Beau Baron grabbed
2nd place on the Pro podium at round
6 WORCS at Cahuilla Creek MX Park
|
Bonsall, CA (6/16/2010) - MCR/Maxxis
Tires’ Beau Baron put in a solid performance
to claim second on the Pro podium at round six
of the 2010 WORCS series while David Haagsma and
Keith Johnson would take the number one and two
spots in the Pro-am class and Julie Russell would
take the win in the Women’s A class.
Cahuilla Creek Motocross Park was the hosting
facility where dry dusty condition prevailed
but that didn’t deter Beau Baron as he
charged off the line in third place. Baron soon
found himself in second behind Dustin Nelson
and was able to overtake Nelson when the Yamaha
rider got hung up on a berm. Baron led for most
of the race, but it wasn’t without a fight
as Josh Frederick was challenging him for most
of the race. In the final lap, Baron got caught
behind a slower rider, which allowed Frederick
to get around and force Baron to settle for
second. “I’m looking forward to
going back up to Washington. I like racing in
the woods and I think it gives me an advantage,”
said Baron who is determined to take the win
at round seven and try to take back the points
lead.

Josh Row's 4th
place overall finish on the day put
him up into the 3rd slot in the Pro
points chase
|
Josh Row was on a mission as well as he charged
from the back of the pack to finish in the top
five. Row started out in twelfth place off the
line, but he put the hammer down and worked
his way to the number five spot by the midway
point and soon after that he would take over
fourth and hold his position for several laps
before crossing the finish line. Row’s
amazing consistency this season has him sitting
in third place in the Pro points chase.
MCR/Maxxis team manager Mike Cafro had a solid
race as well. Cafro was dead last off the line,
but put his head down and charged his way to
the number five spot where he would stay until
reaching the checkered flag.

Team Manager Mike
Cafro had his work cut out for him as
he was last out of the holeshot but
put his nose to the grindstone and moved
all the way up to 5th place overall
|
Cafro is currently holding down the number six spot in points, but could work
his way to the top five before the end of the
season if things go well for him. “At the
last round I stopped and helped another rider
who was pinned under his quad and that put me
back in points, but I’ll be doing my best
out there to make up for it,” stated Cafro.
Levi Marana was looking good and holding a
mid-pack pace, but Marana would encounter issues
and drop back for a thirteenth place finish.
Despite missing a round earlier in the season,
Marana is still within the top ten in the pro
points race.
David Haagsma and Keith Johnson were on fire
in the Pro-am class as the pair would charge
hard and dominate the Pro-am podium. Haagsma,
who has been doing double duty by racing at
the AMA ATV Motocross Championships has really
picked up a lot of speed and has been an almost
unstoppable force as he picked up his fourth
win of the season at round six, giving him an
incredible 47 point lead. Keith Johnson has
also proved that he has what it takes as his
second place finish this round has put him in
a comfortable second in Pro-am points.

Julie Russell has
been on fire ever since round 2 as she
took her fifth straight win at round
6
|
Women’s A racer Julie Russell took her
fifth straight win of the season at round six
and if all goes well, she could be wrapping
up the championship early. Julie has done a
great job so far this year and we are very proud
of her and we are hoping she will bring the
championship to the team,” stated Mike
Cafro.
The MCR/Maxxis team will be heading to the
state of Washington for round seven of the 2010
WORCS series, which will be held on July 24th
– 25th at Straddleline ORV Park where
Beau Baron will try to take the Pro win.
