Cedar City, UT (1/21/2017)
- Skyler and Stockton Bulloch kicked off the
2017 SXS racing season with their father Ray
at the Parker 250 Best in the Desert race
in Arizona. Skyler and Stockton won their
classes, while clutching issues sidelined
Ray Bulloch while leading the Pro Production
race.
“It was a good weekend,” said Ray Bulloch
“We had D&P Performance and Arctic Cat
helping with Skyler’s car. We got it running
very well. He took eighth overall and won
the 800 Class. That really built up his confidence.
He won the last race of 2017 in WORCS and
he got another win to start off this year.”

Bulloch got off to the early lead in
the Youth 250 class & he went on
to claim the overall win |
Stockton’s SXS benefitted from his dad’s
new factory deal with Maxxis Tires. Hard work
in the off-season paid off with another Bulloch
victory.
“Stockton really dominated that youth race,”
said Bulloch. “We spent a lot of time with
gearing and tires on that little 170. The
Maxxis Tires hooked up well, Stockton took
the early lead and never looked back. Maxxis
spent a lot of time with us testing different
tires and sizes Our mechanic spent countless
hours on the carburetor and he nailed it for
this race. Our hopes are that both kids will
be more competitive this year.
“Maxxis came onboard with both the SXS and
the Pro Lite Truck,” added Bulloch. “We’re
doing some testing for them and they are great
tires. We’ve been running Maxxis for years
so now to step up and be a factory Maxxis
Team gives a huge advantage. Mike Farmer got
us hooked up with this factory deal and we’re
certain good things will come as part of that.”
As for Ray Bulloch’s shortened race, he was
happy with the data they were able to get
and the chance to shakedown his Polaris RZR.
He said he’ll be ready for a consistent season
in the WORCS Championship.
“We also spent some time testing on my car
and we definitely found some things,” said
Bulloch. “We had a minute-and-a-half lead
on the second lap. We had an issue with the
primary clutch and that cost me the win. We
did come away with some good information.
SLP came on this year to help us with our
clutching. We’re going to work with them to
make sure we don’t have any other issues.
We’re coming into WORCS to be more competitive.
We want more consistency so we can come away
with a championship.”
D&P Performance's Dean Bulloch and Arctic
Cat have stepped up with assistance on Skyler’s
SXS. Ray Bulloch is focused on his kids’ success
this season.

“Dean Bulloch is helping us with parts and
technical assistance for Skyler’s car,” said
Ray Bulloch. “The future is there with these
kids. We actually turned down some offers
to run in other series because WORCS is so
family oriented. I’m not here for myself…I’m
here for my family. These kids are the future
of our sport.”
The Bulloch family will hard at work at each
WORCS race this season. Ray Bulloch will be
racing in SXS Pro Production and Pro Stock.
Skyler Bulloch will compete in SXS 700 and
the 125B Class Motorcycle. Stockton will run
in the SXS 250 Production Class, as well as
85B Motorcycle.
“We have some busy weekends ahead of us,”
said Ray Bulloch. “We’re also looking at some
other events, including the Lucas Oil, BITD
and DIRT Series, as well as possibly RMURA.”
The Bulloch clan will be ready for action
as WORCS SXS racing kicks off January 20-22
with the SXS World Finals in Primm, NV.
