“I’m super glad to be back,” said Huff. “I didn’t
expect to come out with the win today, but I pushed
through the rough track and made it happen. I
had broken my neck in April in a crash at Sand
Hollow. I was out of work for three months. I
got my quad put back together in November and
I’ve been riding every weekend since. I wish I
had words to explain my happiness right now. I
can’t thank everyone enough for keeping me racing.”

& he went on to finish in the 2nd spot |
“Art Lenear builds a great horsepower motor and
Gold Speed Tires helped me get off to a great
start,” said Sanders. “I took the holeshot and
tried to set the pace. I let Logan around me early,
and fought through back pain to get into second
at the end. All the work and preparation is finally
paying off.”
Tyler Benally is pleased to start off the year
with a podium, especially after his hydration
system stopped working and exhaustion definitely
took its toll.

“About halfway through, my water bag stopped
working,” said Benally. “I got tired, but I pushed
it and did what I could. This is my first season
kicking it off on the podium. I couldn’t ask for
a better start to the year.”
The ATVs will be back in action January 27-29
as WORCS heads to Primm, NV for Round 2 at Buffalo
Bill’s Resort and Casino.
