2015 WORCS UTV Racing Round #8 - Glen Helen September 26, 2015 San Bernardino, CA

Rowley earned the championship on the merit of three victories and three runner-up finishes this season. “I never expected to come away with the No. 1 plate in the Pro Stock Class,” said Rowley. “I hit a big jump, blew a corner and some people got past me, so I decided to play it safe from there. I drove my own race and I ended up second.”

The big story was Nelson and the new Yamaha YXZ 1000R. The unique machine features a three-cylinder engine and a manual five-speed gearbox. With little seat time prior to the event, Nelson was ecstatic with his third-place finish, especially after starting on the second row. Nelson also took the Sportsman class win in his custom Yamaha Wolverine.

“We finished third with what was essentially a side by side right off the showroom floor,” said Nelson. “We got third today in the Pro Stock Class. We came here with a car right out of the showroom with an IMG cage and a relocated CBR radiator. We just turned some clickers on the stock shocks. We didn’t have springs or anything-and we had a pretty dang good race. To come from the second row, climb all the way to third place and finish on the podium in our first time out is pretty cool.”

Gilbert Flores won his first 1000 Stock Class race, handing Can-Am its first WORCS side-by-side victory. “I’m not too sure anyone has ever won a WORCS race in a Maverick, so I’m speechless,” said Flores. “I got a pretty good start. I made a pass and then I checked out. One guy hit me pretty hard and it knocked out my four-wheel drive. Luckily he tipped over so I got past him and won.”

Savannah Brooks claimed her first WORCS Powder Puff win after battling with points leader, Danielle Weatherly early in the race. Unfortunately, Weatherly suffered mechanical issues, and Brooks charged her way to the win.
Christy McGuffin claimed her best finish of the season as well in the second spot followed by Shelby Anderson in third.

“It was really exciting,” said Brooks. “I had never won before. It feels a little unreal. I like the course. It wasn’t too rough. Danielle is one of my best friends, so I was glad to be running with her, so it was nice to get this win.”

Jacob Shaw clinched the Ace Championship with his sixth win of the season. Shaw also had one second-place and won third-place finish on the season. “It was a good one,” said Shaw. “We were battling it for awhile. This pretty much wraps up the championship.”
