RZR's Seth Quintero grabbed the SXS 1000
Stock Holeshot |
“Slow and steady won the race,” said Dihel. “I
happened to make a move in traffic and never looked
back. This is going to save a lot of stress. I
should be a full race ahead in points and that
is going to be huge. I have to thank Randy Romo.
I brought a new steering rack with me, but I was
missing some parts. He had two complete tie rods
in his trailer. He let me have them and just said
to put one in the mail whenever. It’s cool to
have people like him here. It’s nice to meet someone
with a good heart willing help me out.”

over Seth Quintero heading into the final
two rounds of racing |
Quintero was excited to lead from the start and
see some clean air. The young racer is showing
experience and driving prowess this season that
defies his age.

“We just kept pushing but we couldn’t hold first
for the whole time,” said Quintero. “My good buddy
Gareth took the spot. Going on the points we’re
really close. We’re going to try to stay consistent
for the next two rounds and try to get that championship.”
