Kemp, TX (10/8/2013) – The
ATV Pro Challenge Race in Memory of Caleb Moore
featured more than ATV motocross racing; Saturday
evening brought an exciting SxS Race. Cody Taylor

The SxS race featured a thirty minute moto with
a rolling start. Interestingly, they also had
a NASCAR style caution mid-way through the race
and brought everyone back together and re-started
them. The track was a sand and clay mixture, and
the track utilized some of the motocross track,
but most of it was alongside the big jumps with
some mud holes, mulch piles, and woods thrown
in to mix it up, which made for some exciting
racing action.

Cody Taylor may be new to SxS racing, but he
looked like a seasoned pro when he took the win
in his Polaris RZR XP 900 SxS. Taylor’s race began
with a battle against Colten Moore. The two were
within a second of one another for the first seven
laps. One lap eight, Taylor made the pass to take
over the lead and worked hard to put time in between
him and Moore.

On lap nine, Taylor laid down the fastest lap
of the race, a quick 01:25.322. He continued his
charge and took the win by an impressive 11.187.
“I had a good battle with Moore, but I think my
car out handled his and I could take the turns
better. I had a lot of fun; the track was really
rough and you had to pay attention. I got a little
worried when they threw the caution, but I just
put the hammer down and wanted the win,” said
Taylor.
Curtis Kirchmeier claimed second in the SxS race.
Kirchmeier grabbed the early lead and led the
first lap. He dropped to third on lap two and
then to sixth on lap nine. Despite the setbacks,
he rallied and began to pick off the pack in the
latter half of the race. He was in third on lap
13 and was able to overtake the second spot on
the final lap.

“This was a great race. The rolling start was
really cool and the track was pretty nice. My
Polaris RZR 800 worked amazing and I need to thank
Answer and MSR for helping me out,” regarded Kirchmeier.
