The challenging course was rough but Matt Hancock was ready as he grabbed the holeshot. “My Maxxis tires hooked up great with my Sparks motor, which was great because it got dusty.” – said Hancock.

Hancock was running in the second spot for most of the Pro-Am race, but the dropped back to third before the checkered flag for the final spot on the podium. “My pro Motorsports quad was working great out there. My Elka suspension worked good and my Tire Blocks really made a difference with all the rock sections. It was a tough race, and I am glad to be on the podium again.” – said Hancock.

In the Pro ATV class, Jeff Hancock was looking good early in the race, but a crash set him back. “At about mile marker two, there was a kicker on this one jump and it sent me over the bars. It took me a little while to get going again, and I was at the back of the pack.” – said Hancock.
Jeff Hancock continued to race and climbed his way into fourth place before crossing the finish line. “It was tough out there, and I am just glad to finish today. Hopefully things will go better at the next round.” – Hancock said.
