Barnes and McGhee quickly powered their Polaris RZR S 1000 off the start to capture the holeshot and lead their row into the woods. Barnes settled into a good pace on the opening lap and was running really well until he noticed that his brakes were completely gone.

"From that point on, I had to learn a whole new method of racing," Barnes said. "Basically our new stopping method was to swerve to the left and then swerve to the right and back to the left again in order to slow down. We eventually mastered that technique and used it for the next four laps."

Barnes and McGhee put their heads down and continued to push ahead as they battled for a top-ten position for a majority of the race. However, as a result of the extreme measures taken to slow the machine down, the duo encountered a bearing carrier fail on the final lap that ultimately ended their day before reaching the checkered flag. 

Despite the outcome, Barnes is confident in the team's ability to finish up front and he is positive about the progress being made alongside his Factory Polaris Team.

"We have put in countless hours testing and developing this program and we're going to continue working hard between races. Our Factory Polaris Team had each of its sponsors represented very well in our display over the weekend and we are very pleased with the level of support and great products from our sponsors."
