4 Race Report
::Continued::
Piplic eventually crossed the finish line in
second place, which was enough for him to take
over the WORCS SxS Pro class points lead by one
point over Mitch Guthrie Jr with his third podium
finish. “It’s super exciting to get my sponsors
up there in the number one spot, and hopefully
we can keep them there all season long,” said
Piplic.

Polaris/Walker Evan’s RJ Anderson grabbed the
holeshot and led for a couple of laps. Anderson
was pulling away in the lead, but he accidentally
switched his vehicle to 2WD somehow and thought
he broke the front differential. “I must have
bumped something, and it put me in two wheel drive,
and I thought I broke my front diff. My switch
is mounted where I can’t see it, so I didn’t realize
it right away. I was finally able to get it back
in four wheel drive, but I ran out of time and
took third,” said Anderson.

laps before dropping back to third, which

Mystic Lubricant’s Mickey Thomas had a tough
race but managed to come away with a fourth place
finish. “It was definitely a rough race. I rolled
over once and there was a lot of traffic to get
by after I flipped and I had to work my way up
from dead last, but I just pushed hard and finished
fourth. I think maybe next time we will be on
the box,” said Thomas.

HCR Racing’s Jeff Obering had a good race in
the WORCS Pro SXS class and rounded out the top
five. “This course is a lot more technical than
some of the other tracks we race on. They did
do some grooming for the pro race, so it was better
than some of the other classes, but it is still
a tough course. We came away with fifth place,
and I am pretty happy with that,” said Obering.

Walker Evan Racing’s Tim Wyatt came from a mid-pack
start and finished in sixth place while Can-Am’
Matt Hancock finished seventh and Cody Bradbury
finished eighth. H&M Motorsports’ Beau Baron,
had a tough weekend. Baron crashed during ATV
practice on Friday when his axle broke, and he
injured his shoulder, so he and was mainly out
to salvage points in the SxS Pro class. H&M
Motorsport’s David Haagsma also encountered issues
and only completed two laps, which cost him the
points lead after claiming podium finishes the
first three rounds of the season.
