Cameron Dickie turned heads at the 2026 Ultra4 Badlands Brawl in Attica, Indiana, taking the 4900 UTV Pro Mod Class win in the first outing for a custom race built Kawasaki Teryx®4 H2. After a 10 hour haul from Norfolk, Nebraska, the team arrived with a fresh Podium 1 Engineering build, which was converted from a four-seat into a two-seat race car, and immediately went to work finalizing the car to pass tech. With help from friends, they made the deadline and rolled straight into qualifying Friday morning, where Dickie, with virtually no seat time, put down a clean 1:55 lap to qualify fifth out of 14. Overnight rain reshaped the course, bringing mud, standing water, and slick rock sections into play, but Dickie stuck with a mostly stock setup, trusting the durability of the Kawasaki platform.

With his brother Liam Dickie on co-driver duties, coming off a second-place finish the night before, the duo settled in as the race got underway, building speed and confidence as they learned the car in real time. An early reroute around a blocked section moved them into fourth, and from there they kept charging forward, working into podium position by the end of Lap 1. On Lap 2, Dickie caught Ultra4 veteran Paul Wolff and made a decisive move through a mud section with limited visibility, taking over the lead and holding strong through the technical rock sections. The battle stayed tight into the final laps, where Wolff briefly got back around, but Dickie answered in the rock quarry by committing to the high-risk “Hero Line”. Despite this climb taking out multiple competitors, Dickie refused to fall victim, clearing it cleanly to reclaim the lead in front of a packed crowd. From there, he held on to take the checkered flag, locking in both the physical and corrected overall win in a breakout performance.

Still soaking it in, Dickie called the result surreal, given the circumstances of an untested car, minimal setup changes, and running in a reduced power mode. With more performance still to unlock, this win marks a major step forward and sets the tone for what’s ahead as he continues to develop and progress through the remainder of the series.
