2015 WORCS Racing Round #3 - Canyon MX March 1, 2015 Peoria, AZ

H&M Motorsports’ David Haagsma grabbed the holeshot with his teammate Beau Baron was hot on his heels. Haagsma held off Baron until lap two and then fell back to second. Haagsma stayed close, recording the fastest lap time of the race in lap eight with a time of 09.20.690 and closed in to within 9 seconds of Baron, but he was unable to get close enough to make a move and settled for a second place finish. “I had a great start but Beau was right behind me and I ended up getting pumped up a bit and he got by me. I stayed close but I made a mistake and hit a cactus, so I had to pull over and pull it out of my arm. I fell back a bit, but I got back into second and I got close to Beau again but I ended up in second,” said Haagsma.

EXIT Shock’s Robbie Mitchell was in second off the start but fell back to fourth early in the race. Mitchell rode a steady pace in the number four spot for several laps before overtaking Garrin Fuller and claiming third place for his third straight Pro ATV podium finish to kick off the year. “I had a great start, my DWT tires hooked up great and my quad was running great. My plan was to just go out there and finish, but I felt pretty comfortable and I picked up the pace. I ended up hitting a rock late in the race and messed up my brake rotor, so I had to settle in third. This is the first time I have been on the podium three times in one season and it is awesome,” said Mitchell.

Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller got a good start and was able to move into the second spot late in the race after passing Haagsma while he was briefly sidelined dealing with a cactus, but Fuller would spend most of his race battling with Mitchell, and at the checkered flag, Fuller claimed the fourth spot. “I actually got into second for a while, me and Robbie Mitchell were battling really hard for a big part of the race but I started getting blisters really bad and that set me back. Despite the blisters, I had a great race. Doug Roll hooked me up and my quad worked flawlessly,” said Fuller.

Pro Motorsports’ Jeff Hancock, Matt Hancock’s big brother, decided to throw a leg over a quad in the WORCS series for the first time in years, and did fairly well as he rounded out the top five. “It’s been about six years since I’ve raced the pro class but it was a lot of fun. It’s getting me back in shape for the Best in the Desert series. My Pro Motorsports quad ran great out there and I just had a really good time,” said Hancock.
