2005 GNCC "Yadkin Valley Stomp" Round #10 Morning ATV Racing Coverage

Ken Vickerd jumped out to a huge lead in the first lap, but a slow second lap would allow Richard Rudloff to make up a 2.5 minute gap and take over the lead.

John Gallagher was able to hold on to finish second place ahead of Ken Vickerd, but the race put a beaten on his wrist after he reinjured and old wrist injury over the summer break, but he felt it was fully healed up, but it wasn't as he was in some pain after the race, but he still wouldn't let it stop him from finishing the race.

Jennifer Albright dropped back to 5th place behind Stefanie Verkade where the pair remained to the end of the race with Shanna Bradshaw just missing a top five finish with her 6th place finish.

Thomas Wright's Charge continued as he continued to work his way through the 35+ C Class mile marker by mile marker, and by the end of the race, he worked from over a minute down in last place to within one minute of the class winner, Glen Pritchard with Thomas Wright finishing in second Place, which was plenty enough to wrap up his Class Championship.

Ken Robey's extended his consecutive wins in the Utility Stock Class to three as he applies the pressure to Mike Penland in his attempt to win his 12th GNCC Championship.

Kevin Trantham battled with Ken Robey for the lead for three laps and was on his way to second place finish, but he never completed the final lap which dropped him back to 7th place.

Michael Swift held onto the 3rd spot in the Utility Stock Class after the first lap with Mike Penland applying the pressure in 4th.

Mike Penland's new rider definitely isn't lacking any horsepower as he was able to walk away from Honda 450R and Yamaha YFZ450 machines down the straight-a-ways.

Penland was able to pass swift in the second lap and moved up into 2nd place after Kevin Trantham dropped out of the race in the 4th lap and was gaining speed with every lap as he became more comfortable with his new ride.

Jim Stack put in his best race of the season holding off Scott Kilby's charge for two laps, but in the 3rd lap, Kilby was able to make the pass and pull almost a two minute lead over Stack in second place by end of the race.
