Guard / Yokley Racing's William Yokley took
his second win of the season at Big Buck
GNCC |
Frankfurt, KY (4/19/2012) - National
Guard / Polaris / Coastal / Yoshimura / DragonFire
/ Yokley Racing Team driver William Yokley finished
1st Overall and 1st in the Side by Side XC1 Modified
Class. National Guard / Polaris / Coastal / Yoshimura
/ Yokley Racing Team driver Scott Kiger finished
4th Overall and 4th in the same class. There were
37 total entries with 19 XC1 Modified teams in the
race today. William’s guest passenger was
his wife Tina, and Scott’s passenger was Joe
Waligora.
The GNCC Series moved on to the Big Buck in
South Carolina for Round 2 of the Side by Side
machines. Since the area has had very little rain
leading up to the race, the track was very dusty.
The course was rough with lots of ruts, and a
good start would be very important. Other than
the dry conditions, the weather was great with
temps in the low 80’s.

The start flag dropped and after the first few
turns, Yokley was in 2nd place with Kiger in 5th.
Yokley made a pass for the lead in the first open
field section where he could really open up the
Yoshimura tuned Polaris. He then proceeded to
open up a sizable gap heading into the 2nd lap
of the four mile course. Meanwhile, Scott Kiger
was mired behind a nose to tail group of machines
which were churning up clouds of vision blocking
dust. At times, he had to come to a complete stop
in order to see the course. Once he worked his
way past those machines into some cleaner air,
he was a considerable distance behind teammate
Yokley.
Even though he was now turning lap times as fast
as Yokley, he could not close the gap. Kiger finished
in 4th place on adjusted time. Yokley was able
to build a nice gap over the field, and controlled
the pace while taking care of his Ranger RZR XP900.
He finished the one hour race with more than a
2 ½ minute lead. Both of the National Guard
/ Polaris / Coastal machines ran and handled great.
The next GNCC Side by Side race is the Mountaineer
Run in Masontown West Virginia on May 26. The
team is scheduled to display the race cars and
team hauler at the National Guard presentation
at Thunder over Louisville Kentucky on Saturday
April 21. This is one of the largest air and fireworks
shows in the country, and is the signature event
leading up to the KY Derby the first week of May.
