Rage ATV's Harold Goodman
Wins both Pro & Pro-Am ATV Races
::Continued::
“The first start, Daryl was out front because
of the jump, then for the second start I had the
holeshot and Michael Coburn was closing in on
me, but then they restarted it again. It was a
staggered start and that’s the first time
I have ever done one like that, but I got out
front and just held it all the way to the finish,”
explained Goodman.

Michael Coburn mounted an early charge on
Goodman, but he finished in the 2nd spot |
Michael Coburn was looking strong but the rough
track and restarts appeared to take a bit of a toll
on him. In the first restart, Coburn was gaining
on Goodman and it appeared he may even challenge
Goodman for the lead, but the restart couldn’t
have come at a worse time.
“I was closing in on Harold and then someone
spun out and they decided to red flag the race.
I was a little disappointed about that,”
said Coburn. On the second restart, Coburn was
in second and remained there for the entire race
to claim the second spot on the pro podium.

#25 Chuckie Creech & #27 Brad Riley
battling for the final podium spot |
Chuckie Creech was having a good weekend and
found his way to the podium in three classes.
In the Pro class, Creech was in a solid third,
but he had Brad Riley right on his grab bar.
“Brad is a tough competitor. He and I have
raced together for years and he is really good
at getting around people, but I was able to hold
him off for the whole race and finish in third,”
said Creech.

Brad Riley was looking strong as well despite
recovering from a motocross wreck that left him
with a couple fractured vertebrates in his spine.
Riley came off the start strong and was challenging
Chuckie Creech for most of the race.
“I definitely got my fair share of Chuckie’s
grab bar this weekend. I wasn’t really able
to push the issue this weekend because of being
injured so I’m hoping I will be able to
push a little harder for the next round,”
said Riley, who still took an impressive fourth
in the pro class.
Nathan Wolff rounded out the top five, and Josh
Hibdon went on to claim sixth place and Tanner
Young finished in seventh. Colter Loshbaugh held
on for an eighth place finish and Daryl Rath,
who was sent to the back of the pack for jumping
on the first start, took ninth, while Dustin Hoffman
rounded out the top ten in the pro class.
