2017 WORCS Racing Round #5 - The Orleans Casino April 2, 2017 Las Vegas, NV

In Pro Stock, run on Sunday, chaos again ensued. Baron, Bulloch, Bradbury and Granlund led the field from the front row and all four tangled on the first lap. Baron held the early lead before flipping over a few turns in after contact with Bulloch. Bulloch and Granlund swapped the lead back and forth till Granlund lost a wheel giving the point to Bulloch. From there, Bulloch dominated.

After a disappointing showing in the Pro race, Bulloch had to drive home to Cedar City, UT to deal with a family issue. In his absence, Bulloch’s team completely changed the setup on his Polaris. Bulloch continues to lead the Pro Stock points, now by 19 ahead of Baron and Anderson.

After a rough race on Saturday in the Pro SXS class, Ray Bulloch came on strong on Sunday in the Pro Stock SXS Class to take the early lead

“My mechanic Rusty went the extra mile and he nailed the setup,” said Bulloch. “It was a gnarly race. This course had everything and we pulled it off.”

“I just held it together today,” said Wells. “Everyone was just sort of falling apart, which was easy to do. I made a few passes and I started to move up.”

Shelby Anderson scored her first career podium. In the process, she became the second woman racer in WORCS history to finish on a Pro podium after Sierra Romo finished third in the last race. Anderson used the skills she honed in the TerraCross Series to successfully navigate the tight course.

Walker Evans Racing's Shelby Anderson claimed the final spot on the Pro Stock SXS Podium to go along with her 5th place finish in the Pro SXS Class on Saturday

“I’ve had some pretty bad luck this year, so pulling off a third in my first year in Pro is more than I could have asked for,” said Anderson, who now sits third in points. “Knowing that I caught all of these guys, I was happy to get this. It’s pretty cool how Sierra and I are showing how we can run with these Pro drivers, especially considering this is our first year. This race was a lot like TerraCross. I just held my pace, took care of my car and brought home second.”

Sparks Racing's Matt Hancock just missed the final spot on the Podium in the 4th spot after time adjustments
