2011 ATV Extreme Dirt
Track Pro & Pro-Am Race Report
::Continued::
Joining Cooke and Creech on the Pro-am Unlimited
podium was Yamaha mounted, Dustin Hoffman. Hoffman,
who finished second in his heat race, battled hard
against a charging Brad Riley and took his best
finish of the season in the number three spot on
the podium.
Brad Riley came off the Pro-am Unlimited start
in fifth place and made the pass on Nathan Wolff
to take over fourth. Riley chased down Hoffman
but couldn’t make a pass before crossing
the finish line, forcing him to settle for fourth
place.
Kristopher Bures was looking good as he charged
his way to round out the top five, leaving Michael
Coburn to settle for sixth place with Nathan Wolff
taking seventh. Paula Shank ended her day in eighth
with Jared Hulling in ninth and Brian Foltz rounding
out the top ten Pro-am Unlimited class.

In the Pro-am class Harold Goodman grabbed another
holeshot with Chuckie Creech and Brad Riley right
on his heels. Goodman was able to hold his line
and keep both racers from making any attempts
to get by, giving him the Pro-am win. “Chuckie,
Brad and I were all really close, almost like
a freight train, for the whole race, but I was
able to stay out font and take another win,”
said Goodman.

Holeshot in the Pro-Am Class & Goodman
held the lead from start to finish to extend
his points lead to 31 points over Chuckie
Creech, so Goodman could wrap-up the Pro-Am
Champion in South Dakota by finishing in
front of Chuckie Creech |
“I was close to Harold, but I just couldn’t
get around,” stated Chuckie Creech, who
would claim second in the Pro-am class. “It
was a really good race and we were all really
tight out there and all it would have taken was
for one of us to make a mistake, but we all held
our lines and rode well,” he added.
Brad Riley was in third off the line and followed
Goodman and Creech closely for the entire race,
finishing in the number three spot. “It
was just us three from start to finish. We started
that way and we ended that way,” stated
Riley.
