to her third consecutive victory in Women’s UTV
class. “Earned the Women's Win at John Penton
today. It was as a tough track for sure, and you
really had to get your head on straight to keep
the car together. I want to dedicate this race
today to my late Step Father Loren Burroughs..
Who always told me to keep my head on straight
and to do what it takes to win. I had to slow
down a bit, but earned some precious GNCC national
points and kept the lead going into summer break,”
