Cumming, GA (6/1/2016) - After bad luck in the last two WORCS Pro SXS races, Mickey Thomas rebounded with a third-place finish at Iron Mine Racepark in Cedar City, UT. The podium, his fourth this season, handed him back the lead in the championship with just two races to go.

“As usual, the Walker Evans shocks were dialed in,” said Thomas. “The new Walker Evans Velocity Shocks just kill it everywhere. Mystik offers a lot of great products for UTVs and ATVs. Addict Racing is giving me the best power to compete with everyone out here. Jim comes out to every race to help guys out here. Not a lot of guys will do that for you. Joe Owens Motorsports: my bumpers, nerf bars, prep, repairs; Joe Owens is my guy. He does a great job, and I can’t thank him enough.”

Thomas finds himself in the enviable position of leading a championship in which he only planned to run a few races this season. Thomas is also competing in a Pro Lite Truck in the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series.

“At the beginning of the season we were just planning on running a few WORCS races and the Lucas Oil Pro Lites Truck full time,” said Thomas. “I started finishing well, so we’re going to finish it out and hopefully get a points championship. We were losing it in the last few rounds; we had some bad luck. We had rollovers, clutch issues that caused a DNF that put us out of the points, but we’re right back there. We’ll keep pushing hard, getting our car better and we’ll get on that box again this year.”

The WORCS Championship is taking its annual summer break before returning to action September 16-18 at Glen Helen MX in Devore, CA. In the meantime, Thomas will race in the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series June 18-19th at the Baja International Short Course race in Ensenada, Mexico.
