In the ATV Pro race, Baron took the lead while Haagsma pitted and never looked back. Baron was ecstatic to start out the WORCS season with the sweep.
“Knowing I can actually do it is just phenomenal,” said Baron. “I was in second behind David, then we started going through these silt beds, and I was getting arm pumped. I calmed down, put my head down and started picking up the pace. I had a little quicker pit, came out first and tried to pull the best gap I could.”
“To get the first one out of the way with a win is key,” added Baron. “You always want to get the first one behind you, and to start the season with a win is awesome. I hadn’t been riding as much as I would have liked in the offseason, so I’m pretty stoked.”
Baron’s Pro Stock and Pro Unlimited wins marked his first WORCS SXS victory in more than a year for the multi-time WORCS SxS champion.
In the Pro Race, Baron snagged the lead after starting fifth and was never seriously challenged.

“I took off fifth, I got the lead early and I just ran for the hills,” said Baron. “The CST Tires are awesome. This win is very reassuring that I made the right tire choice. Last year I was having trouble with car setup. We made a few changes with the help of Holz and Sparks and I started fifth instead of eighth or tenth. It makes a big difference when you can start up front.”
In the Pro Unlimited event, Baron traded the lead several times before coming home with the victory. “I’m really happy with my results, and I’m pumped to get the sweep,” said Baron. “It’s been awhile, so I’m excited.”
