Both athletes rode CST Pulse MXR tires to the ATV MX podium. “I am so happy with my performance today and my team as well,” Hetrick said on Instagram. “@phxracingatv had my quad dialed in all day long despite the conditions. Grabbing the fastest qualifier, a heat race win and the main event win felt amazing! The emotions were real today after the main event. I’ve had some bad runs at Daytona, but today, I felt different. All of the training and riding @deckertrainingfacility was such a huge help for this race. Had a great battle most of the race until I was able to make it to the lead and bring home the win! Things don’t always go as planned, but I told myself going into this race I was going to win, and I did just that. Such a crazy start to the 2022 race season, but I am thankful to come out of this race healthy and on top. Time to go back to work for Round 2!!”

 

Rastrelli was also thrilled with his WORCS Daytona results. “Stoked to leave @daytona on the box! The track was very hard to pass on and rough. I struggled a bit halfway through the main event but started to turn it around at the end. We have some things to work on, but I am happy to leave with a podium. Back to work and onto Texas! Thank you so much to everyone that came to support me yesterday! It was amazing to see how many people came to support me from friends to family.. thank you!” he said on Instagram.

Anderson, Baron Take WORCS Championships

Mitch Anderson clinched WORCS’ Pro 2 championship with a third-place race finish at Round 9, the final race of the season, and easily won the Open A title as well. Beau Baron took second place in the Pro ATV race as well as second place for the year, and won the SxS Pro Stock championship. WORCS’ Round 9 was held October 26-28 in Primm, Nevada.

Anderson took a spot on the podium at every Pro 2 WORCS race this year, and took a victory at Round 3. He racked up a total of 152 points in 2018.

In Open A, Anderson earned the championship by winning five of the six races in which he competed, including the season finale. He accumulated 141 points, 17 more than the second-place rider, by the season’s end, and also took second place overall in 450 A. “My program wouldn’t be where it is without CST tires,” he said. “A lot of credit goes to CST for sticking with me this year.”

Baron finished the season just one point away from first place in Pro ATV standings. He took four wins and turned in three second-place finishes this year. “One point; that’s all it is,” he said. “I won more races than anyone else this year, but it didn’t work out in my favor. I’m definitely bummed, but we’ll work hard on next year.”

The news was much better for Baron in SxS Pro Stock. After six turns on the podium, including two victories, he took the class championship with a total of 180 points for the year, an eight-point margin over the next rider.
