#422 David Haagsma finished out his Pro
Rookie year with an impressive Top 5 in
points finish |
MCR/Maxxis Tire’s David Haagsma was outside
of the top five off the start, but kept the hammer
down and moved into the number four spot after just
five laps. Haagsma was looking fast and consistent
at the midway point and was still hold steady in
fourth.
Haagsma kept his fast and steady pace to hang on
for a fourth place finish right behind Josh Frederick
at the finish line, and Haagsma claimed fifth overall
in pro points in his pro rookie year, so he will
surely be one to watch for in 2012.

inside the top ten going into the first lap and
kept a steady pace, working his way up through traffic.

his way up to fifth place and hold it all the way
to the checkered flag. Zimmerman, who was tied for
points with Jarrod McClure going into the final
round was able to break that tie and take sixth
place in series points.
“This was kind of a tough season for me
with being injured earlier, but I still finished
well. I’m really hoping to stay with Motoworks
next season. I have been racing the WORCS series
since I was 14, so it feels like this is the series
I should be racing and I hope I will be staying
here,” said Zimmerman.
Yamaha mounted Justin Waters came from a top
ten start and worked his way forward. Water’s
moved into seventh at the midway point of the
race and in the final lap took over the number
six spot to finish in sixth ion his class. Water’s
finish also allowed him to slip by Mike Cafro

lap when he suffered a breakdown, which
dropped him back to an 8th place finish |
National Guard/Yokely Racing’s Jarrod McClure
got off to a decent start in the top five and
put in a hard charge until the final lap when
he fell back to the number eight spot after a
mechanical issue in the final lap. Despite missing
round number eight, McClure was still able to
finish in seventh in the pro points chase.
Unfortunately McClure will only be racing occasionally
next year. “We’ll be out for a couple
of rounds next year. I had a pretty good season
here and it’s been a lot of fun, so I’m
looking forward to coming back for at least a
couple of rounds,” stated McClure.
