Cedar City, UT (5/27/2017) – Beau
Baron came into the Rocky Mountain ATV MC WORCS
Series present by Maxxis and Dirt Wheels Pro ATV
event at Iron Mine Race Park a little bummed out.
Having finished second in the last two races, he
wanted to get back on the top step of the box. He
did so, in dominating fashion, riding his Honda
to his fifth victory of the season. Mike Sloan finished
second on a Yamaha, ahead of the Honda of Robbie
Mitchell. Collins Webster and John Rickerd completed
the top five.

With beautiful weather, temperatures in the mid
60s and a slight breeze plus a record crowd, the
venue was poised for perfect racing. That breeze
was welcome as the track, especially on the back
section, was dusty. With a gated start, the ATVs
took on the fast and whooped up track that featured
Iron Mine’s awesome motocross section as well
as an endurocross area with logs and tires.

For Baron, he had something to prove and that
was obvious right from the start. Taking the lead
with his first holeshot of the season, Baron was
on a mission. He made a statement with the victory
and now holds a 30-point lead in the title chase.

“I rode relaxed the whole time and rode my own
race,” said Baron. “I had a really good time and
a lot of fun. These hard-pack slick tracks suit
my riding style and it showed. I’ve been a little
bit down lately so I just wanted to put my head
down, hammer it out and get another win.”
Sloan shook off bad luck experienced early in
the season to record his second consecutive podium.
After coming off the gate third, he quickly moved
up to second and followed Baron throughout the
race.

“It feels good to get closer to the top step
of the box,” said Sloan. “I ate some dust and
made my way to second. I stayed behind Beau and
kept nailing my lines. I got a good solid second
and I’m pretty pumped about the ride.”
Mitchell scored his first podium since his win
at the Orleans Casino and had to work for it.
Fighting ignition issues all race, he still held
onto third. The Utah native dedicated the finish
to a new baby that is due just after Thanksgiving.

“I had an electrical problem all weekend, and
I stayed up late last night trying to work on
it, but it still bogged down at the start,” said
Mitchell. “I struggled with the off-road section
yesterday so I made some suspension changes and
the bike worked awesome. I guessed and it worked
so I’m pretty happy today.”
