SCORE Journal - You
had a great race at the 2016
SCORE San Felipe 250. What
were your feelings when
you won the UTV class?
Burnett - Yes, finally! I felt
relieved! All our hard work
and dedication had finally paid
off. After a devastating 2015
trying to get our car dialed in,
this win was exactly what my
team and I needed to get back
in the game. As you might
recall I had a tragic string of
events that started last August.
I broke my ankle while doing
an FMX show in Washington.
Then a few weeks later I was
getting ready to race when
both my $100K race car, and
my pre-runner burned down
to the ground the same day.
Right after the accidents with
my cars, I ended up in the
hospital with a staph infection.
I was hospitalized for two-
weeks. After breaking my ankle
in August I've been hospitalized
three times, dealt with three
staph infections and a pick-
line going from my right arm
right into my heart. It's been a
brutal recovery and I'm still not
well so to win the SCORE San
MARC BURNETT RACES

FELIPE DESERT FOR

THE 2016 SEASON
Felipe 250 this past February
was a great achievement for
me and my team. It set the
precedence for the rest of
the year. We look forward
to the rest of the season.
