In the Expert UTV race, Chris Deshon grabbed
the holeshot, but was quickly challenged for the
lead several racers, and in the first lap, he
swapped the lead with Dwight Hughes several times,
but Deshon was able to regain the lead and hold
it to the finish line for the win followed by
Dwight Hughes in the second spot.

was able to make the final pass for the
win

Josh Tatman started on the second row, 30 seconds
behind the lead row, but he was able to charge
his way with to the final spot on the podium in
the third spot. Mitch Ray of RCR Powersports and
Kyle Raley of Ransom Speed Shop, were putting
down some serious work, Kyle is a Team RMURA driver
and he was fast and flying high, taking the "Biggest
jump" award.
The final race of the day was the Powder puff
class with five racers showing up, which is the
largest turnout yet for this class. These ladies
weren’t playing, as they pushed each other
hard, and didn’t have any issues catching
some big air over the jumps, and in the end, it
was Kaitlyn Hughes taking home the win followed
by Jenny Peil in second, and Rebecca Rector rounded
out the top three. We are excited to watch this
class get bigger with every race!
All in all, it was a fantastic day for both racers
and fans alike, and RMURA series heads back to
Colorado Off-Road Extreme in Agate, CO for round
four on August 8th, and just over a month later,
the series will return to Grand Junction Motor
Speedway for round five on September 12th with
a new track to once again challenge the racers.
