#549 Beau Baron grabbed the Pro ATV Holeshot
by edging out #8 Robbie Mitchell by inches,
but Baron would quickly drop back to the
2nd spot before regaining the lead again
in lap two |

#549 Beau Baron held the lead in the final
lap, but a mistake half way through the
lap aloud #1 Josh Frederick to make the
pass for the lead with Baron finishing out
the race in the 2nd spot |
MCR Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron was looking incredibly
fast and smooth. Baron flew off the line and grabbed
the holeshot with Robbie Mitchell right on his tail.
Mitchell was able to make the pass on Baron in the
second turn of the first lap, but Baron wasn’t
about to let him hold the lead and just before the
end of the second lap, Baron took back the lead
and began to pull away.
Baron recorded the fastest lap time of the race
in lap three with a time of 09:21.429, which was
over five seconds faster than anyone else. Baron’s
amazing speed had him pulling a good lead; Baron
had to stop for fuel and dropped back to third.
Baron was able to retake the lead when Josh Frederick
and Jeremie Warnia later stopped to pit. Baron
was looking smooth and it appeared he might take
the win but lap traffic came into play and slowed
Baron’s efforts and ultimately allowed Josh
Frederick to close in and take over the lead,
leaving Baron to settle for second.

#62 Jeremie Warnia attempted to make the
pass on #8 Robbie Mitchell in the WORCS
X section, but his plan back-fired when
he lost control & was tossed off the
side of his quad, but amazingly, Warnia
was able to stay on the gas & only lost
a couple of positions before fully remounting
his DS450 |
Can-Am/Motoworks’ Jeremie Warnia was having
a good race as well. Warnia came off the start in
the top five and was holding a close third behind
Baron early in the race, but Warnia ended up having
issues in the WORCS X section of the track and fell
back. Warnia charged hard and caught back up to
Baron and briefly inherited the lead when Baron
stopped to pit, but fell back again late in the
race when he began to tire. Warnia would hang on
for a third place finish.

/ Motoworks' #62 Jeremie Warnia charged
his way into the lead after #549 Beau Baron
pitted for fuel, but Warnia's lead would
end when he made a pit stop a few laps later
& Warnia would go on to finish in third
place |
“I have been dealing with my injuries from
Washougal still, but I went out there and gave
it everything I had and tried to do my best. I
really want to win the last race of the year and
take a championship,” said Warnia.
