Class point’s leader, Beau Baron, placed fourth on his Maxxis backed H&M Motorsports Polaris RZR XP 900. Baron used his Sparks engine to grab the holeshot and moved into the early lead. Baron was beginning to gap the field when his RZR clipped the table top and began to do an endo.

“At one point, I think I was on one wheel,” regarded Baron about the incident. Baron was able to land the mishap, by gunning the throttle and steering smart. When the mishap occurred he blew a shock and the oil from the shock cover the RZR’s belt. The belt began to slip and forced Baron to back down. He was able to muster a fourth place finish and salvage valuable points when Piplic closing the gap to just ten points in the championship points race.

Jacob Shaw earned his first class win in the SxS Production 1000 class. Shaw put in a solid race and bested second place by 48 seconds. Shaw was followed by Mike Gardner and Darren Kelley. Gardner matched his season best finish with the round and third is the best Kelley has done this season.

H&M Motorsports’ David Haagsma ran his Holz Polaris RZR 570 to his sixth win in a row in the SXS Production 700 class. He used his Viper Maxxis Tires and Sparks engine to grab the holeshot. He worked hard all race to keep his line, and keep the rest of the class at a distance. Haagsma was successful and led the race from start to finish.

“The race went great! My Maxxis Tires, Sparks moto, everything worked awesome. I pulled right to the front and then worked on making a gap. I would catch lappers and it was an accordion effect; my class would catch me and I’d have to pull away again. I just kept pushing hard and it worked out,” said Haagsma after his race.

Cody Rahders and Michael Bunyea rounded out the top three in the SxS Production 700 class. Bunyea is currently in second place in points with Rahders sitting behind him in third.

Kayla Smith earned her first win of the year in the SxS Production 850 class and finished second overall behind Haagsma. Points leader, Alfredo Ramirez finished in the second spot followed by Nolan Remlinger.
