2015 WORCS Racing Round #8 - Glen Helen September 27, 2015 San Bernardino, CA

DWT’s Robbie Mitchell was pleased with his sixth podium of the season. He attempted to challenge to Haagsma and Baron early in the event, but fell back into his own pace in the middle stages and finished third.

“I came off the couch basically; I’ve only run one 30-minute moto and been the gym twice since that last race,” said Mitchell. “I tried to stick with Dave and Beau for a little while, but I made a lot of mistakes early, riding too tight. Once I settled down and tried to hit my lines, I started picking up a little bit.”

Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller was challenging Mitchell for third early in the race, but he was struck in the jaw by a rock and pulled off. “On the second lap, I took what felt like a boulder to the chin,” said Mitchell. “I was seeing stars for a while and was super dizzy. I wasn’t able to hit the lines the way I should. I was trying to regroup, and the dizziness just wasn’t going away. I noticed I was bleeding pretty heavily, so I pulled off. The paramedic got me back to the trailer and I just sat out.”

Duncan Racing's Garrin Fuller has some of the worst luck this season & he took a rock to the face at Glen Helen, which sidelined him, so we hope he can finish the season on a high note at the season finale

In the Pro-am race, LSR Racing’s David Flores spoiled Mike Sloan’s perfect run this season, netting his first victory of the season. Sloan took the early lead looking for his eighth consecutive win, but the rear brakes failed on his machine, giving the lead and eventual victory to Flores. Flores had his own issues when his quad stalled in the pits early in the race, but he charged through the pack to claim the win.

“My bike just shut off,” said Flores. “I kicked and kicked until it finally started. I knew the race wasn’t over. I was on a mission, so I put my head down and the race went perfect from there. I just kept pushing Sloan and got him on the uphill. My family was here cheering me on and they really motivated me. I was ready to win today.”
