Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson grabbed the holeshot and charged to hold the lead for the first lap. “My Yamaha started and just took off! My Pro Tech motor pulled me to the first turn ahead of everyone and I just kept it out front for as long as I could,” said Nelson of his holeshot.

Nelson, who was coming off an injury he sustained last week, battled with Baron for the first lap of the race. He then battled with Haagsma, really making him work hard to take his position. On lap three Nelson was in third place and got into a back and forth battle with Mitchell.

“Robbie (Mitchell) got around me and then I worked around him again. But, I ended up having an issue with my rear end and my left rear tire was hitting me in the foot. I hated to give away a position but I had to back down in order to keep the quad rolling,” said Nelson of his race.

#417 Josh Row would round out the WORCS Pro ATV Top 5 on his Yamaha YFZ450R ATV

Yamaha’s Josh Row rounded out the top five for the day. Despite a solid finish, Row admits this was one of the worst races of his career. Before the start, after he finished the parade lap, Row’s Yamaha was being topped off and his dry brake stuck open causing a few gallons of race fuel to be poured over him and his Yamaha YFZ450R ATV. The officials held the flag for three minutes to allow Row to run to his pits and change all of his gear.

Once the race was underway, Row began to battle with Collins Webster. Row was running in eighth place for the first two laps. On the third lap, Row came across a fellow racer and one of his idols.
