2006 GNCC Series Round #5 - Loretta Lynn's - ATV Race Coverage

Franklin Grimplin and John Kenney would spin out going through the second turn, but Grimplin would recover and finish out the race in 3rd place with Kenney finishing in 5th.

John Cunningham Jr. was at the rear of the pack and would catch a rut heading through turn two which almost sent him sailing, but he was able to straighten it out and work his way up into second place.

Thomas Wright would grab the Holeshot on his East Coast ATV Honda with Shawn Gillispie and John Rowlings right behind him.

Wright would lose it in turn two when his lost traction in the rear and spun out, which sent Gillispie and Rowlings scrambling to avoid ramming into him.

Thomas Wright did a complete 360 with John Rowlings just avoiding him. Wright would get going again mid pack. Daniel Ketterer would take advantage of all the excitement with the front runners and worked his way into the lead by the end of the 1st lap, which unfortunately would be his last lap. This opened the door for Tom Miller to take over the lead with Chris Earlywine finishing in the runners up spot followed by John Rowling.

4 Stroke Stock A/B

The Stock Class in the Afternoon continues to be a small class with only 7 entries at Loretta’s, but it has two very talented riders chasing after the Championship with Todd Rothermel and Matt Hanna alternating wins this year. The start of the race was no different with this pair battling it out for the lead.

Todd Rothermel would win the battle and take the lead on his Polaris Outlaw, and he would go on to the easy win with Adam Reed finishing in second place followed by Justin Wright. Matt Hanna apparently ran into issues, and he finished out the race in 6th place.

Brian Foltz was playing bumper cars through the second turn as he bounced off of Justin Wright, which slowed the pair down without any major incident

Open B
Nathan Wallpe was on a mission as he wasted no time pulling away from the rest of the over 40 riders as he lead from start to finish with a 3 minute lead over Brian Adams at the Checkered Flag. The win marked the 3rd for Wallpe this year as he extends his points lead over James Davis in second place.

Behind Wallpe all havoc broke out as riders began bouncing off each other around two turn with Derek Beaman’s Honda being popped into the air, which sent him flying off his ATV as riders darted in every direction.
