William Yokley & Scott Kiger Go 1-2 Big Buck
GNCC
William Yokley Wins SxS Open
Modified Class in Polaris RZR XP 900 UTV
Frankfurt, KY (4/11/2011) - National
Guard Polaris Coastal DragonFire Yokley Racing Team
driver William Yokley finished 1st Overall and 1st
in the Side by Side Open Modified Class, and National
Guard Polaris Coastal Yokley Racing Team driver
Scott Kiger finished 2nd Overall, capping a successful
day for the team. There were 50 total entries with
29 Open Modified teams in the race today. William’s
guest passenger was his wife Tina, and Scott’s
passenger was his mechanic, Joe Waligora.
The Big Buck is a popular stop on the GNCC schedule
every year, and great weather greeted the racers
with sunshine and temps in the 80’s. The
Polaris Yokley Side by Side Team has continued
to refine the new RZR XP-900 for GNCC racing.
Actually, the team runs many stock parts including
the motor in this top-level cross country race
series.
William Yokley started on row 1 because he is
the series points leader, and Scott Kiger started
in row 4. When the starter’s flag dropped,
William battled with Daryl Rath for the first
few turns, and then slipped ahead as they headed
into the woods. He had clear sailing for the first
couple of laps until he ran into lappers. The
RZR was handling and working very well, and he
was able to extend his lead to more than 4 minutes
at the finish. The track was fast with a few dusty
areas.
Scott Kiger, on the other hand, had his work
cut out for him, starting behind so many other
machines. He tried to be patient, but had to be
aggressive at the same time. He move up to 5th
after lap 1, then 4th on lap 2, and then was 2nd
on lap 3 until the finish. He noticed his front
bumper flapping up and down in front of him on
the last lap. When he finished and examined it,
the mounts were broken off and the winch cable
was the only thing holding it on. So much for
being patient! William still leads the GNCC season
points, and Scott has moved up, tied for 2nd.
The next race for the team is the WORCS event
at Cahuilla Creek Raceway in Anza, California
on April 23. Before that, the team hauler will
provide a display area for the National Guard
at the annual Thunder over Louisville KY festivities.
The 90 foot hauler makes for a large area to showcase
the RZR XP-900 race machines as well as other
Polaris ATVs. The display will compliment the
other military equipment and helicopters for this
one day aircraft and fireworks show. Last year,
more than 700,000 people attended this event.
We will keep you informed and thanks for your
support and interest in Yokley Racing.
