2022 King of the Hammers Results
- Sponsor
- OPTIMA Batteries
- Location
- Johnson Valley, California
The Progressive King of the Hammers, powered by OPTIMA Batteries, has turned into a monster of an event, spanning two weekends, with a multitude of races, as well as concerts and general hijinks one might expect when 100,000 offroaders head out into the desert for some fun. The culmination of this event has long been known as the King of the Hammers (with Progressive as the title sponsor & OPTIMA as the presenting sponsor in 2022), but the 2022 edition saw a name change for the Saturday Ultra4 race to the NITTO Race of Kings, powered by OPTIMA Batteries.
The end result is still the same- awesome offroad action that you'll want to see in person, if you've never been out here. More than 100 vehicles were on the starting grid, but just 26 finished in the allowed time. You can see the finishing order from the 2022 King of the Hammers (or Race of Kings) below, as well as a massive photo gallery that showcases not only the 4400 Ultra4s that race on Saturday, but also some 4500, 4600 & 4800 Ultra4s that race in the 4Wheel Parts Every Man Challenge on Friday, as well as some of the action from the Toyo Desert Challenge from the previous weekend. You can also see another massive photo gallery here.
