Racing s' #27 Brad Riley grabbed the Pro-Am
ATV Holeshot |
Riley quickly pulled away from the field and
he went unchallenged for his first Pro-Am ATV
win of the season, which moved Riley within 21
points of Goodman in the points lead. “The
track was wet; once the gate dropped I launched
off the gate. My Maxxis Tires and DASA engine
was a killer combination and I got the holeshot.
Once I got out front I just checked out. I had
a several second lead by the end and just cruised
the last few laps,” said Riley

Maxxis'
#27 Brad Riley held the lead from start
to finish to claim his first Pro-Am ATV
win of the year in the Extreme Dirt Track
Series |
Houser Racing’s Harold Goodman charged
his way past several racer and Josh Hibdon to
take over the second spot behind Riley, but Goodman
was never able to make a run at Riley, so Goodman
settled into the second spot and cruised to the
second place finish, which still has Goodman in
firm control of the points lead. “I didn’t
get a great start in Pro Am and pushed really
hard. I made my way through the pack and got into
second. I couldn’t catch first, but it took
a lot of work to get into second so I am happy
with that,” said Goodman.

Honda East Toledo's #708 Harold Goodman
charged his way from a mid-pack start to
take over the second spot, which he held
to the checkered flag |
Goodman only claimed one win over the double
header weekend, but he did claim two second place
finishes, which still has him leading the points
in both the Pro and Pro-Am classes. For Goodman,
it was the first weekend his entire family was
at the track including he son, Trey, for his first
ever race.
It has been great to bring my family out to EDT
and it awesome to have my son out here with me.
It’s really a lot of fun,” said Goodman.
Josh Hibdon looked to have the final podium spot
locked up until just two laps from the finish,
he charge came to an end when he suffered a mechanical
issue, which left him on the sidelines. With Hibdon
sidelined, Coburn took over the final podium spot.

For Coburn, it was his first Podium finish in

at the opening round of the season.

Chuckie Creech works to free his foot from
betweeen his tire and nerf bar, which ended
his run in the top five |
Wiseco’s Chuckie Creech was running in the
top five until his foot got stuck between his nerf
bar and rear tire. “In Pro AM, my foot got
hung up between the nerf bar and the tire. By the
time I got my leg out, I was done. I just came off
and got ready for my next few races. I didn’t
want to burn all my steam out when I couldn’t
do anything since I was a lap behind,” said
Creech.
Nathan Wolff claimed the fourth spot followed
by Colter Loshbaugh rounding out the top five.
