QTC Pro Stock

Points leader Scott Kilby (No. 207 Warnert Racing/Can-Am) continued his quest for the title with a victory in Round 1. Yet, Arctic Cat's new quads have proven strong this year, as Jesse West (No. 888 ITP Tires, Oil Boyz/Arctic Cat) and defending titleholder Daryl Rath (No. 67 Jack Link's/Arctic Cat) have both had competitive seasons thus far.

SuperSport Side by Side

The PowerSports ATV Tour unveiled the new SuperSport Side by Side Series as a professional class at the season opener. Fans and racers alike were in awe of the capability of these race-bred machines and their riders. Based on utility vehicles--like the Yamaha Rhino, the Arctic Cat Prowler--these machines are built from the ground up to race and will certainly be a highlight of the weekend.

All Pro Class Riders will be vying for one of the richest purses in ATV racing here. The Tour will award $22,500 in purse monies for the SuperQuad Pro 450 and QuadTerrain Pro Stock finals.

The purse pays to 20th place in the QuadMX Series and to 15th place in QuadTerrain Challenge. The purse structure awards $4,000 to win in QuadMX and $2,000 to win in QuadTerrain Challenge, with $15,000 and $7,500 available in each Series, respectively.

The Southwestern Championship kicks off Friday, June 1, with a full card of Pro qualifying. Pro qualifying continues Saturday with Amateur, Pro Am, Junior and Women's Class racing. Pro finals are scheduled for Sunday. Tickets, which start at $15 for adults and $5 for kids 6-15, will be available at the gate Friday morning.
