Taylor Robert chased Oliveira
but couldn't make the pass.
The defending champ had to
settle for second.
"I made a mistake about two thirds of the
way through the race and had to come back
from that," said Robert. "Dante just didn't
make any mistakes and he was riding really
well. We were super close the whole time
and we were both pushing really hard."
Hoeft returned to WORCS competition this
season after having last run the season as a
youth racer. He left off-road to pursue a moto-
cross career but elected to go back to his
roots this season. He seems to have made
the right decision as he scored the final spot
on the podium.
"I grew up doing WORCS when I was eight
years old, but then I started doing moto-
cross," said Hoeft. "There wasn't a lot of
racing going on, so I came back to WORCS,
and I'm having a lot of fun. Two hours was
definitely challenging, but I'm on the podium,
and I'm planning to run the whole season."
