Glen
Helen Raceway was host to Round 7 of the
2009 WORCS Series

San Bernardino, CA - The intense
heat of the southern California desert led to the
demise of many a machine at round seven of the 2009
WORCS series, but Can-Am Motoworks’ Jeremie
Warnia managed to pull off the Pro ATV win, while
his teammate Dillon Zimmerman wrapped up the 2009
Pro-am Championship with his podium finish.
Glen Helen was the hosting facility for this
round, which is notorious for its rough track
conditions and horsepower robbing sand but that
didn’t stop Jeremie Warnia from making a
hard charge for the Pro win.

Can-Am Motoworks’ Warnia was second off
the line behind Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson,
but Warnia made his move shortly into the first
lap and took over the lead. Once he was in front,
Warnia began to pull away and led from start to
finish. Warnia’s win now has him in third
place in the points race, only one point behind
teammate Josh Frederick. “It was a rough
race. It was really hot and the track was very
rough. I just tried to stay focused and keep my
lead,” said Warnia.

into the lead by the end of the 1st lap
where he stayed for the rest of the race
to claim his second win of the season, but
once he crossed the finish line, Warnia
surrendered himself to the water hose for
some relief from the 100+ degree heat

of the year, which extended his points lead
to 21 points over 2X Defending Champion,

MCR’s Beau Baron was in fifth place off
the start and held his position for two laps before
making a charge through traffic. “It was
really dusty, and all the guys in second through
like seventh place were really bunched up so I
was taking my time and trying to ride smart before
going for the front,” said Baron, who made
his way into second by the sixth lap. “Once
I got into second, I started to gain some ground
on Warnia, but he had a good lead and I didn’t
have enough time to try and catch him,”
Baron stated.
The number 3 Honda rider is now in a 21 point
lead and only needs to finish in the top ten at
the final round to take his first WORCS Pro Championship.
“I plan to ride smart at the last round.
I want to go out there and finish the race and
win the championship!” said Baron.
