The
Iron Mine WORCS attracted a large turn out
of SxS Racers for the final round before
the 4 month long summer break |
“I felt invincible today,” said an elated Bulloch.
“You couldn’t stop me if you tried. To get the
overall win in front of my friends and family
here at home, I couldn’t be happier. I feel like
I got my mojo back.”

Maxxis's
Ray Bulloch grabbed the holeshot for the
Pro Stock class, which was the third row
to leave the starting line |
After the last race, Bulloch made several changes
to his program, bringing on a new engine tuner
and a new mechanic. “DW Performance tuned my car
on the dyno and helped me with the clutching,”
said Bulloch. “Between the two of us, we’re unstoppable.
Rusty Stieber is my new mechanic and we just feel
like we’re firing on all cylinders. I have to
thank Walker Evans, Super ATV, HCR, Maxxis, ATVRiders.com.
Those Maxxis tires were hooking up. The tune,
the clutching, my shocks, everything was just
phenomenal. Everything just came together today.
I know Codey is a ways out there in points, but
we’re going in the right direction.”

Walker Evan’s Ronnie Anderson’s best finish of
the year came at the expense of Rowley, who lost
brake pressure two laps from the finish. “I’m
stoked to come out here with a second today,”
said Anderson. “Ray and Codey were on rails today.
Ray was flying. The suspension was really good
today. I have Walker Evans to thank for that.
I was definitely pushing it today.”

in the Pro Stock UTV class |
HOLZ’s Codey Rowley padded his points lead with
his sixth podium finish of the season. His consistency
places him 22 points ahead of Bulloch going into

DWT's
Codey Rowley secured the final spot on the
WORCS Pro Stock UTV podium, which has him
holding a 22 point leading heading into
the final 2 rounds of racing after the summer
break |
“I’m ahead in the points and I’m just plugging
away to get that championship,” said Rowley. “Ray
got the holeshot and I was trying to hold his
pace. He was just ripping. I started two wheeling
it so I let him go. I wasn’t going to catch him.
Two laps from the end, my brake bleeder came loose
and I had no brakes for the last two laps. I kept
it together to the finish.”
