The top 3 overall finishers (Walker Fowler, Michael Keleman, and Joshua Merritt) took to the Podium. The Youth Racing Action will resume this September at the Yadkin Vallery Stomp in Yadkinville, NC.

Congratulations to all the Youth racer that made the trip to Sparta.

With the Morning Race starting at 10AM, I quickly geared up after the Youth Race and mounted the Polaris Predator to join Jeff Stoess on the Polaris Outlaw at the starting line as we were both racing in the Sportsman Class this weekend on almost completely stock Polaris ATVs besides the addition of Tireballs and few setup changes performed by GNCC Polaris Racer, John Gallagher.

Brock Parker was back on his Kawasaki after racing a Can Am at the WPSA this previous weekend in Georgia where he took the Win on Saturday and claimed $500 ATVriders.com Rock N Roll Award.

Brock was on a roll at the Penton when he took a nasty spill going through the mulch, which sidelined him for the remainder of the race, but he feels great and was ready to pickup where he left off at the Penton before his wreck.

Can-Am (BRP) are really stepping it up as they now have a full rig, which will travel to the all the races for the remainder of the year.
