ColdCock Whiskey's BC Vaught rounded out the podium finishing a second behind Thomas for third

#31B BC Vaught finished in the 3rd spot

Lonestar Racing's Brandon Sims finished 4th, Chad Ragland was 5th and Monster Energy's Chris Burandt held down sixth. Burandt, a Champion snow cross racer proved the transition from snow to dirt a reasonable one as he bested many racers with a ton more experience behind the wheel of a UTV. Seventh place was veteran ATV racer Jason Luburgh, who raced nearly the entire race with his doors flapping open after an early collision with GBS tire's Wes Miller. Hans Ada drove the ALBA Racing car to an 8th place finish and Nielsen Enterprise's Doug Gust was the last finisher in ninth.

#2 Jeremy McGrath suffered a DNF in the opening round of Terracross Racing

Jeremy McGrath, Travis Rasmusson, Daryl Rath, Cole Cottew, Colten Moore, Wes Miller, and RJ Anderson all DNF'd the first round of Terracross at Del Mar. While the Polaris RZR XP1000 cars are incredibly durable and capable out of the box, slamming concrete K rails, cartwheeling, and t-boning each other in hairpin turns will get the best of them.

All the Spec Polaris RZR's are maintained by the Terracross staff of mechanics

Out of all the cars that were hauled out by forklifts after incidents, only the one car in the first practice couldn't be repaired for action in the next set of moto's. Seeing the kinds of can age at this event, that says a lot for the quality and capability of these new Polaris RZR XP1000's.
