S3 Racing Dominates Best in the Desert Racing Championship!

At S3 Power Sports, we don’t just make parts—we make champions. And this year, we’ve proven it by winning the Best in the Desert Racing Championship at the Laughlin Desert Classic! Hailing from Shreveport, Louisiana, our family-owned business is proud to show the world that one of the fastest, toughest desert racing teams calls this town home. It’s been a decade in the making, and after coming so close so many times, this victory is a breath of fresh air for the entire S3 Racing crew.

Meet the Powerhouse Team Behind the Win

This triumph didn’t happen by accident. Leading the charge was our expert driver, Dustin “Battle Axe” Jones, who also happens to be our General Manager. Jones knows the Can-Am Maverick R inside and out, pushing its limits to the max. By his side, co-driver Dustin Henderson—a long-time supporter of S3 Power Sports—helped navigate the grueling course. Our dedicated Crew Chief, Chris Gardner, held everything together with a ragtag crew of diehard friends and family, all of whom poured their hearts into each mile of the desert course.

As a contracted Can-Am Off-Road factory race team, we’re incredibly proud to represent the industry leader in off-road vehicles. Our Can-Am Maverick R was one of the first in the field, showcasing Can-Am’s cutting-edge technology and S3 Power Sports’ own custom-built components. Together, we’re setting new standards in performance and durability, proving that Can-Am isn’t just our sponsor—it’s the backbone of our success.

Built by Us, Powered by the Best

While S3 Power Sports’ custom-designed parts are at the heart of our Can-Am Maverick R, our success is amplified by the support of our world-class sponsors. With the power of Can-Am Off-Road behind us as our primary sponsor, we’re able to push the boundaries of performance in every race. Monster Energy fuels our journey as part of an elite network of racers and athletes, while Maxxis Tires, KMC Wheels, FOX Shocks, Evolution Powersports, and VP Racing Fuels provide the grip, stability, power, and resilience that make us unstoppable in the desert. This combination of premier brands and our own engineering ensures that our machine is ready to tackle the toughest conditions the desert throws at us.
