2016 WORCS ATV Racing Round #6 - Sand Hollow April 16, 2016 Hurricane, Utah

“I’ve been waiting to do this all year long,” said Webster. “I’ve been putting in the work during the week and it’s paying off. Sloan and I had an intense battle. He’s a good friend, so I’m glad it was with him. I train in sand, so I’m used to it. I like the sand and the roughness.”

STI’s Mike Sloan managed to keep up and battle with Webster despite a flat tire on his Honda in the final laps of the race, but he wasn’t able to make the pass on Webster in the end, but claimed his fourth straight third place finish on the podium.

“I rode the last half of the race with a flat,” said Sloan. “I was battling the flat and was still staying with Collins. I had a line picked out where I was going to set him up, but the flat caused my suspension to swap out. I feel good about my performance today.”

LMR Racing’s Robbie Mitchell was battling with Garrin Fuller for second when Fuller crashed hard off of one of the dunes in the seventh lap. In a true show of sportsmanship, Mitchell stopped to help his fallen comrade. He rebounded to finish fourth. Fuller wasn’t seriously injured, but the wreck ended his race day.

“I was starting to gain on him when his tire fell off the end of one of the dunes and he just cart wheeled,” said Mitchell. “I stopped to help him because he was just laying there. I’d want someone to stop for me, so I couldn’t just leave him there. It was tough to do, because I was second when he dropped out, but it’s more important to make sure someone is safe than to finish second.”

ELKA’s Matthew Hancock recorded his best ever WORCS Pro ATV finish in fifth. He regretted running too slow a pace at the start of the event, but it topped off a great weekend for the Pro rookie who also scored his first Pro SxS podium finish on Saturday.

“I’ve been training a lot lately and I’m in better shape so I should have picked it up a little more at the start,” said Hancock. “I felt a lot faster than I have all year. I’m excited about the top five, but I’m more excited about having a smooth race and feeling good.”
