In WORCS Pro Am Class, Logan Huff showed he had rebounded from injuries sustained last April by winning his first race back since his injury. Ty Sanders took the holeshot, but finished second on a Honda followed by Tyler Benally rounding out the podium in third.

“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.”

“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.
