Beautiful weather with temperatures in the mid
80’s welcomed the ATV racers to their second visit
of the year to Primm. The track, however, was
much different. It was slightly shorter and was
significantly rougher than earlier this season.
DWT’s Robbie Mitchell took the lead on the first
lap and then focused on hitting his marks. Then,
two laps from the finish, Baron had Mitchell in
his sights. Though he challenged Mitchell for
the lead several times, Mitchell held strong and
came away with the win and he finished second
in points.

“I definitely had to pick it up the last two
laps,” said Mitchell. “I could see Davy coming
up through the pack. I was just trying to be smart
and not crash. All I tried to focus on were my
lap times. The last two laps, he’d catch me out
in the back and pressured me really hard. I just
tried to keep my cool and focus on my lap times.
I just tried to be fast and consistent.”
