2015 WORCS Racing Round #9 - Buffalo Bill's October 18, 2015 Primm, NV

“We pitted at the same time, and he just got out quicker,” said Haagsma. “From there, I just cruised in second for the rest of the race and kept the quad together for the championship. I’m pumped. It’s a lot of work and a lot of time. To get this championship for myself and my sponsors, it felt great.”

FLY Racing's David Haagsma finished in the 2nd spot, which allowed him to clinch the WORCS Pro ATV Championship by just 4 points

Haagsma is heading to the East Coast next season and plans to run the full ATV Motorcross Nationals season. Winning the WORCS title was an important milestone for Haagsma before moving on. “I didn’t want to quit this until I got a championship,” said Haagsma. “I’ll come to the WORCS races whenever I can, so I should run about half of the rounds next year.”

STI’s Mike Sloan made his Pro debut after clinching the Pro-Am Championship at the last round with a podium finish. He was pleased with this third-place finish after having to charge from the back of the pack. In the end, cramping legs and a flat tire slowed Sloan’s charge to the front.

“We were right there with the top guys and that was nice,” said Sloan. “We just kept charging and we were right there. I made a few rookie mistakes, but Mitchell had an issue. On the second to last lap, I started cramping really bad. Once I got my legs back, I started charging, so I finished on the podium.”

DWT’s Robbie Mitchell’s quad suffered a front wheel bearing failure, which forced him into the pits to change out the front spindle and bearing, but he got back out there and finished in the fourth spot.

“We got a good start,” said Mitchell. “I rode well, but I made a mistake on the first lap and David got me. Then on the second lap, I made another mistake and Beau got me. I still felt good; like I was riding really well. Then, when I went to pit, I had a wheel bearing let go. I had to stop and it took us awhile to get that changed. I rode well the last two laps to finish in the top five.”
