Tempe, AZ (5/29/2015) -
Pro Motorsports’ Matt Hancock claimed
a third place finish in the Open A class and
fourth in Pro-am at round six of the 2015 WORCS
series at Iron Mine Race park in Cedar City,
UT, while Jeff Hancock finished fourth in the
Pro ATV class.
In Saturday’s Open A class, Matt Hancock
was in second off the start and chasing down
the leader. “My Maxxis tires hooked up and
my Sparks engine ripped off the line,” said
Hancock.

Hancock held the number two spot for half
of the race before dropping back to third.
“At the midway point, I fell back to third
and I stayed there the rest of the way. I’m
not too happy about finishing third, but I
got valuable points and it helped me prepare
for the Pro-am race,” said Hancock, who is
second in points in the Open a class.
In Sunday’s Pro-am race, Pro Motorsports’
Matt Hancock was in third off the start but
in the third corner, Hancock was hit from
behind by another rider and the two quads
got stuck together, sending Hancock to the
back of the pack. “I had a great start and
someone came into me and we got hooked up.
It took a while to separate us so I was dead
last. I got back on though and just put my
head down and pushed hard. Some of the slower
traffic was tough to deal with and I was pretty
bummed because I was ready for this race,
but I was able to get back up to fourth,”
said Hancock, who is still in second in points
despite the setback.

Hancock's charge slowed when he was
hit from behind, which sent him a minute

the Pro-Am race |
“I always want the win, but that didn’t happen
this weekend. I am still happy that I was
able to get some decent points. I am going
to be training hard over the break and I’m
looking forward to the next round and I’m
hoping for a win,” said Hancock.
In the Pro ATV class, Jeff Hancock had a
solid race and ended is day in the number
four spot. “I’ve been doing better each race
and I am going to be practicing with Matt
over the break so hopefully I can get in the
top three. Overall today was really fun. I
loved the track and my Maxxis tires and Elka
shocks worked great out there,” said Jeff
Hancock.

In the SxS Pro class, Matt Hancock had a
mid-pack start and was looking good as he
drove a solid race to round out the top five.
“I had a decent start and I just tried to
race my own race. My Elka shocks worked great
out there and my Maxxis tires really hooked
up in the mud. I am really happy with finishing
fifth. It helped a lot in points so I am just
going to try to keep improving,” said Hancock,
who also claimed seventh in the SxS Unlimited
class.
