Racing's Walker Fowler continues an
impressive Rookie XC2 Season with a
solid 2nd place finish

"I saw Walker behind me after the start
and I knew it was going to be a long day,"
said Wolf. "We had a blast out there, going
back and fourth, and I'm surprised I came out
on top – I haven't trained much this summer.
But it was a good race and I'm happy to come
out with the win."
Fowler led much of the race and when he wasn't
in the lead he was right on Wolf's tail, that
is, until the final lap when Wolf finally pulled
away.
"I was right there and I just couldn't
make it happen," Fowler said. "It
is what it is and you can't take anything away
from Brian, he's an awesome rider."
