TORC's Red Bud Rumble Round 10 UTV Race Report
::Continued::

Chaney made several runs on Greaves, but wasn’t able to make a move stick. One of those moves nearly ended in disaster for the points leader.

Kyle Chaney TORC Pro UTV Racing

Maxxis' Kyle Chaney missed his suspension setup, which had him struggling to keep up with CJ Greaves

“Our suspension was way off today,” said Chaney. “I was really beating on the car today, but luckily I’m in a Can-Am and it can take it. “I gave CJ a run because my car worked on half of the track. On the other part of the track, it wasn’t working and I knew if I pushed it that something was going to happen. I tried, but I ended up busting the floorboard out. It got stuck behind the brake pedal so when I went through this left hander I had no brakes. I had to use both feet to push the floorboard back down. We need to do some testing and figure out the suspension. We have speed and the car is good, we just need some fine tuning.”

Kyle Chaney TORC Pro UTV Racing

Can-am's Kyle Chaney secured the second spot ahead of Rodney VanEperen to make up some points he lost on Saturday in the TORC points championship

VanEperen pulled to the start line before the race and his power steering promptly quit. He muscled his Yamaha through the course and held off Farr to score the final spot on the podium and stay in championship contention.

Yamaha's Rodney VanEperen battled power steering to secure the final spot on the podium

“We had a little problem at the start, but the rest of this Yamaha is bullet proof and pulled us through,” said VanEperen. “Honestly, I was blocking Tim Farr. We didn’t have power steering and I couldn’t even hold onto the steering wheel. I apologize to him. We were trying to salvage points in this race and we’ll take third all day long in this situation. We just need to keep staying on the box. Kyle is just Mr. Consistency and I can’t take anything away from him. He has a great program, but we’ll keep chugging away and see what we can do.”

Tim Farr TORC Pro UTV Racing

JB Racing's Tim Farr finished in the 4th spot

Zakowski recovered from a hard crash in Saturday’s race to finish fifth on Sunday. He was making a charge to fourth when his shifter broke and he had to run the final lap in third gear.

Zac Zakowski TORC Pro UTV Racing

Kenda's Zac Zakowski rounded out the top five on Sunday at Red Bud

“I made a run on Tim Farr and broke my shifter, so I was stuck in third the whole last lap,” said Zakowski. “We went into that tight left, downshifted, stabbed the throttle and there was just nothing there. I would have had Tim if it didn’t break. Considering the day we had yesterday—we got hit in a pileup and we weren’t sure we’d be able to race today because the cage was so bent up—we’ll take that.”
