Honda rider Kevin Yoho claimed the $100 Motorcycle-USA.com
Award to start the XC2 race, but it was Kawasaki's
Dustin Canipe who led the pack into the woods
on the opening lap.
Brian Wolf put his Honda around Canipe on lap
two to take the lead, and held on to take his
second win of the season. Yoho passed Canipe
on the final lap to claim third.
"The Steele Creek track was rough today
and the field was tough," said Wolf. "I
snuck around Yoho on the first lap and I followed
Canipe for just over a lap and then finally
made a move."
Honda-mounted Parker Jones beat round two winner
Walker Fowler to finish fourth.
With three rounds in the books, Wolf leads
the series standings with 85 points, followed
by Yoho with 62 and Jones with 55.
Dave Simmons won the Super Senior 50+ class
and by doing so also claimed the $100 GT Thunder
Amateur Overall award. The Yamaha-mounted Simmons
battled early in the race with Glen Pritchard
, but pulled away in the end.
"I knew Glen was going to be tough,"
said Simmons. "We went back and forth for
a while."
Traci Cecco finished second overall, and topped
the Women's division on her Yamaha, beating
Can-Am's Lexie Coulter, who finished third overall,
and Yamaha-mounted Jennifer Albright for the
win.
