San Marcos, CA (5/25/2017)
- After a rocky start, Seth Quintero showed
experience beyond his years to finish the
WORCS SXS 1000 Stock race at Iron Mine Race
Park in Cedar City, UT. The 14-year-old driver
finished 12th in the race after a collision
took out his steering at the start.
Quintero got a good jump at the start, but
carnage struck early and he was hit on both
sides. The hard contact bent his steering
rack, took out his power steering system and
his front differential. Despite the obvious
competitive disadvantage, Quintero fought
his way to the finish.

to secure a 12th place finish at Iron
Mine WORCS |
“I got sandwiched between two other cars
at the start and that bent my steering rack,”
said Quintero. “I dealt with it and got that
finish. My power steering went out and my
front diff was out too; my arms are killing
me right now. There were a lot of broken cars
in the class, but I got the finish. I’m just
pumped I salvaged all the points we could.”
Though his Polaris RZR was damaged from the
collision, Quintero’s finish shows just how
competitive his car was before the crash.
“Everything else felt great,” said Quintero.
“The rear end worked great thanks to Benchmark
Performance. The Walker Evans Suspension kept
me smooth through the whoops. The BFGoodrich
Tires had no flats and I had traction everywhere.”
The WORCS Series next heads to Glen Helen
Raceway. The track is within two hours of
Quintero’s house and he has plenty of experience
there.
“Glen Helen is my home track,” said Quintero.
“I’m so fortunate to live close by. We have
two rounds there and we’re hoping for good
races. We’ll the car prepped, come back for
Glen Helen and see what we can do.”
Quintero will put his experience to the test
as he hits Glen Helen’s tough circuit during
Father’s Day Weekend June 16-18.
