FIRST | 2024 King Of The Hammers (FULL STORY)

- FIRST, the story of my experience at King Of The Hammers this year. KOH is never easy. It's typically always hectic, full of surprises, frustration, highs, and lows. This year was certainly the epitome of that. From finishing first in the UTV race for the 4th year in a row in the new Maverick R, to finishing physical first in the 4400 race shortly before encountering nearly an hour worth of penalties, KOH 2024 was a wild ride.

Hammer King productions really needs to figure out course markers, there is more missed VCP's during a KOH race than any of the Baja races. It seems to be an issue year after year, if a "Trail" is missed by more than half of the field it should be staked off with the typical orange arrows to signify the correct trail. AND to threaten to disqualify someone for it? Not a good look. You'll get em next year no doubt.
I can imagine us racers are like trying to herd cats, I know it’s hard for them to put up arrows in spots because of how hard the ground is. I think they did like 6 revisions of the map. It’s definitely tough, because the rule book says one thing, they say something different in the drivers meeting then by the end of the drivers meeting they change or add stipulations to what they said at the beginning of the meeting.
This was such an impressive and well documented video of the whole experience. I for sure look up to you after this last KOH and we were there cheering you on! Great job brother!
Thank you!! My media guy puts in just as much or more work as the rest of us.
Would love to do a podcast with you if youre down! What part of the country do you live in?
Good Job on Kicking Ass on 4400 Class, we watched you come in first and are Pissed about politics in racing, but to have UTV Come in #1 is Bad Ass, Go CAN-AM, Keep up the great attitude and win in 2025!
Thank you! Definitely some political BS but I gave them the opportunity to penalize me. I’ll be prepared now
Your 4400 hands down the best race I have ever seen. I race desert UTV and I can only imagine how the million dollar programs would react if a UTV came in first. Those rock jocks should be very concerned about the future of UTV wins in 4400. They NEED better course markers. Everyone knows that when you dealing with a GPS 10' off line is almost imposable to see. I know with your laser focus that you will be back and even stronger. Horsepower and money doesn't win races, heart and drive does and they better up their game if they want to beat you in the future. Cheers
dude you're awesome. Watching this on the livestream was the best race i've ever seen live. I hope you smoke 4400 next year. we'll all be watching!
Thank you!!
When I think of KOH, Kyle is the racer I think of. Such a beast man
Thank you!
Amazing video! So proud to have been a small part of your success! 👊
Very interested in your products to run on my CanAM here in Wisconsin!
Glad we could work together this year! It’s only the beginning
Just wait until you can fit 37” tires on the R, 4400 cars will really be scared. Congrats on the W! Tough break in the x3 but you’ll know what you gotta do next year. Don’t give them any chance to pick it apart!
Thank you!! Oh we will have big tires on the R next year
Thanks for taking the time to get your crew on camera - the unsung heros in so many events. Looks like you have a fantastic team and looking forward to seeing you guys giving it your all in JV 2025.
I do have a great team! it takes a whole village to compete in this event!
Humility is one thing and yours is off the charts. Being screwed over by bullshit x10 penalties is another. If they arent careful they will start to get same rep as the mint 400 and their bullshit tech calls.
This is one of the best desert racing/rock crawling videos I have seen. Great job on the video and the race. I’m definitely a fan!!
Thank you! I can’t take any credit. My media guy Blake makes it all happen.
@@kylechaney191 Well… I think you guys make a good team.
I totally agree!
I totally agree!
Awesome story Kyle You sir a wheel man forsure
Thank you!
So awesome to have you come across the line first.
Was looking forward to next year as soon as it was over.
I know it' and the racers are only getting better!
We are looking forward to it also!! Thank you!
Thank you for explaining all the stuff regarding the penalties. Now i understand way better how complicated it was to navigate through this stuff.
Yea next season we will be spending a lot of time with the gps, making sure we don’t make any mistakes
It was a hell of a show you put on. Be proud. Everything you do is a stepping stone to the next. Learn , grow, and I look forward to next year and see you bring it.
Thank you!!
That ROK was the craziest race i have ever watched in my 40 years! Everytime something crazy happened and i didnt think anything else could happen... it did. I will never forget it. Your perseverance is top level. Cant wait to watch you next year!
Thank you! Was definitely a crazy race
The story line and everything you did on the clock was incredible. Thank you for taking the time to entertain us and show us the details! I bet Dave filed the red card himself. Such a UTV hater. You could hear it in his voice when you took the lead the first time. When Lauren passed you he was so relieved. If half the field misses a vcp, that is 100% on him.
Yea none of us are out there wanting to miss any of the track. We’re trying to find the fastest line within the guidelines of the rules. Well maybe by next year we will make Dave a utv fan lol
Awesome vid🤙🏁
You and the team did a great job at the race and on this video. Thanks for sharing Kyle!
Thank you!!
Congratulations, Kyle! Want to thank you for doing these video's, great seeing behind the scenes, struggles and success.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you
Grateful to have witnessed this years race.
Rocket 🚀 Man Kyle Chaney is awesome, Congratulations Kyle

Thanks for bringing us along Kyle! Great video, awesome car!!! Wish you the best of luck and looking forward to seeing you here in the Midwest again!!!!!!
Thank you!!
Great video. Incredible drives you did and the team is thebest.
Thank you!
That was awesome to watch..
Yea, if nothing else, we put on a good show
incredible!
This was excellent! Top-notch production quality!👍👍
Blake always does great work. Thank you
Dude you're a goddamn legend! I'm looking forward to meeting you next year at KOH. Watching all of your videos has made me want to try it in my X3. I think it's awesome you had Cash as your co-dog too! I want to see him out there in his bouncer one of these years!
Thanks man!! See ya next year
Heck yea! Great job! 💪🏻💪🏻
Thank yiu
Wow this is such a well made video! Man I was screaming at my TV that whole last hour. I still can’t believe a little X3 damn near won the entire KOH. That was the craziest KOH ever
Lots of screens got yelled at that last hour lol
Thank you
Awesome story Kyle well done mate & team.
Thank you!
@@kylechaney191your welcome mate would love to go to see it one year from Australia.
That was Rad in person and in retrospect. Outstanding work gentlemen!
Thank you!!
Great job Guys!! So good to see Cash out there growing within the Sport! Great job Cash Lecroy! Came a long way from the single seat 800s buggy!Lol!
Cash is the man! 🙌
Kyle and team, awesome race i was cheering from the edge of my computer chair at work.
Thank you
Man, this video is nuts! Honestly not a utv fan but you are showing what can be done! What an excellent presentation! Your driving skills are exceptional! I think everyone was given a lesson this year! Well done!
Thank you!! Still a long ways to go!
You are the man absolute win for the underdog really proved out and put some respect on sxs. Can’t wait to see you next year! What a race!
Glad we were able to put on a good show for everyone. Thank you
That's a rad video! I gotta admit, from what it sounded like before, I thought you cut out a lot more trail to earn those penalties. My GPS was well mounted, and I had a hard time reading it. It must have been nearly impossible to read yours. What a dramatic and exciting story you have!
See ya next year... maybe in a stock class maverick (thanks for making me want one so bad, ya stinker!).
Yea, I feel like it was played out on the live stream to make it sound like we missed most the course, what kinda of got to me as I replayed the live, one of the Gomez missed a vcp and they explained live how it was ok, it’s just a 5min penalty he did not cut any track, but when it was me, It was portrayed like I missed full trails and I was cutting track.
@@kylechaney191 Uptown is a named trail, albeit short. Therefore you did miss a “full trail”. Stop portraying that you were wrongly penalized and single out or something. You DID NOT run the full race course everyone else that finished in front of you did for the 2024 ROK and got penalized for it. Simple as that. Lucky you didn’t get DQ’d for intentional short coursing.
Very nice driving in all races 👍👍
Thank you
Very impressive, that pass in outer limits was definitely a highlight for me! Incredible story I just watched!
Thank you! KOH is a exciting event
🎉🎉🎉 congratulations
Full support from your new fan in Ghana 🇬🇭
Thank you!!
The 4400 was wild to watch.....I thought you had it!! We raced the UTV rocks and missed Uptown for the same reason. The trails converged at the VCP so we had no clue. We finished 10th overall and you had an our on us. I couldn't imagine being an our faster...you are one bad dude. It was our first time at hammers and minus the mud we had a blast. I love the back story thanks for letting us in!
Top 10 that’s awesome!! Congrats, just finishing hammers is an accomplishment, especially your first year. I DNF my first year, so you’re already doing better than me. Good luck next year
Best part was the man praying over you guys
After seeing how close you came in the 4400 race, and all the bs you guys had to put up with, it reminded me of the year you broke your foot. I heard you in a podcast talking about that race and how you was focused the rest of the year getting ready to go back. I could see it in your eyes during this video how serious you are about the next 4400 race at KOH. I feel like determined is an understatement. Go get em!
We definitely will be putting everything we’re capable of into it! Going to be a long year of preparation
The People’s Champ!
Loved the video. Are you guys not allowed to run limit straps in the 4400 class? Could have saved your shock.
We are, just have never needed them. They were definitely brought up in preparation design for next year
Awesome!! Congrats!! Can't wait to see you in Antigo and Crandon. Stay blessed. Congrats to you and the team. Don't beat yourself up so much
Thank you!! I’m excited for champ to start myself
Awesome video! You’re definitely one of the most skilled drivers out there that I’ve seen. Much respect by you for not trying to make excuses. Good luck next year!
Thank you!! No excuse will change my result. Only thing that can change that is putting in the work for next year
Pretty proud of my neighbor kid!
Thank you
Don’t be so hard on yourself man you won your race and did outstanding in the 4400 race. You may have made some mistakes but you sure proved what a driver you are!
Appreciate that! We are not going to let it get us down
Amazing races to watch live like always man. You couldn't write a more intense story if you tried. Hoping to see you at champ shame the mav R wont be viable untill maybe mid season review at best.
Thank you! Yea we’re hoping to get the R working in short course
Great video. I’m sure with time, you guys will win 4400
Damn sure going to give it 💯
Awesome video.
Race courses should be marked clearly. Y’all are Chasing a fish finder around the toughest terrain in the world at the fastest pace possible, missing a vcp by 50 foot is bull shit.
Most excited I’ve been watching a utv race in a long time.
Cheers champ
Thank you! Yes out of all the effort that goes into this event I think they could spend a tad more time making the gps file
My algorithm has been promoting this to me big time.. I finally have time let’s see what it’s all about
I gotta say I really enjoy watching you drive Mr Cheney thank you for the content and may you continue to enjoy what you’re doing for many years
Thank you
can you tell us WHAT ALL you changend at your car vs the original ? we in europe just receifed the mav r and have no experience...so yours are ahead
CT built the cage, fuel cell, radius rods, front Lower A arms. Gusseted trailing arms, e2r sway bar, Nost fox shocks, RCV ball joints, factory utv skid plates, a tune and that’s pretty much it.
Let us get you some good PTFE brake lines routed perfectly
We will be building a new car here soon! Could possibly use some!!
Awesome work you guys! The infested politics involved from the race itself doesn’t make your effort any less awesome.👍🏻
Thank you!
They took the difference between the average and best driver for 1 penalty, but the worst and best for the other penalty?
They added the guy that rolled over into the average so it made the amount of gain go up quite a bit.
If you used GPS North up mode instead of track up, you would not be missing trails.
This was the first time we used Garmin. I’ll definitely change that. Thank you
The question is no longer if a UTV can win 4400. Instead it is now who will be the first win 4400 in a UTV.
It’s very possible
That is such bull shit,you guys kicked their ass.
We had some good luck and some bad luck. Good choices and a few mistakes. We have a lot to improve on
Ha ha, sounds like I need to team up with Hubert, the rest of y'all are out of your minds.
Hey Cheney, this is Darcy. I was the one that shook your hand last year when you wanted it at chocolate Valley. I shook your hand after the interview and the next day you raced in one this year I was up at chocolate watching you were in the rain and watched you come up the hill Enjoyed the race. Glad you won. 👍
Thank you!!
King of "the" hammers*
By the way, Cheaney, this is Darcy again I know you missed your hunting every year when you gotta come up here to race I I had rumors or somebody told me that the deer hunting starts around the same time King Of The Hammers does I’m 100 200 all my lifeand hunt mule deer Blacktail
Yes, deer season starts here in September and that’s right when we begin KOH testing
