San Marcos, CA (6/22/2017)
- Polaris RZR Racing’s Seth Quintero led half
of the race before finishing second in the
WORCS SXS 1000 race at Glen Helen Raceway
in Devore, CA. The young phenom is now second
in points going into the final two races of
the season.
Quintero drove his BFGoodrich Tires to the
holeshot at the start of the race. Despite
the rough and hot conditions, he was charging
in clean air before finishing second.

“My BFGoodrich Tires hooked up really well
and pulled me into the holeshot,” said Quintero.
“That allowed me to be in clean air up front.
We kept pushing and pushing, but unfortunately
we couldn’t hold first the whole time. The
points are really close, we’re looking to
stay consistent and go after that championship.”
The Glen Helen course features one of WORCS
best motocross courses with several big air
jumps. Walker Evans Shocks allowed Quintero
to run wide open and go big in the motocross
section.

Evans Racing’s Seth Quintero scored
a 2nd Place finish |
“Without those Walker Evans Shocks I think
my back would be broken with all of those
jumps,” said Quintero. “It was fun going out
there, use the power and go as big as we could.
The Polaris RZR ran great. The SuperATV Axles
held up perfectly. The BFGoodrich Tires, Walker
Evans Wheels; everything just felt really
good out there. We’re just looking forward
to getting that first win.”
Quintero took some time to have fun during
the weekend. In celebration of Father’s Day,
he “raced” against his dad in practice and
then spent some time at the beach.

2nd place in the points championship
heading into the final two rounds of
the WORCS season |
“Maybe I won, maybe I didn’t,” said Quintero
with a laugh. “It was good memories. We also
took a break and went to the beach. Joey D
from UTV Underground took out the boat and
had a good time.”
WORCS now heads into it’s two-month summer
break. Quintero won’t be taking much time
off as he tests in preparation for the next
race in September. Glen Helen is his home
track and the next race will be run here.
“During the break, we’re going to test in
this heat,” said Quintero. “It’s the best
time to get the kinks out of the car when
it’s hot.”
Quintero will return to action, hunting for
that elusive first victory as the series returns
to Glen Helen September 8-10.
