Waters won the race despite taking hard shot to the face in a crash. The get off required him to get stitches in his forehead, but it didn’t stop him from finishing the race.

Justin Waters secured his second win of the season at Sand Hollow, which now has him leading the points with Brian Sirevaag not being able to race this weekend in ProAm after a bad wreck on Saturday

“Unfortunately my face has really taken a beating this year,” said Waters of his second victory this season. “I got 10 stitches in my lip at South Point and now it looks like I’m going to have a few stitches in my eyebrows from Sand Hollow. Even though my face has taken a beating, this year has been really good. The course was brutal. It wasn’t so much physically demanding, but you had to use your head to know where you were on the course. Rocks were hidden in the sand and drop offs were everywhere. It was just hard to keep a good pace and not catch something.”

Justin Waters looked like he just finished a boxing match more than a race at Sand Hollow with two major cuts above his eyes

Logan Huff overcame electrical problems to record his third podium of the season. He moved to second in points, ahead of Sirevaag.

“I had a problem with my kill switch,” explained Huff. “I had to take off my gloves and twist some wires together. So I had to ride two laps without gloves. I came in for gas, came out third and got second right after that. After that I pretty much accepted a second-place finish.”

Duncan Racing’s Ricardo Gonzalez should be given a special Iron Man award for his third-place finish. Gonzalez broke his collarbone at the last race in Lake Havasu and rebounded to claim his first Pro-Am podium finish when he was originally only planning to ride around and salvage some points

Ricardo Gonzalez battled early on with Kyle Fuller for the 2nd spot, but unfortunatley, Fuller had a get off, which ended his charge for a podium finish.. Gonzalez held on to claim his first Pro-Am WORCS podium finish in third place

“I didn’t know what to expect from this round; I was just coming to have fun and get some points,” said Gonzalez. “I got off to a good start and kept it going the whole race. It’s not actually healed yet, but every time I race I just want to be out front.”

The ATVs will join the motorcycles in the next WORCS race May 6-8 in Mesquite, NV.
