The K&N-Sponsored Pro Motorsports UTV Team has Eventful WORCS Round 8
- Jun 6, 2017
Hancock was extremely fast in Pro Stock practice and he carried that speed into the start of the main event. He jumped out to the lead early in the race. Unfortunately, an electrical gremlin took Hancock out of contention and he ended up finishing 15th. He now sits in 4th overall in the WORCS Pro Stock points standings. “The car was dialed in...I had a car that could win the race,” said Hancock. “I got out front and just started driving my race. Then bad luck struck. I had a radiator fan plug pull apart, the car overheated and it went into limp mode. It was pretty devastating to me. We have three rounds left. I know (what) I can do and I am just going to keep charging.”
“The car was running awesome, but I had issues pulling out of the corners,” said Hancock. “I needed the points, and the finish is not what I know I’m capable of. I know I can run up front, but at least we got a finish and got some points.” Hancock finished the Pro race in 11th and is now planted in the fourth position in points in that class, as well. Dihel had issues of his own in the SxS 1000 Stock race, but his end result was much more positive than his teammate. Dihel was on a mission after his DNF in the prior WORCS round. Like Hancock, Dihel got a solid start, but his race quickly turned upside down...literally.
After he righted the ship, Dihel finished 3rd, and now holds a solid 20-point lead in the SxS 1000 Stock championship race. The K&N-sponsored Pro Motorsports race team will return to action as the WORCS series heads to the first of two races at Glen Helen Raceway in Devore, California.
