CHAPTER 358 Ft. Brock Heger

from Gypsy Tales

Brock Heger joins us for Chapter 358. A world-renowned UTV racer, Baja 1000 champion, and DAKAR Rally winner, Brock has quietly built one of the most impressive résumés in off-road racing. His calm and collected mindset behind the wheel is what helped him conquer the toughest race on the planet—Dakar—on his very first attempt. Brock’s not loud, he’s lethal. A driver who lets the results do the talking, and who only shows up for one reason: to win. This is two hours with Brock Heger.
