Conditions during the 10 a.m. race were once
again favorable for the 4x4 machines as the
top four overall finishers belonged to the
4x4 Pro division. While Can-Am X-Team’s Jordan
Phillips led a majority of the nearly one
and a half hour race, it was BNR Motorsports/Can-Am’s
Robert Smith who prevailed with the overall
victory, as well as his first career 4x4 Pro
Class win. But it wasn’t without a fight from
Can-Am X-Team’s Kevin Trantham, who also led
at times, in addition to ATV Parts Plus/Can-Am’s
Bryan Buckhannon. Factory Polaris/UXC Racing’s
Michael Swift just missed the overall podium
with a fourth place finish for the day.
