2017 TORC Series Round #7 Bark River Throw Down Bark River, Michigan July 15, 2017

In Pro Stock, Greaves, like he has at every race this season, dominated. After winning the pole, Greaves took the lead at the start and wasn’t seriously challenged from there in his Yamaha. Adam Reek took second from Kenny Masch on lap three and he held on for the runner-up spot. Zach Martin was third, ahead of Masch and Ryan Mulder. The top five drivers were all in Yamahas.

“We just keep making small changes to this Yamaha and keeps getting better,” said Greaves. “This track was slippery; it went blue groove and it came down to picking good lines. We’re so close in this stock class that we’re splitting tenths all of the time. We have the ultimate car. We’re going to keep this going and not let a failure be our own mistake. For running the big track, these things are a lot of fun.”

Adam Reek was running just his second race of the season and scored his first Pro Stock podium. Reek nearly tracked down Greaves at the end.

“I found a spot where Kenny opened up and I squeezed him on the inside,” said Reek. “I latched onto CJ and started following his lines. I picked up on a couple of things he was doing. My spotter told me that Zach was catching me, but I wasn’t slowing down.”

Zach Martin said it took him several laps to nail down the track conditions. Martin powered past Masch on lap six and took third.

“It was a very interesting track today,” said Martin. “Some areas were slick and dusty and others were wet, so it took some time to get used to the conditions. Kenny was playing a defensive line. So we watched what he was doing and I knew when to make my move. We’re sitting a pretty solid second in points and I was sick this morning, so this made for a good result.”

In the Sportsman UTV race, Jacob Rosales made a last-lap pass stick and secured his third victory of the season. He was driving a Yamaha.

“I was pulling him in for a little bit and on that last lap it was all or nothing,” said Rosales. “So I got that last push and got around him. There was a little bumping. He gave it to me a little bit, but I held on.”

The TORC UTV racers will run their second races of the doubleheader weekend on Sunday.
