2012 WORCS ATV Racing Round #6 - On the Edge Raceway June 17, 2012 Enterprise, Utah

Spark Racing's #422 David Haagma quickly took over the lead on the MX course followed by #341 Brian Wolf, #549 Beau Baron & #8 Robbie Mitchell

“I’ve always wanted to come out and see what the WORCS series was all about. This track was more like a GNCC style track so I felt right at home. I wasn’t really ready for the heat, but I still felt good out there and it was pretty cool to come out here and get a win. I really want to thank everyone out here for cheering us on and everyone who helped us come out here and race today; it was a lot of fun,” said Wolf.

Maxxis/H&M Motorsports’ Beau Baron is known for his exceptional abilities in tight, technical courses and those skills came through for Baron at this round. “I had a decent start, but I saw I had David Haagsma, Robbie Mitchell and Brian Wolf in front of me, so I knew I had my work cut out for me. I tried to catch up, but it seemed like every water crossing I came to, and there were a lot of them, my quad started bogging out and no matter how I tried to get through the water, it seemed like there was just no good way to do it,” said Baron.

Baron stayed on the gas and despite getting stuck a couple of times, he managed to close in on Robbie Mitchell who was holding down second. “I started reeling him in and then he got stuck and it was just long enough for me to get by. I pulled a little gap on him before the next lap, but then I got stuck. I jumped off my quad and started pulling with everything I had to get out before he caught back up and I got loose and jumped back on and pulled out right in front of Robbie,” explained Baron.

From there, Baron was able to pull away and take second at the checkered flag. “It was basically survival mode out there and I have to thank Maxxis Tires, H&M Motorsports and everyone for helping me get through this race,” said Baron who now has a comfortable points lead with 137 points; a 13 point spread over Josh Frederick in second place.

Robbie Mitchell ran a great race and his solid performance enabled him to take his first podium finish of the season. Mitchell got a good start, inside the top five, and moved into second place by the second lap. Mitchell rode smart and held down the number two spot for most of the race. In the final few laps, however, Beau Baron began to close in. Mitchell was doing well at keeping a solid gap between them, but one of the many water crossings got the best of him and he got stuck.

“I got stuck and it was just long enough for Beau to close in and get around me. I wasn’t too far behind him and the very next lap, he ended up getting stuck. I thought I was going to get him, but he got out right in front of me,” said Mitchell.

The #8 racer stayed close and finish with a solid third place, just over ten seconds behind Baron. “It was a pretty brutal race, but it was awesome because I love the more technical tracks. The water worked in my favor for most of the race, but I made it on the box and I am really stoked about being up there, especially since this is my home state,” said Mitchell.
