Mountain ATV MC WORCS Series presented by Maxxis
and Dirt Wheels Pro SXS Class, finishing first in
the SXS Pro race at Sand Hollow State Park for the
second straight year. Driving a Polaris RZR Turbo
borrowed from RJ Anderson, Bradbury beat out Ryan

for the victory. Bulloch won the Pro Stock race,
followed by Matt Hancock, Doug Eichner, Beau Baron
and Piplic.

Windy conditions in the area died down for the
Saturday race at one of the most scenic racing
locales on the tour with its coral colored sand
and sandstone rock faces. It’s also one of the
roughest tracks, featuring deep sand whoops, buried
rocks and racing lines that seemingly change with
every lap. The track was shorter than in year’s
past and featured more laps giving spectators
a much better view of the racing action.

Sand
Hollow State Park is one of the most scenic
race locations in the country with the race
starting along the lake before heading up
into the sand dunes |
Maxxis’ Ryan Piplic snagged the holeshot in the
single row start and two battled it out. Piplic
made an inside move and two wheeled it. Bradbury
took advantage, hitting Piplic’s car as he took
the lead en route to his second victory of the
season. Bradbury came back from a rough crash
in last weekend’s Best in the Desert Series UTV
World Championship in Nevada that totaled his
car. RJ Anderson loaned him a virtually identical
RZR and Bradbury was quickly up to speed.

“It’s been a rough go and I have to give thanks
to RJ Anderson and the RJ 37 Off Road Team,” said
Bradbury. “Everything is the same except the tires,
so I put a set of my GBC Dirt Commander Tires
on it and everything was hooking up really well.
I have to give it up to Ryan Piplic. We raced
clean back and forth. He had a mistake over a
berm and I got into him, but we had a fun battle.”

Walker Evan Racing’s Cody Bradbury nearly missed
the race after his crash last weekend. He credited
Holz Racing Products for saving his life in the
tumble. Anderson actually won the World Championship
in the same car he drove here.

Racing's Cody Bradbury held off Ryan Piplic
to secure the Pro SXS WORCS Win at Sand
Hollow for the 2nd Straight Year |
“I had a bad crash at the UTV World Championship
and I actually debated even coming here,” said
Bradbury. “I caught a berm in the dust and went
end over end six times, but the Holz Racing Products
cage really did its job and held up. I am still
sore.”
