WORCS Racing Buffalo Bill's ATV Race Report
::Continued::
Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson was looking good off the start and running out front, but a crash early in the race took the wind out of his sail, but he didn’t give up and put in an impressive charge to work his way back into the fourth spot at what might be his last WORCS race.

“I had a good start and then I crashed. I was second going into the trophy truck part and there was a big kicker with some nasty square edges on the back side, and I stuck my front tires right in there. My quad flipped and I got a little beat up and it broke my visor off my helmet, but I got back out there and worked up from eighth and finished in fourth place,” stated Nelson.
Josh Row was in mid pack off the start and worked his way up to third, but the rough track took its toll and Row fell off the pace a bit. Row hung on and rounded out the top five at the finish line.

“My Maxxis tires hooked up and I had a decent start and I worked up to third, but I started to fade and I fell back a bit. I didn’t really finish where I wanted to but I did end the season third in points and I am really happy with that,” said Row.
Robbie Mitchell was on fire off the start as he grabbed the holeshot and was leading. Unfortunately, Mitchell had some bad luck and got two flat tires. To add insult to injury, the lugs on his wheels were over tightened and took some time to get them off in the pits, which set him back even further. Mitchell went back out and did his best and was able to claim a sixth place finish.

“This is actually the first time this season that I have felt relaxed out there. I had a good start and I just kind of rode my own race out there. Dillon Zimmerman was helping me out getting everything set up and I really appreciated that. My Goldspeed tires were hooking up really good even in the sand. Mike Sloan and I were going back and forth and we had a good run, but I was able to pull away and had a good lead on him, and I was able to take the win,” said Flores.
