2004 GNCC Round #6 Loretta Lynn's PM Race

Brad Page had slipped back to 4th after leading earlier in the lap, and Chad Duvall was all over his rear bumper as they followed a slower rider down the decline.

Once they hit the MX track, Chad Duvall took his YFZ to flight once again, and was able to make the pass on Brad Page to capture the 4th place spot.

Brad Page had an incredible race for the second time this year on his 450R. He has finished 5th overall both races this year, and was disappointed that he could hold on for the win. He told me after the race that his back gave out on him and he just couldn't keep going at speed he needed to win. His home track Sparta is next week, and I have no doubt that we will again see Brad again out front some point in the race because both him and Yokley seem to excel their!

Jared Gruca finished 12th for the 2nd race in a row!

Rob Zimmerman put in his last ride on his 400EX and will most likely be switching to a 450R by Sparta. He was finished 22nd overall which was the best finish of anyone on a 400EX.

Paul Rowlands returned from Europe after skipping both Carolina races, but unfortunately he ran into problems on the 2nd lap and was only able to finish 3 laps. I am sure his Dirt First Racing / Duncan Team will have him ready again for Sparta.

Johnny Gallagher also only finished three laps after battling with his broken seat during the race.

Better luck next time Johnny C :macho

Bill Ballance won his fifth GNCC race in a Row and extended his points lead to 51 over William Yokley who finished 2nd.

William Yokley was excited to be back on the podium after struggling the last round with some setup changes. He told everyone that he would be back on the podium next week, and he wasn't kidding. William Yokley was smiling like always and thanked his sponsors (Xtreme Gear, ITP, ELKA, IMS, Tireballs, and Yoshimura) for their support this year.

The one cool thing about William Yokley's clothing sponsor Xtreme is that you can tell who he is on the track. I wear the same gear myself and its bright colors makes it easier for my pit crew to spot me, which is a good thing.

Great Racing William :D

Chris Borich finally made it to the podium this year after switching to the YFZ. After just barely missing the podium with three 4th place finishes, Chris Borich made it happen. He has been agressively working out the bugs on his YFZ, and he is confident that it is riding just as well as his 250R was in the past.

With a little luck on his side, I expect to see chris on the podium more often as the season progresses. Last year, Chris came on strong in the end, and I don't expect any less from him this year which will make for some very exciting racing action to come in the second half of the seaon.

I doubt he will be able to catch Ballance at this point for the championship, but William Yokley better keep an eye out for Chris Borich looking to retain his #2 plate next year.

Congrats Chris:macho

Chris Borich and William Yokley sprayed each other down during the podium celebration.

Pro Am Class

Jeremy Rice has been the star of the Pro Am class so far this year! He has lead the last five races, but unfortunately he broke at Florida and South Carolina and wasn't able to finish. He still managed to win two with a mix of a 250R and 450R. Jeremy quickly adapted to the 450R and hasn't looked back.
