2016 WORCS UTV Racing Round #10 - Buffalo Bills October 22, 2016 Primm, NV

With Piplic having clinched the title after the last round of WORCS at Glen Helen, the Unlimited SXS race was certain to be exciting and it delivered. Ray Bulloch led most of the race until he tangled with a lapped car. Baron passed him for the lead on the final lap, and Bulloch, whose brakes had faded, crashed into Baron’s rear bumper. Baron then effectively towed Bulloch across the finish. Ryan Holz continued his late season consistency to finish third.

“Toward the end of the race, Bulloch hit a lapper and I caught up to him,” explained Baron, who was second in the championship. “We got into the Trophy Truck track and I passed him. Then we got into turn and a jump. He launched off of it and into the rear of my car. It wasn’t far from the finish line. He kept the gas on, so I pretty much dragged him across the finish line. It was a pretty crazy finish. Getting a win to end the year is nice. I got a win at the beginning of the year, too. I just have to figure out the middle part.”

Bulloch’s car, one of the few naturally aspirated UTVs in a field dominated by turbos, was perfect right off the rip. After hitting the lapper, his four-wheel drive stopped working, so he was just trying to hold off Baron. Then his brakes faded and all hell broke loose.

“I held on for a while, but I blew my brakes out, came out on top of Beau and finished on top of him,” said Bulloch. “That’s what you call a photo finish there. The car felt totally invincible. Everything was flowing really well. We were just on rails out there.”

Ryan Holz, also in a naturally aspirated car, earned his second podium of the year. He latched on to Baron early in the race and followed him to the front.

“We went out with our naturally aspirated car with all the turbos and we put it down,” said Holz. “I got a really bad start, went through some carnage, made some good moves, got right behind Beau Baron and just followed him to the front. We set a really good pace and just checked out.”
