Once out front, Cooke kept on the gas and pulled
away from the rest of the pack to take the Pro-am
Unlimited win. “We were overdue for this
win. We have been working hard all year and it
has finally paid off for us today and I couldn’t

was a season best for Cooke |

#27 Brad Riley claimed the 2nd spot in the
ProAm Unlimited Class |
Brad Riley, who was in the top five off the start
powered his way through the pack and quickly caught
up to Michael Coburn, who had dropped to second.
Coburn held off Riley for several laps, but Coburn
got caught up in the loose dirt off the side of
the track, allowing Riley to get by. Riley pushed
hard, but was unable to catch Kirby Cooke in time
to make a move for the lead and settled in for a
second place finish.
Nathan Wolff was able to make a good run I the
Pro-am Unlimited class. Wolff got a good start
in the top five and kept on the gas. Wolff was
able to move into the top three when Coburn went
off the track late in the race and held on to
take the final spot on the Pro-am Unlimited podium.

Nathan Wolff put in an impressive ride as
he charged his way past #038 Michael Coburn
to claim the final spot on the Podium with
a 3rd place finish |
Michael Coburn had grabbed the holeshot, but
seemed to be having some traction issues. Coburn
got a little squirrely in a turn and that allowed
Cooke to get by, dropping Coburn back to second.
Coburn then came under attack by Brad Riley and
went a little too wide in a corner and got out
in the loose dirt of the track and lost momentum,
which put him back into fourth place, where he
would stay until reaching the checkered flag.
“I had some traction issues but I still
had a good finish, and I did grab the holeshot,
so it didn’t go too bad. There are still
three rounds left in the season so I am still
going to be out there giving it my all and hopefully
take home a championship at the end of the year,”
said Coburn.
Chuckie Creech held on to take the number five
spot in the Pro-am Unlimited class, with Brian
Foltz in sixth and Kelsey Stamm in seventh. Dillon
Conant took an eighth place finish with Daniel
Chepkauskas finishing ninth and Michael Houghton,
Jr. rounding out the top ten.
