Devore, CA (9/21/2016) – Walker Evans Racing’s RJ Anderson took home wins in both the Pro and Pro Unlimited races at Round nine of the WORCS Off Road Championship at Glen Helen Raceway. Also, both Ryan Piplic (Pro Unlimited) and Codey Rowley (Pro Stock) wrapped up WORCS UTV Championships at Glen Helen, which leaves the Pro class up for grabs in a tight battle heading into the final round of the season.

With hot conditions and temperatures in the 100s, the weekend was tough for both man and machine. Anderson, however, in what will be his last WORCS race of the season, finished off 2016 on a high note.

Since RJ Anderson is only running a part-time WORCS effort, he started well back in the Pro Unlimited race because starting positions are set by points. Anderson drove through the field to record his first Unlimited Class win. Cody Bradbury finished second, followed by Beau Baron and Ryan Holz. Ryan Piplic’s fifth-place finish allowed him to clinch the Pro Unlimited UTV Championship with one race left.

“My whole mentality out here today was to win or wad,” said Anderson. “I’m pretty stoked to have my first win in Pro Unlimited. This is my last race of the year. I won’t be able to make it to the last one so I’m glad to go out on top. That was one two three four for Polaris RZR, Walker Evans and Holz Racing. I have to thank those guys a ton. I have so much fun at these races.”

RJ Anderson took a tough line late in the race to take the lead from Baron. The perilous move paid off with the victory.

“I was second off the start and coming into this gnarly sand wash, Beau went high to stay out of the rocks and it was go time for me,” said Anderson. “So I just launched into the rocks, smashed a rock and smashed a whoops. I was just able to hold him off. It was a risky move, but the BF Goodrich Tires are so tough. I got caught at the end in lapped traffic, so I’m glad I was able to bring home the win.”

Cody Bradbury hit a jump hard and nursed a mechanical issue to finish second. It marked his second podium of the season, including a win in round six.

“I got around RJ and got into second behind Beau, but I hit a big bump and it blew the front diff out and popped it into neutral, so Beau and RJ got by me,” said Bradbury. “Beau and RJ were driving great. They checked out on me and I had nothing for them. At the very end, I got Beau on the last turn. This is good for me after the weekend I had in the last race. I’m glad to be back on the box.”
