Gosport, IN (5/21/2015) - The WORCS Mid America Cross Country Championship Series held round three at The Big Nasty in Gosport, Indiana, and Kyle Chaney claimed the MAXC Racing Pro UTV win in his second-ever MAXC Series race followed by Jerry Boling and Tim Marshall rounding out the MAXC Pro UTV Podium.

For round three, the MAXC series owner’s made it a personal mission to walk the entire course themselves and lay it out by hand to make sure it’s a great course for the motorcycle, ATV, and SxS racers. The track personnel really have the riders in mind when it comes to the course to make sure it flows properly, has minimal bottlenecks and plenty of passing opportunities.

This past weekend’s weather was slated to be a drencher, and the weatherman didn’t lie for once with heavy rain on Saturday for much of the racing day, but with the UTV’s having massive mud-terrain tires and excellent cooling systems, the UTV racers made short work of the track, even tackling the big spectator drainage ditch jump near the holeshot area!

Can-Am / Turn-Key UTV / MAXXIS / FOX’s Kyle Chaney, 2014 GNCC Pro UTV Champion, made his way out for the round three action. Chaney mashed the throttle on his Yoshimura powered Can-Am Maverick off the line and snagged the holeshot ahead of Tim Marshall in his Arctic Cat Wildcat who came off in second. Chaney seemed to be in a class of his own as he rounded the first bend after coming out of the woods section and into the finish line area with a massive lead and looked relatively clean considering the amount of mud on the course. Chaney kept it rubber-side down for the remaining six laps which he completed in just over an hour’s time, seven minutes ahead of second place, to take his second win of the season

“My Can-Am Maverick ran great for the entire seven laps, including starting up right on key and getting me off to a great holeshot. The course was very muddy with thick mud and big uphills, but it was a super fun and very smooth flowing course that was nice to race on. The big jump near the spectator area was crazy. The first time I hit it and nose dived, but the second time was very smooth on the landing and was a blast! We are excited for this season and had a bunch of fun this weekend at MAXC,” said Chaney about his win.

JRi Shocks / GPS Offroad’s Jerry Boling is also going to be racing at every round this season and is a large proponent of the MAXC series with many years racing ATV’s and now UTV’s. Boling came off the line in third place aboard his Polaris RZR, but by the half-way point of the race, he got around Marshall for second place who was losing ground due to a mechanical issue. Boling continued around the thickly mudded track and remained mistake free for the rest of the seven laps he completed.

“Kyle (Chaney) is a great racer and was flying out there today. My favorite part about racing these UTV’s is you can have a second person with you which makes it a lot of fun and kind of balances the car out. The race went good, and we finished without any mistakes. We’re really looking forward to the rest of the season and bringing more UTV’s to the series,” said Boling.

Dragon Fire / MAXXIS / FOX Shox’s Tim Marshall made the trip up from Kentucky for the third round to put his Arctic Cat Wildcat back to good use for himself. Marshall took over second place out of the holeshot and battled for this position for much of the race. Over the large spectator jump, Marshall took a hard nose-dive impact to the front of the machine, but it didn’t seem to be rattled much by the incident. However, after only three laps, Marshall was forced to retire from the race.
