BEST IN THE DESERT Silver State 300 May 2, 2015

ELKA’s Matt Hancock took control once again at pit six and was running strong, but ended up going off course. “There were some markers down, and I got off course about ¾ of a mile. I was able to get back on track, but it did cost us,” said Matt Hancock.

Jeff Hancock was the one to race the final portion of the Silver State 300 and put in an amazing effort. “At one point I heard on the radio that there was only an eight second gap between us and second place so I really pushed hard and I was able to pull a nice gap, and we got the win. We had a good day, and I am really happy we pulled it off,” said Jeff Hancock.

“It was a crazy day, but we still pulled off the win and we are really excited about that. Even with all the dust our Pro Motorsports quad ran great and our Maxxis Tires and Tire Blocks held up. Overall it was a good race. This is three wins in a row and it’s really huge for us. I always looked up to my brother when he was racing and now I am racing with him, so this is really amazing for me,” said Matt Hancock.

Maxxis’ Danny Prather and David Scott were third off the line and fought with a lot of dust early in the race. “We ate a lot of dust off the line but we stayed close to the Hancock’s and Trent Kendall for about the first 100 miles. We got around Trent but the Hancock’s pulled a good lead,” said Danny Prather, who started the race.

Prather and Scott closed in on the Hancock brothers once again towards the end of the race but were unable to take over the lead and finished in a very close second place. “Everything worked awesome for us out there, and we tried to reel them in but we fell short this time. We got to about eight seconds behind, and we got hung up at a road crossing. We have to stop for traffic on the highway, so it cost us a little time, but I don’t know if it would have made that much of a difference. We will be back trying again though at Vegas to Reno,” said David Scott.

Trent Kendall and Conrad Funk started out second and put in a hard charge. Kendall was able to stay ahead of Prather and Scott for about the first half of the race but when they were forced to stop and change their air filter, they dropped back to third. “It was so dusty out there. We stopped to change our air filter and that’s when Prather and Scott got ahead of us. I ended up getting off course a bit because some of the markers were down but that didn’t cost me too much time. Overall it was a good race and I am happy with third,” said Kendall.
