Bakersfield, CA (6/16/2016)
- H&M Motorsports’ David Haagsma had a
perfect weekend as he won all of the motos
contested in both ATV and UTV racing during
the STI QuadX season finale at Glen Helen
Raceway. In the process, he walked away with
his fourth straight Pro ATV Championship and
second straight Pro UTV Championship.

Haagsma swept both Motos of the Quad
X season finale at Glen Helen to secure
his 2nd straight Pro UTV Championship
& Haagsma also clinched his 4th
straight Pro ATV Championship |
In the UTV race, Haagsma used his Sparks
engine and Maxxis Tires to dominate both moto
starts and ran away with the events, leading
every lap.
“We had two holeshots by at least a couple
of car lengths, so the Sparks Motor and Maxxis
Tires were definitely a great combination,”
said Haagsma. “We brought the RZR I usually
use in WORCS, and it definitely out-powered
everyone else out there. We were only four
points ahead in the championship coming into
this race. We had the quad title wrapped up
before the weekend, but the UTV championship
was definitely up in the air. There was a
good turnout with 12 Pro UTVs, so getting
the holeshot was key.”
In the Pro ATV race, Haagsma hung back at
the start in moto one and worked his way through
the field to take the victory. In moto two,
he snagged the holeshot and never looked back.
“I took off late in the first moto to keep
it more interesting and I had a pretty good
battle with the leader at the end, and I won,”
said Haagsma. “I got the holeshot in the second
moto and pretty much checked out.”
Haagsma quickly left the West Coast and headed
to North Carolina to train for the next AMA
ATV Motocross National Championship race at
Sunset Ridge. Haagsma comes off his season
best finish of fifth going into this race
and has his sights set firmly on the podium.
“I’ve been working out and getting ready
for Sunset Ridge,” said Haagsma. “It feels
good coming into this one. This is a track
that suits me pretty well and I hope to get
on the podium this weekend.”
Haagsma heads into Round 7 of the AMA ATV
Motocross National Championship June 18-29
at Sunset Ridge MX in Walnut, IL.
