Teammates Matt Hancock and Gareth Dihel Shine in WORCS SxS Round 4

Matt Hancock is flying high in third place overall in WORCS Pro SxS

The K&N-sponsored UTV racer piloted his Polaris RZR to podium finishes in both the Pro SxS and Pro Stock classes. That kind of consistency is what championship runs are made of. “I needed the points,” said Hancock. “It’s still early in the year and we’re looking for a championship.”

“One, two, and three were all non-turbo cars which is pretty unreal,” said Hancock, who ran a non-turbo in Havasu. “This track doesn’t provide a huge advantage for the turbo cars.”

Hancock’s teammate, Gareth Dihel had a stellar, while slightly less consistent race weekend in Lake Havasu. In a doubleheader round for the amateur classes, Dihel won the first of the two SxS 1000 Stock events on Saturday. He finished 15th in the second race staged on Sunday.

“Everything went really well on Saturday,” said Dihel. “A lot of people frown on this course because it’s so rough, but I like Havasu. It’s in a really cool area and I like that people can see a lot of the course.”

Dihel’s now leads his class championship series by 11 points on the season.

Next on the schedule for Hancock and Dihel is the WORCS race in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Orleans Arena.
