The season opener was held as part of the 50th
Anniversary Sno Barons Hay Days, the traditional
start of the fall and winter powersports racing
season. The track, built by Dana Creech and Jason
Luburgh with help from Ziegler CAT, featured a
technical layout combined with high-speed sections,
and several big air jumps, including a triple.
The Mystik Mayhem section returned with a 20-foot
wall, broken concrete and tires. The track was
universally praised as the best layout in Terracross
history.

The “Dirt Princess” Hailie Deegan, who was making
her Terracross debut, scorched the charts by taking
the top qualifying spot by nearly three seconds.
She led the first two laps of race one before
a differential issue sidelined her charge. Price
took over the lead and wasn’t challenged from
there.

“The competition is stiff this year and I haven’t
been in a car since November, so I went out there,
trying to get comfortable again,” said Price.
“I’m excited to be back on the top of the box
in my BitTorrent car. There is really good competition
this year. Hailie Deegan is being groomed to race
in NASCAR. Jolene has been putting in laps like
crazy and she is really fast this year. Shelby
Anderson is always a steady competitor. The course
is great. It requires a lot of patience. You have
to slow down and stay calm or it can get hairy
really quickly.”
