Yamaha's #94 Dustin Nelson injured his wrist
when he had a get off early in the race,
which ended his race after only three laps |
Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson was looking strong
off the start as he came off the line in fifth and
soon took over fourth. Unfortunately for Nelson,
things did not go according to plan. “My rear
shock heated up and wasn’t working and it
bounced me right over,” said Nelson, who ended
up re-injuring his wrist, which forced him to call
it a day after only three laps.
In the Pro-am ranks, Can-Am’s Collins Webster
claimed his first win of the season. Webster grabbed
the holeshot and never looked back. Webster’s
win now has him in contention for the championship
at the final round. “It felt great to take
that win. I’ve been working on my starts
and it really helped this weekend with all the
dust,” said Webster.
Levi Shirley claimed his best-ever Pro-am finish
as he joined Webster on the podium in second,
while Ryan Waldo also had his best finish as he
rounded out the top three.

Pro-am points leader Garrin Fuller encountered
issues due to all the dust and was only able to
take a tenth place finish, which will make for
an exciting final round of racing with Fuller
and Webster going for the Pro-Am Championship.
In the Side-by-Side classes, it was RJ Anderson
who claimed another victory in the 1000 Production
class, which now has him tied with Ryan Piplic,
who finished in second, for the points lead.
Turnkey UTV’s Beau Baron was also on the
podium with a third place finish that has his
sitting comfortably in third in series points.
The final round of the 2012 WORCS series will
head to Honolulu Hills in Taft, CA on September
14th – 16th where the 2012 championships
