Kris Callahan earned the win in the UTV 900cc Production class in style by capturing the holeshot at Busco Beach

In the UTV 900cc Production class, Callahan Waterproofing and Construction’s Kris Callahan grabbed the class by the reigns and took control immediately by grabbing the holeshot and continued onto the early lead. Callahan hammered down for the remaining laps of the contest and brought home the win. Kinda Tires’ Jay Person came off the line, just behind Callahan and was able to remain in this position, going uncontested for the rest of the race to being home second place. Capitol Cycle Company’s Madison Lassiter was able to take advantage of a few mistakes by Madeline Cox and turned her fourth place starting position into a third place podium for herself by the end of the race.

Bucky Gardner lifts his NC Powersport's Polaris RZR front end on the way to the win in the UTV Production Class

The UTV Production class got off to a wild start as NC Powersport’s Bucky Gardner had a fender bender heading into the first turn and had his rear bumper dislodged as he and Sunshine Tan’s Connor Wood raced into the first corner neck and neck. Gardner was able to make a pass on Wood as the first lap was completed as they both chose different option lanes. Gardner’s unfortunate bumper-smashing didn’t slow him down however as he soared over the jumps of Busco Beach and remained in the lead, crossing the finish line in first place. Kris Callahan got off to a decent mid-pack fourth place start but had the track dialed in and was able to make his way around Wood as he spun out and then around Thomas Blanton to take over second place before the end of the contest. Bark Delivered Inc.’s Thomas Blanton, piloting a brand-new 60th Anniversary Yamaha YXZ 1000 was able to get a good start in third place and was also able to take advantage of Wood’s spin out to take over second place. He then battled with Callahan for the spot but was bumped back to third place by the finish of the race, landing on the podium with a solid finish.
