2014 WORCS Racing Round #7 - Straddleline ORV August 3, 2014 McCleary, WA

417 Motorsports’ Josh Row was in the number four spot off the start and held his ground for several laps before he was able to move into third place and hold that spot for the final two laps of the race.

“It was kind of a race of attrition. I was able to take over third after Robbie Mitchell crashed, and I moved into third. This is the first time I have ever been on the podium in Washington, so I am pretty happy about that,” said Row, who is now in a very tight points battle with David Haagsma for the number two spot.

Robbie Mitchell, who is known for his good starts, did not disappoint for round seven. Mitchell grabbed the holeshot and was doing a good job of holding off Beau Baron. Unfortunately, Mitchell fell back to second after three laps, but he was staying close and trying to remount a challenge, but a couple of mistakes and a crash late in the race, cost him and he would finish in fourth place.

After leading the first three laps, Robbie Mitchell fell back to second before crashing late into the race. Mitchell still managed to finish fourth for the day

“I had a great start, but I ended up hitting a stump and it messed up my steering and then I ended up hitting a chain link fence and flipping late in the race. This is my favorite type of racing though I love racing in the woods and it was still a lot of fun,” said Mitchell.

Garrin Fuller rode a consistent race for round seven. Fuller was in fifth off the start and held his position from start to finish.  Fuller is also currently holding down fifth place in the points chase and is one point ahead of WORCS veteran, Dustin Nelson, who was absent from round seven.
