BFGoodrich Wants Third Griffin King of the Hammers Win

Following two consecutive wins in 2008 and 2009 in the Griffin King of the Hammers loop course, BFGoodrich has set its sights on claiming the third one today, February 12. Taken advantage of the event, the tire manufacturer will also launch a new 42” off-road racing tire.

“BFGoodrich Tires races King of the Hammers to prove the extreme capability of our tires,” Roberts Kukainis, Motorsports Manager for BFGoodrich Tires said. “King of the Hammers has done a good job linking some brutal rock portions with punishing sections of desert."

"BFGoodrich’s racing in desert, rock racing and rock crawling allows us to develop ever-better tires for all drivers who want the ability to go off-road with race-proven confidence. King of the Hammers also proves that the best of the best choose to race on BFGoodrich tires.”

Griffin King of the Hammers is a 135-mile long loop course which combines wide-open desert racing with extremely technical rock crawling sections. The race is so brutal that over half the drivers which started in 2009 didn't manage to finish it.

Last year's race was won by Jason Scherer, while BFGoodrich equipped vehicles managed to take no less than nine of the top spots. Scherer will now start the race from the 38th spot and will try to win again by using BFGoodrich Baja T/AKRT tires, the same ones he employed in the 2009 race.
