Primm, NV (1/30/2017) – CST’s Beau
Baron won his second consecutive Pro ATV race during
round two of the Rocky Mountain WORCS Series presented
by Maxxis and Dirt Wheels. Baron took the lead on
the final lap to win the race ahead of Mike Sloan.
Pro-Am class winner Tyler Benally finished third
overall, marking the first time in WORCS history
a Pro Am rider finished on the overall podium, and
Logan Huff and Bryce Peart rounded out the WORCS
Pro-AM ATV Podium.

With beautiful weather all weekend and just enough
moisture in the track to keep the dust down, the
racers were ready to take on Primm’s notoriously
fast and rough course. The course was lengthened
by over two miles for the pro race with a rocky
section added that still had some water puddles
left over from the rain the previous week, which
added to the challenge for the competitors.

DWT’s Robbie Mitchell grabbed the holeshot on
the dead engine start and took the lead with Sloan
and Baron in tow. Baron pitted early and was quickly
back on Mitchell’s tail. Mitchell, who didn’t
pit, couldn’t hold off Baron’s charge on the final
lap, and Baron took the lead and went on to win
the race. Mitchell subsequently ran out of fuel
on the final lap and then was penalized one lap
for an illegal refueling procedure.

the lead in the final lap |
“I ended up pitting earlier than everyone else
and that worked to my benefit,” said Baron. “I
got to have some clear track and caught back up.
I ended up passing Robbie, I looked over and his
bike was sputtering. All of the sudden, he was
out of gas.”
ELKA’s Beau Baron, said every year the competition
gets steeper. This year is no exception. “For
me to win right now is great, because I haven’t
even gotten my momentum going,” said Baron. “These
guys have really picked up the pace. They are
hauling ass, so I have to stay on my toes and
do the best I can to keep them off my heels.”
