2015 RMURA Round #5 Grand Junction Motor Speedway Grand Junction, CO September 12, 2015

Josh Tatman broke an A-Arm in practice and figured his weekend was over. That is until Deshon helped him get back on track. “He grabbed an A-Arm for me, and he even helped me put it on,” said Tatman. “Chris is a true competitor. It was pretty dusty and I got rear ended, but we’re happy with the podium. I waited until the end to put in my best lap times. I didn’t expect to be on the podium, and I can’t wait to do it again.”

Deshon leaves Round 5 with the championship lead, but it has gotten much tighter going into the season finale with a 44 point lead over Mike Schaad moving up into the second spot ahead of Kyle Raley

“Oh man, that bicycle was unreal; I think I went as far as I could without rolling over,” said Deshon of his first-turn shunt. “I battled my way back up. I tried to get in front as much as I could to avoid the dust. My UTV overheated, went into limp mode and that was the end. I’m sure the points are a lot closer now, so we’re really going to have dot our i’s going forward.”

In the Women’s Powder Puff class, Chelsea Cisneros drove through the entire field to take the win race, ahead of Jenny Meeker and Rebecca Rector.

“My engine died at the start and I had a time getting through the field,” said Cisneros. “Starting at the back seemed like a good idea today. This is my third race and my first win. This is awesome; just amazing. I loved the jumps here.”

In the Sportsman SxS 1000 class, Evan Gallegos finished first, followed by Chase Slaugh and Mike Slaugh. It marked his first RMURA victory.

"We race Rocky Mountain UTV and this is part of the sport; we love it,” said Gallegos. “We get to see a lot of different tracks with jumps and obstacles. This is a great crowd. I came out of the holeshot and had to hold it out of the dust. We didn’t feel like eating anyone’s dust today.”

Sadly Chris Gornell over jumped the big tabletop & suffered a back injury, which sent him to the hospital for surgery, so we send our prayers out to Gornell for a speedy recovery
