It was a day of firsts for both Nic Granlund and STI Tire & Wheel. Granlund scored his first Pro SxS victory at round six of the 2013 World Off-Road Championship Series, held at Pala Raceway in Southern California. The former ATV champ topped a field of more than 50 UTVs during the six-lap race on a rugged course consisting of both desert and motocross terrain.
It also marked the first WORCS win for STI’s new Roctane XD tire. Granlund utilized 27-inch Roctanes mounted on STI’s 14-inch HD Beadlock wheels on all four corners of his Polaris RXR XP 900 to triumph by just six seconds after more than 52 minutes of action.
