president of sales and marketing, TireCo. "Thank you to all the teams that supported us during the Every Man Challenge and the Race of Kings. Your commitment, dedication and knowledge is essential for our product development, reliability and continued improvements.”
