WORCS Racing ATV Race Report

H&M Motorsport’s David Haagsma pinched out Robbie Mitchell and took the Pro ATV holeshot. Haagsma was looking strong and fast as he kept a blistering pace for most of the race, but that pace came with a price. “I had the holeshot and a great lead thanks to my Curtis Sparks engine. I was out front for most of the race and I don’t know what happened, but my hands got so blistered and torn up, I could hardly hold on anymore and I ended up slowing a bit. I still finished in second so I am pretty happy with that,” said Haagsma.

LMR Racing’s Robbie Mitchell, who is known for getting good starts, was bar to bar with David Haagsma off the line, but got pinched out of the holeshot in the first turn. Mitchell would eventually drop back to third place, which he held to the checkered flag for another podium finish. “That’s two podium finishes in row. I’ve had two in a row before, but not this early in the season so this is really a big deal for me. They had the bikes go first off the start and they said that we probably wouldn’t catch up to them, but David and I caught them in the first lap and they got between us and caused me to lose some time out there, but it was still a good race, and I made the podium, so I am excited for that,” said Mitchell.

Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller didn’t get the start he was looking for and had to battle it out with Josh Row for the first two laps. “Josh and I were really battling and we caught up to a bunch of bikes and I was able to get past and pulled away a bit. My Duncan Racing engine was running strong and my Elka shocks and Roll design suspension was really great out there today. I’m looking forward to the next round at Peoria because they have a good MX track so it should be a good race,” said Fuller, who claimed a fourth place finish.

This weekend couldn’t have been more challenging for Josh Row after his father Greg suffered a heart attack during SxS practice on Friday. Mr. Row is expected to make a full recovery, but he remained in the hospital during Sunday’s races. Despite his thoughts being elsewhere, Josh Row lined up for Sunday’s race. “It was kind of on my mind the whole time, but I went out there and just tried to do my best. I’m looking forward to Peoria and I am hoping to turn things around there,” said Josh Row, who rounded out the top five.
