In Production Turbo, Anderson was challenging for the lead when, in a true show of sportsmanship, he stopped to check on Mike Gardner, who had flipped several times on the course. Once help was on the way, Anderson resumed his charge and scored an impressive third overall and second place finish in the Polaris RZR Turbo just over a minute behind the overall winner.
“Man, what a gnarly race,” said Anderson. “Dusty is an understatement. It was crazy what we went through in the end. I started on the second row and drove through traffic to finish second. This is huge leaps and bounds over last year. I learned a lot. I didn’t make any stupid mistakes. I had to stop and make sure Mike was all right. I’m glad to hear he’s ok.”
In the Production 1000 Class, Ryan Holz was
able to overcome some early issues and secure
the final spot on the podium in the short
course race.

“I got to the front really quickly, got a
flat tire, fell back, and drove back to third,”
said Holz. “It was really fun and I am happy
to finish on the podium, and all my parts
are still straight and everything worked well,
so I’m glad to pull out a clean one.”
