The Romo Family Shines at Glen
Helen WORCS
::Continued::
The Romo family was definitely celebrating over
the weekend. Sierra Romo padded her points lead
in the Women’s class with her fourth victory of
the year. Danielle Weatherly was second, followed
by Sierra’s mother, Claudia. The younger Romo
got out just ahead of a crash-filled start and
led every lap.

Sierra
Romo secured the Women's Class Win, which
will have the class championship coming
down to the final round at Primm |
“I had no idea about the carnage behind me,”
said Romo. “I went a couple of laps before I noticed
there was no one behind me. It was one of the
roughest courses I’ve raced on. The championship
is going to come down to Primm and it’s going
to be a close one.”

Rigid’s Danielle Weatherly tangled with another
car at the start and flipped her ride. She recovered,
drove through the field and finished second. She

“Sierra got the holeshot and I don’t know what
happened; I just saw sky and dirt,” said Weatherly.
“They got me flipped back over and I got going.
I passed every woman in the class and took second.
The track was rough, but Glen Helen is my favorite
track so it was fun. That was the hardest I’ve
ever driven.”
Claudia Romo was so proud of her daughter she
didn’t really celebrate her first WORCS podium
in just her second start.

father, won ahead of Dean Wheeler and Austin Flowers.
Recently crowned champion Shelby Anderson crashed
