#25 Chuckie Creech rounded out the top five
on the 450R |
Chuckie Creech, who made the switch back to Honda
this season, had a great start in second behind
Harold Goodman. Creech was under intense pressure
from both Michael Coburn and Brad Riley, but held
his position for half of the race before both racers
got by him. Creech then battled it out with Nathan
Wolff and fell back to finish in the number five
spot.
“We have been doing a lot of work and we
are getting everything dialed in. I had a great
start thanks to Turtle Racing for building a great
motor and LTE for an amazing exhaust. I also have
to thank PEP. We are running a new shock and it
has been working really well,” said Creech,
who finished in fifth place.
Daryl Rath took third in his heat race, but was
only able to climb to the number six spot in the
Pro main before crossing the finish line, while
Jordan Rummage settled in for a seventh place
finish.
Jimmy Medlin held on for an eighth place finish
and Brian Ace finished in ninth, with Kristopher
Bures round out the top ten.
The Pro-am class was almost a repeat for Houser
Racing’s Harold Goodman after he grabbed
his second holeshot of the night and checked out.
“There were some lappers out there for the
Pro-am race and they kind of slowed me up a bit
because it was a little hard to pass, but I still
took the win and I’m pretty happy with how
the whole weekend went,” said Goodman.

Honda East
Toledo's #708 grabbed the Pro-Am Heat
Holeshot & he followed it again in
the Main, and Goodman once again lead
from start to finish to secure the win

| Once
again the battle was on between #27 Brad
Riley & #038 Michael Coburn |
Brad Riley was in the number three spot off the
start and was hot on the heels of Michael Coburn.
The pair battled for most of the race until the
final lap when lap traffic came into play. Riley
was able to take advantage of the lappers and got
around Coburn to take a second place finish.
Michael Coburn did an excellent job of holding
off Brad Riley for most of the Pro-am race, but
in the final lap, Coburn got together with a lapper
and was hung up just long enough for Brad Riley
to get by, giving Coburn a third place finish.
“I ran into a lapper and got hung up for
a few seconds and Brad was able to slip by me
again. In all it was still a good weekend and
I had good races so I am happy with how everything
went,” said Coburn.

Jordan Rummage was looking good in the Pro-am
class and held off Chuckie Creech to finish in
fourth.
Chuckie Creech was towards the back of the pack
off the start for the Pro-am main but was able
to power his way through traffic and work his
way into a fifth place finish.
Jimmy Medlin claimed a sixth place finish with
Andrew Evanyke in seventh and Daniel Chepkauskas
in eighth. Landon Mummert held on for a ninth
place finish and Brooks Williams rounded out the
top ten in the Pro-am class.
