running in 3rd place until his belt broke
on the final lap placing him in 7th position |
Frankfurt, KY (3/1/2011) - The
National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing team made the
trip to Primm, Nevada for Round 2 of the 2011 WORCS
series. Cold weather, high winds and snow greeted
the team at the Buffalo Bills race course located
35 miles south of Las Vegas. The UTV race was run
partly on the short Trophy Truck course with many
jumps and turns, and partly in the desert with lots
of sand whoops and high speed areas.
The 45 minute UTV race started out very good
for the National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing team,
running 3rd and 4th through lap 3 of the 4 lap
race. Scott Kiger was comfortably running right
with the top 2 UTVs, and was planning to kick
the pace up on the final lap. On lap 4 Kiger’s
drive belt failed and he was forced out of the
race, finishing in 7th position. This was much
unexpected, as drive belts are virtually unbreakable.
Yokley inherited 3rd position and finished the
race there. William Yokley was accompanied by
guest passenger David “Bird” Phillips,
who does much of the machine work for Doug Roll
at Roll Design. The new Polaris RZRs performed
well today, and Yokley is now leading the season
points. The UTV Team now looks forward to the
opening round of the GNCC UTV Series in Aonia
Pass, Georgia on March 12.

Racing's WORCS Pro ATV Racer Jarrod McClure |
The National Guard Coastal Yokley Racing ATV
was looking to improve on the results from Round
1. Team rider Jarrod McClure’s wrist injury
had improved, and he had been training and riding
in California. Jarrod got a great start in this
90 minute race, and was running in 2nd position
for the first few turns. He ran in the top five
for next 3 laps. When he came in for a fuel stop,
his bike was running rough and seemed down on
power. The crew checked the air filter and found
that it was clogged with dirt and sand. They made
a quick change, but he had lost time and was much
farther back in the pack. Jarrod rode well and
worked his way back up to 8th place at the finish.
He was pumped that he was able to run with the
top guys today, and now sits in 8th place in the
season points. Jarrod’s next ATV race is
Round 1 of the GNCC ATV Series in River Ranch
Florida on March 6.
