Daniel Prindle and Haedyn Mickelson teamed up with Jason Watt to compete in the Pro 4x4 event. Though a completely different racing discipline for Mickelson, but he was up for the challenge.

“This was only my second time racing a utility quad,” said Mickelson. “I did it last year with Jason Watt in a sport quad. He decided to switch to utility this year and brought me onto the team. It was a little rough for me. We broke a steering stem and dropped to fourth. I hit a tree and broke a wheel. Finishing third is an accomplishment.”

Prindle, who won the 2015 Iowa Series Championship, just joined the team three weeks ago. He tried to run consistent laps, which paid off with the third-place finish.

“Jason gave me a call and I decided to hop in with him because he’s a really good guy,” said Prindle. “I was just trying to stay consistent. The Heartland Challenge is awesome. It was neat and fun time to hang out with some good people and watch some great racing. The track was really nice during the day, but it got rough as it got dark.”
