Team RJ Performance's Matt Burton won the 900
UTV Class: “We definitely had a blast. We were
third at the start. There was a bottleneck and
then I hit a tree. Then my four-wheel-drive went
out and we spent a lap sorting that out. I want
to thank the spectators that pushed me off the
tree.”

Cross Kirchmeier along with his wife, Jess, who
was his co-pilot finished first in the 800 Class:
“This race was awesome. The track got so gnarly
so fast. It went from smooth on the first lap
to so rough on lap three you are almost getting
stuck in the ruts. That made for a great challenge
and the competition here made it really enjoyable.”
