Known for its difficult and whoops-filled nature, Bradbury’s Walker Evans Suspension was up to the challenge on his Polaris RZR. Bradbury recovered from a hard landing to charge his way to the physical overall lead, but with time adjustment, he finished in the second spot.

“It was pretty sketchy out there,” explained Bradbury. “I went to make a pass on the double and frame cased it, so from there, I put my head down, went through some tear offs and tried to run as fast as possible. All in all, it was a good weekend. I’m glad I’m up here and that I finished. The track was rough. This was one of the rougher Primm tracks I can remember.”
Walker Evans Racing stepped up this year to a full sponsor on Bradbury’s ride, a move that Bradbury says has made him much more competitive.
“Walker Evans has been huge in getting my car set up this year,” said Bradbury. “The car has been great for the first two rounds and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. This is my first podium of the season and I think this will really get the ball rolling. The Grounded 4 control arms really took a beating. The GBC Tires and Walker Evans Shocks really worked well on the rough course.”

4's Corbin Leaverton finished third
in the Pro Stock Class |
Corbin Leaverton is just 15 years old and ran a partial WORCS schedule last year before stepping up to compete for the full 2016 season. His first WORCS podium was especially sweet, knowing that he is the youngest driver in the field.
“It’s really cool to be so young and do so well especially when my fellow competitors are so much older,” said Leaverton. ““We were battling for the first couple of laps after I lost my power steering and I think I bent a driveshaft. I just tried to hang in there as long as I could and I came out with the podium. I was waiting for this. I was just happy to get on the podium and I’m looking for a win now.
“Walker Evans Suspension was huge here,” added Leaverton. “The Grounded 4 Arms and the Nelson and Nelson swaybars really helped in the turns.”
