Mitch Guthrie Jr took the lead on the third lap
and then held off Haagsma and Thomas as the trio
battled throughout the race to secure the WORCS
season finale win. Guthrie Jr plans to compete
full time in the Best in the Desert Series next
year, so the WORCS series will be losing one of
the top UTV racers in the series.

“It was a fun race with Beau and David,” said
Guthrie Jr. “I got in third at the start. We were
all giving it our all. After a couple laps, I
got past them and never looked back. This course
was a lot of fun and I had a good time racing
everyone. We’re moving on to Best in the Desert
next year, so I’m glad to leave WORCS with a win.

“It was a good season,” added Guthrie Jr. “I
had a couple of DNFs. Those definitely were tough.
We had to come back from that, and I ended up
fourth for the year with three wins. I’m happy
I got some wins this year.”
David Haagsma said he was too conservative in
the Pro UTV race, and he came up short on time
in the end and settled for second.

“I paced myself too much today and that was a
mistake,” said Haagsma. “I tried to reel in Guthrie
Jr, but we got in some lappers and I just ran
out of time. I finished second today and second
in the championship. The car was great; I just
didn’t push quite hard enough.”
