David Haagsma Takes WORCS Pro
SxS Win at Round 3
::Continued::
STV Motorsports’ Nic Granlund entered his Yamaha
in the Pro race, so he could get some extra practice
in for the Pro Stock SXS event. He outlasted and
late-braked several other drivers in the corners
to net the runner up slot.

Nic Granlund grabbed the holeshot on the
restart from the second row & he quickly
began chasing down the racers on the first
row |
“I was moving up on the first start,” said Granlund.
“Then on the restart, I lined back up and double
clutched it off the line. It was pretty muddy
and the tires were working really well. I just
kept plugging away and I was out-braking them.”

Nic Granlund went on to claim the 2nd spot
on the podium with his time adjustment from
starting on the 2nd row |
BDR Motorspots’ Larry Heidler was also driving
a non-turbo car as well. Like the Haagsma and
Granlund, he outlasted the competition and drove
it home third, earning his first career WORCS
Pro podium finish.

Larry Heidler claimed his first WORCS Pro
SXS Podium finish with a 3rd place at Taft |
“On the restart, I was second and about halfway
through that lap, I got around Cody and drove
as hard as I could,” said Heidler. “I was trying
to keep up on time. The only time I saw Davy was
when I lined up next to him. From there, I never
saw him at all.”
In Pro Stock, HOLZ Racing’s Beau Baron netted
his second victory of the weekend after winning
the Pro ATV race. He snagged the holeshot and
ran first for the entire race in his Polaris RZR,
holding off the similar car of Ray Bulloch. Granlund
finished third, recording his second podium of
the weekend, ahead of the RZRs of Cody Bradbury
and Matthew Hancock.

“These cars are hit and miss all of the time,”
said Baron. “I was frustrated in the Pro race.
I didn’t make it a lap before my car overheated.
The Pro Stock car ran great. It’s bone stock and
that’s what I like; it showcases driving skill
and not who has the biggest wallet. I pulled the
holeshot with the stock car. It’s great to pull
off two wins this weekend.”
