Ryan Piplic raced his Cognito Motorsports RZR to a second place finish after and interesting two laps. Piplic was late getting to the gate and ended up starting on the outside. He was third out of the second turn and the quickly took over the lead. He did get stuck once and was passed but quickly regained the physical lead. Piplic then blew his rear shock midway through the first lap and broke his axle just a few miles before the finish. He lost some ground, but was able to earn second overall.
"It was a pretty crazy race; it got a little rough after I blew my shock. I just worked on getting a finish and then once I broke an axle was determined to get to the finish. I would've liked to earn the win, but after the way things played out I am happy to get second," regarded Piplic.
Beau Baron rounded out the top three on his H&M Motorsports Polaris RZR 900 XP. Baron was rolling well until another racer tried to pass him in a single line section. Baron’s RZR took a good hit to the front end before the challenging SxS flipped over. Baron was worried that he had damage to his front end and went into survival mode for the remainder of the race. He was able to finish third, and continue to hold the points lead in the SxS Pro Production class.
“I had no idea what place I was in. After taking that hit I went into survival mode and just wanted to finish. I was pretty stoked to end up third and keep my points lead,” said Baron after the race.
The # 68 of Nic Granlund placed fourth in his Polaris RZR just 30 seconds behind Baron. This is Granlund’s best finish of the season. GBC Tire’s James Hill rounded out the top five in the Pro Production SxS Class on his Can-Am Maverick.
