SUTHERLIN TAKES SAND
HOLLOW WORCS WIN
R
eigning WORCS Pro Cham-
pion, Gary Sutherlin, made
a dramatic return to racing by
claiming the win at round five of
the 2015 Rocky Mountain MC
World Off-Road Championship
Series presented by Maxxis and
Dirt Bike. Precision Concept's
Robby Bell's winning streak
ended at four with his second-

Eric Yorba earned his first Pro
podium of 2015.
John Burr Cycle's Steve
Gibson grabbed the holeshot,
but was quickly passed by
RPM KTM's Eric Yorba before
the end of the first lap. By the
second lap, Yorba came under
fire from Sutherlin and Bell who
both got off to slow starts. But
the duo spent the rest of the
race battling for the lead and
the Sand Hollow win as they
controlled the front two spots.
They swapped the lead multiple
times, and during the final lap
they both cranked it up in a
mad dash to the finish line with
Sutherlin recording the fast lap
of the race.
"I kept enough in the tank for
the last lap, and sure enough we
went out and had a great battle
going on," Sutherlin said. "We
were screaming and fist-pump-

ended up wrecking, which was
too bad. It would have been fun
to hold that battle all the way into
the finish line for everybody."
"On the last lap we were side
by side, and it was pretty awe-
some," Bell said. "But our battle
