6 Race Report
::Continued::
“I had a great start and led for about a half
a lap but then RJ came out of nowhere and got
around me. I had about two laps left and I felt
my belt slipping so I had to back off a bit and
then Beau caught up to me. He stayed behind me
so I finished on the podium. As long as I finish
on the podium for the rest of the season I will
be able to extend my points lead and that makes
me happy,” said Piplic.

Ryan Piplic is now 21 points ahead of reigning
champion, Beau Baron, in third place, but
he is his closest competitor with Anderson
missing the next round in Washington |
Beau Baron didn’t get the start he was hoping
for and was stuck behind some other drivers, and
he wasn’t able to make a move, which had him finishing
in the fourth spot and third in the points race
with 97 points.

“I got stuck behind David (Haagsma) and then
I caught up to Ryan (Piplic) and I got stuck behind
him. I used all of my tear offs and had a tough
time seeing and I ended up fourth in time,” said
Baron.

David Haagsma was in the running for a podium
finish when his belt broke, which sent him
back to a 9th place finish, which has him
currently just 2 points behind Beau Baron
in the points race |
Matt Hancock had a mid-pack start and was looking
good as he drove a solid race to round out the
top five in the Pro SxS class. “I had a decent
start and I just tried to race my own race. My
Elka shocks worked great out there and my Maxxis
tires really hooked up in the mud. I am really
happy with finishing fifth. It helped a lot in
points so I am just going to try to keep improving,”
said Hancock.
