About Kaden Wells

Kaden Wells is a professional off-road racing driver based in Utah, competing at the top level of desert racing with RISQ Racing, a championship-winning, family-run team. Racing the No. 2935 Can-Am Maverick R in SCORE International's Pro UTV FI class, Kaden has built one of the most consistent records in the sport — six SCORE Baja championships, back-to-back UTV Overall Championships, and the 2025 Overall Four Wheel Vehicle Points Championship.

Kaden's technical driving ability transcends terrain and vehicle, with results spanning SCORE International, Best in the Desert, SNORE, NORRA, and UNLTD competition. He races alongside his wife and co-driver, Emma Wells, forming one of the sport's few male/female driver duos delivering both podium finishes and consistent digital engagement to their partners.

Where it started

Kaden has been racing since he was three years old. He came up through BMX and competed internationally before moving to off-road racing in 2017. He's spent most of his life on a start line, and that early discipline still shows in how he races.

Driving style

Known industry-wide as competitive, prepared, honest, and committed, Kaden has earned SCORE's Milestone Award — given for finishing every mile of every race — eight times, a reflection of the consistency that defines his approach behind the wheel.

Off the track: Wells Custom Construction

When he's not racing, Kaden works alongside his family at Wells Custom Construction, building high-end custom homes. It's the same attention to detail and mechanical intuition that shows up in his race prep — the discipline of getting it right, whether it's a chassis or a foundation. I lend a hand on the job site when I can — consider it off-season training for both of us.
