David Haagsma Takes the Win to Clinch SXS Championship

Bakersfield, CA (10/27/2016) - H&M Motorsports’ David Haagsma won the season finale WORCS Off Road Series Pro SXS race, and in the process, clinched the championship. Haagsma won one of the most competitive points chases in WORCS history where six drivers came into the final event with a legitimate shot at the title.

Haagsma, who was running full time in the AMA ATV National Championship this season along with the WORCS Pro SXS class, dominated the race from start to finish. He earned his third victory of the season and nabbed the championship by one point.

“We came into this race two points behind Mickey Thomas and we knew it was going to come to him and I battling for the lead,” said Haagsma. “He’s an amazing driver. We’ve had battles all year. He’s had some issues and I’ve had some issues. So to win by one point is amazing.”

With the title on the line, Haagsma’s machine was the quickest off the line. He was just about untouchable during the race.

“I have to thank Sparks and Maxxis Tires,” said Haagsma. “The car just hooked up right at the start. I knew I had a good chance. I just watched my pace and tried not to break the car. I was definitely watching Mickey. I made sure I had a comfortable gap so as long as I didn’t make a mistake I’d get the win.”

Haagsma adds another title to his impressive resume, which includes titles in both WORCS ATVs and the SXS development classes. He said he is going to focus on the ATV National Championship in 2017 and may only run select WORCS races.

“We’ve had a lot of success during my WORCS career,” said Haagsma. “This will probably be my last year racing the RZR. I’m going to focus on racing ATVs back east. I’ve had a lot of luck in Pro Am, and Pro in ATVs and all of the lower classes in SXS racing, so to get this one makes me very happy. I just want to do one 100% back east and see how things work out.”

Haagsma will compete in the full AMA ATV Motocross National Championship next season as he chases after the number one plate in pro motocross.
