Moose Racing's Jarrod McClure once again ended the GNCC season with a big win at the Ironman for the second straight year, which boosted him to 4th in points

The Ironman GNCC is always the last stop of the GNCC series in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The old “Always save the best for last” quote can be used at this race because it is definitely a favorite among a majority of racers. The facility brings to the table everything a GNCC track could offer, steep hills, creek crossings, tight woods, and open fields. The track conditions were near perfect for the day as racers headed to the start to let it all hang out at the last race of the season.

DWT’s Jarrod McClure pulled a great start going into the woods in the fourth place position. Jarrod quickly worked his way up into second place behind Adam Mcgill but was soon passed back by Chris Borich and Brycen Neal coming onto the end of lap one.

DWT's Jarrod McClure charged his way into the lead in lap 4, which he held to the checkered flag for the win

“It was nice to get out front early here, I made some quick moves and worked my way into second but then Borich got by me in the fields and Brycen also passed me on a nice line in the woods. I knew I just had to stay smooth and keep the pressure on the front guys“, said McClure.

McClure was able to get around both Neal and Borich and latch onto Adam Mcgill for the second time during the race and the duo of Baldwin powered Hondas began to gap the field. At about the halfway point Adam encountered a mechanical issue allowing Jarrod a clear track where he was able to charge to the finish with nearly a three minute lead over second place.

“It is so awesome to end the season like this, it felt great to be out front for most of the race having fun with no pressure. These are the rides you dream of and its awesome to see hard work pay off.“ said McClure.

JMR’s XC2 Pro Am racer Randy Hamilton pulled another holeshot in the XC2 Pro Am Class, but hit a tree early on and bent his frame taking him out of the fight for the win. Randy battled with Greg Covert much of the race and despite having a bent frame was able to hold off Covert and finish second for the day.

JMR's Randy Hamilton grabbed the Pro-Am XC2 Holeshot & went on to finish in 2nd place & 14th overall for the year

“My Big Nutz Racing powered motor pulled another awesome holeshot in the XC2 class and got me out front again. After hitting the tree, I knew something was bent so I took a lap to adjust and figure out how to ride the machine. I am happy with the second place after the crash but would have loved to get the win ”, said Hamilton.

Final results for the season are Jarrod McClure finishing fourth overall in the XC1 Pro class, while his team mate Randy Hamilton finished fourth in the XC2 Pro Am class and 14th overall for the year. The JMR team cannot thank there sponsors enough for all the support and plan on coming back next year with an even stronger program.
