Terracross Championship
Pro RZR Racing

North Branch, MN (9/18/2015) - Mystik Lubricants / ATVRiders.com driver Mickey Thomas scored a third-place finish and sits third in points after Rounds 3 and 4 of the TerraCross Championship Pro RZR UTV series at Sno Barons Hay Days. Thomas has one victory and an additional podium in four races in Terracross Racing this season.

Terracross racing was held as part of the annual Sno Barons Hay Days, which attracts thousands of spectators out annually, and this year, a huge crowd surrounded the Terracross track looking to catch a glimpse of some of the exciting racing action, and Mickey Thomas was on driver to put on a show for the fans as he charged to a podium finish in round three.

In the first race, Thomas outlasted Cody Rahders. Both had trouble keeping their machines on track during the race. In the final laps, Rahders rolled over, handing Thomas the final spot on the podium to Thomas, which was his second podium finish of the season

“That was a good time,” said Thomas. “Cody and I went back and forth a couple of times. He bicycled it, and I took the spot. It wasn’t easy for me, either. It’s hard jumping in this stock RZR after driving a heavily modified RZR in WORCS. I was bicycling and I was all over the place, but it was fun.”

Unfortunately the second race wasn’t kind to Thomas. Thomas was running third and charging to the front when his RZR suffered a flat tire, moving him to eighth at the finish.

“I started on the third row on the inside, so I definitely had some work to do,” explained Thomas. “I made my way up to third and was battling with Jason Luburgh. We got into some lapped traffic and I came over the Mystik Mangler hard and blew a rear tire. They got me flipped over. I kept going and finished the race.

ATVriders.com's Mickey Thomas was in the running for another podium finish in Round 4 battling with Jason Luburgh for the 2nd spot when he flipped over in the final laps of the race, which has him 3rd in the points championship heading into the season finale

“Mystik goes hand in hand with Polaris Industries,” added Thomas. It’s perfect when you have a RZR. They build an awesome product. It’s a good partnership to have. They support TerraCross. Being a Mystik sponsored guy is pretty cool.”

The final doubleheader of the Terracross Championship season has been postponed, and the new date and location will be announced in the near future after some issues came up for the event originally scheduled for Charlotte Motor Speedway, which was a bonus for Thomas because it conflicted with his WORCS race at Glen Helen on September 26th.

Thomas plans on going for the Pro RZR Championship at the final doubleheader weekend of the Terracross Championship to be announced.
