Jeff and Matt Hancock conquered the 2015 BITD Silver
State 300 and won the Pro Quad class with CT Racing’s
Danny Prather and David Scott finishing second followed
by Trent Kendall and Conrad Funk Team rounding out
the top three in the BITD Pro Quad class.
It was one of the closest races of the BITD racing
season in the Pro Quad class between the Hancock
brothers and the team of Danny Prather and David
Scott. The two teams have been close all season,
but this time it came down to wire to determine
the winner with the pair just separated by over
a minute at the finish line.

Q9's Matt Hancock started the BITD Silver
State 300 Pro Quad Race, and he was the
first ATV off the starting line shortly
before sunrise in Alamo, Nevada |
Matt Hancock was first up for the Pro Motorsports
team. “We started first and that was huge because
there was a lot of dust, and it was very tough
to see, especially with the sun coming up. A lot
of us were riding one handed trying to block the
sun, so we could see,” explained Matt Hancock,
who rode until the second pit stop before handing
the quad off to his brother, Jeff Hancock.

Jeff Hancock put in a hard charge through the
dusty conditions and even gained a bit of time
on the motorcycles. “We had the lead we wanted,
but the motorcycles were ahead of us, and we had
to deal with their dust,” said Jeff Hancock.
