Devore, CA – Cody Bradbury and Matt Hancock won the Pro SXS races during the Rocky Mountain ATV MC WORCS Series presented by Maxxis and Dirt Wheels events at Glen Helen Raceway. Bradbury won his third SXS Pro race of the season, while Hancock recorded his first victory in the Pro Stock class.
Temperatures in the mid 90s and a nice breeze kept dust to a minimum as the SXS racers took on a brand new layout for the weekend’s events. The track incorporated parts of the Glen Helen course, the Lucas Oil track and the REM Course. The circuit was run in reverse with from the Summer race along with some new sections added as well.
In Pro Stock, Hancock started off his spectacular weekend with a win. Hancock took the lead from the start and held it until the end. Beau Baron was second and extended his lead in points 22. Granlund finished third, followed by Shelby Anderson and Sierra Romo. Hancock was glad to finally put the issues he’s had at Glen Helen behind him.
“I’ve always had trouble at Glen Helen,” said Hancock, who moved up to second in points with the victory. “I’ve lost a few championships here and wrecked a couple of times on the quad. I got the holeshot here a couple of months ago, led most of the race and lost it in the last two laps. This race I was ready. I got the holeshot and I just went for it. Beau was behind me, pushing me to go faster. That helped me a lot, keeping those guys behind me and driving like I knew I could. It was great to get my first win here. I’ve been close so many times.”
Baron extended his points lead with his fifth podium of the season and second podium in a row at Glen Helen. His third-place finish here in June actually handed him the points lead.
The Rocky Mountain ATV MC WORCS Series presented by Maxxis and Dirt Wheels Series finishes out the 2017 season at Adelanto Stadium outside San Bernardino, CA. That race is scheduled for October 6-8.
