Despite the rough track conditions and the sandy back section the top riders turned out quick lap times averaging 9 ½ minutes on the short loop. With lap one complete Summers was still in the lead with Bobby Garrison in tow. Caselli had moved into the top ten while Soule was also moving forward already into 14th.

Three laps after the last pit stop the race was over. Caselli finished a solid 2nd place overall to maintain and lengthen his series points lead. Soule finished an impressive 5th place after a near last place start. “Both riders are extremely quick and it shows. Despite mediocre starts they finished well. I was happy to see Kurt increase his points lead and I couldn’t be more impressed with Justin’s charge from last into the top five,” commented Red Bull KTM Factory Off-Road Team Manager Antti Kallonen after the race.
Round 3 of the WORCS Series will take place March 14-16, 2008 in Lake Havasu, AZ.
