2017 WORCS Racing Rounds 1 & 2 - Buffalo Bill's January 21-22, 2017 Primm, Nevada

In Pro Stock, GBC’s Nic Granlund carried the day in his Yamaha. After a 13th-place start in the short course race, Granlund immediately started moving through the field and finished second. He repeated the runner-up effort in Sunday’s race after battling with Doug Eichner and Bulloch on the muddy course. That battle took Bulloch out of the lead and put Granlund on top of the box.

“WORCS did a great job setting up this event,” said Granlund. “The Yamaha was really ripping this weekend. I just set a good pace and tried not to make a mistake or crash.”

FOX's Nic Granlund once again scored another 2nd place finish on Sunday, which boosted him to 1st overall in the SxS Pro Stock Class

Maxxis’ Ray Bulloch and his Polaris simply outclassed the field in the short course race. After taking the lead on the first lap, he was never seriously challenged. In Sunday’s race, Bulloch was in the lead in the outside of a turn when he tangled with both Granlund and Eichner. The contact sent him off course into a chunk of concrete, ripping an A-arm out of his RZR’s frame. He recovered to finish sixth in the race and second overall.

“Saturday was awesome,” said Bulloch. “We got out front early and never looked back. In the second race, I was on the inside in some mud and Eichner hit me really hard and then Granlund hit me from behind. Even with the lower A-arm ripped out of the frame, I was able to drive pretty well. We’re going for a championship this year so to go out there with a broken A-arm and finish second overall in Pro Stock is pretty awesome.”

Super ATV's Ray Bulloch had issues on Sunday, which dropped him back to 2nd Overall in the Pro Stock Class

CST’s Beau Baron put on an amazing show in the short course race. After drawing a 30th starting position, he diced his way through the field to finish eighth. He used the resulting starting position to win Sunday’s race on adjusted time and record a third-place overall finish. Baron was driving a Holz-built Polaris with bone stock engine and clutches.

“I want to be in points, and this finish sure beats a DNF,” said Baron. “The conditions were rough today. My eyesight is still blurry from having to toss goggles two laps in. It was a test, for sure. My hands were frozen and it was a tough deal today. The Polaris RZRs are great. There is absolutely nothing done to my engines on both of them. I won a race in a completely stock car so that’s a testament to Polaris.”

Walker Evan’s Shelby Anderson finished fourth overall in her Pro Stock debut after stepping up from SXS 1000 Stock. She started 20th in the short course race and drove through the field to finish fourth. In Sunday’s event she recorded another fourth, placing her fourth overall.

“I can’t complain in my first race weekend in Pro Stock,” said Anderson. “I really wanted to run harder, but with all the weather and how gnarly the track was, I just tried to stay consistent and now I have a chance to get into the points chase. We’ll just keep moving up and carrying forward the momentum.”
