Jim Beaver is a professional off-road racer, currently campaigning a factory-backed Polaris RZR in the UTV Unlimited class in desert races across the United States. He is also the host of the General Tire Down & Dirty Show Powered By Polaris RZR, the world’s biggest action motorsports radio show, which airs twice weekly on Sirius XM, on terrestrial radio stations across America, and on the Armed Forced Network. Beaver’s additional experience behind the wheel includes numerous years in Trophy Truck action, and he has lent his voice to multiple racing disciplines, both as an announcer at the track and on national television.
Jim Beaver eSports made its debut in 2019 in what is now known as the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, and expanded later that year into four other iRacing World Championships. During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the team staged the eShort Course World Cup, an all-star event that put racing legends like Travis Pastrana, Ron Capps, and Alexander Rossi against top sim racers and off-road pros. The event was so popular that it spawned a full-blown Triple Crown just weeks later, and all three races returned for 2021, including the TV debut for the World Cup on the CBS Sports Network in February. Jim Beaver eSports also has a two-car franchise in the iRacing Rallycross World Championship.
