Maxxis' #549 Beau Baron battled his way
to a 2nd place finish in Moto One, but a
DNF in Moto 2 sent Baron back to 9th overall
on the day, which dropped him back to 4th
in points |
Maxxis / H&M Motorsports’ Beau Baron was
looking good in the first moto as he raced his teammate
to the first turn. Baron went wide and got slowed
up by the soft sands but quickly remounted a charge
and worked his way into second before crossing the
finish line. “I got hung up, but I got by
everyone and I was chasing down David, but I ran
out of time before I could get close enough to make
a pass or anything so I finished in second,”
explained Baron, who recorded the fastest lap time
of the moto.
Moto two did not go as well for Baron. The number
549 Honda rider charged of the start and was wheel
to wheel with his teammate again, but he went
too wide once again and got caught up in the soft
sand. Baron put the hammer down and was gaining
round, but in lap two, he engine gave way and
he was forced to pull off. “I was pretty
disappointed that I couldn’t finish, but
I still had a good day out there and it was a
fun track,” said Baron.
The next round of the 2012 Yamaha Quad X series
will head to SpeedWorld MX in Surprise, AZ on
June 23rd for a Saturday night race, which is
always a favorite for spectators.
