Race day returned in Westphalia, Missouri, welcoming
139 racers for the fourth round of the Ozark Cross
Country ATV Racing series. In the morning PeeWee
and Women’s classes, 15 racers battled against
their competition and chilly, windy conditions.
Women’s class Hannah Payne took her second
win of the season and a commanding point lead while
PeeWee Pro class point leader, Travis Gromowski,
clinched his third win this season. In a
tight battle at the first turn, off the start
of the afternoon classes, it was once again Kyle
Martin who motored ahead of the Pro pack to clinch
the Fastrax Motorsports hole shot award and begin
his four-lap lead over the remaining eight Pro
racers. Spectators scattered over the 7.5 mile
course to watch the racers battle the tight twists
and turns through the woods.

In a five-lap race for the podium’s top
spots, it was Carson Coffman in an early battle
behind Martin with Derrick Schrock, Zac Johnson,
and Todd Senger closing in. On lap two Johnson
moved ahead of Schrock and they continued to have
a tight race. As lap three came to a close, Senger,
who had a last place start off the line and problems
early in the race, had charged through the Pro
class to take control of second place, less than
one minute behind Martin. In the late stages of
the race, spectators saw Coffman fall to fifth
place with Schrock in fourth and Johnson securing
the third spot.
As the Pro-Am class mixed into the race for the
overall, spectators saw a lead change in the final
lap when leader Kyle Martin found himself out
of the race with mechanical problems. It was Todd
Senger, aboard his Precision PowerSports Honda
450R, who took home the Pro class and overall
victory, followed by Zac Johnson, Derrick Schrock,
Carson Coffman, and Matt Olson closing out the
top five overall.
