Mesquite, NV (5/9/2016) – Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller bad luck streak made a 180-degree turn as he took the lead on the final lap and won the WORCS Pro ATV race at Mesquite MX. It marked Fuller’s first-ever Rocky Mountain MC World Off-Road Championship Series presented by Maxxis and Dirt Wheels Pro win. Mike Sloan finished second. Points leader Beau Baron recovered from a hard crash on the last lap while leading to finish third, followed by Matthew Hancock and Jeff Hancock.

Unseasonably mild temperatures and overcast skies made for great racing weather, but the ATV racers had to content with one of the fastest and challenging tracks on the WORCS calendar. Featuring a big air motocross track combined with an off-road section comprising mostly silt, sand whoops and rocks, the riders psyched themselves up before the race.

In fact, they were so pumped up that a tangle at the start nearly took out several of the frontrunners. Baron, who was looking to win his sixth consecutive race, took the early lead with Fuller following in third. Fuller briefly grabbed the lead in the middle stages of the race when Baron pitted, but Baron quickly retook the spot. Then, on the final lap, Baron hit a rock and crashed hard, handing the lead and the victory to Fuller.

Fuller had difficulties all season: mechanical problems, crashes and the like have sidelined him in several races while he was contending for the top spot. Today, however, it all came together.

“I never want to win this way, but it’s good to finally get this win behind me,” said Fuller. “How I rode today is how I should be riding all of the time. We’ll try to get on the box for the last three races and see how we do. I’m just sick of all of the excuses. I have a fresh bike, fresh suspension and fresh motor. I’m ecstatic. It’s been a long time coming. I never even thought I could compete with Beau, but I was there right with him. I just tried to keep that pace the whole race. I’ll try to use this momentum for the rest of the season.”
