Youth ATV Race
Report
The Youth Production class has only been in the series
for a few years, but has quickly become the “Pro”
class of the youth riders. Each round is almost always
assured of a full gate for the main event when the racing
starts. In round 3 Branson Mo rider Wyatt Gann took the
Holeshot with two China Grove, NC riders, Jeffery Cunningham
and Tyler Corriher, hot on his tail. These three racers
were also in the same heat and Gann and Cunningham traded
positions twice for the lead while Corriher worked his
way through the pack. In the main event Gann never relinquished
the lead while the three riders pulled away from the rest
of the field. Gann took the checkered flag while Cunningham
was second and Corriher a close third.

#77 Lake Kuba
held off #5 Seth Gann to claim his 2nd win of
the season in a tight points chase in the 90
Mod (8-15) Class

The 90 modified class saw Lake Cuba take his second
win of the year after getting out front early and leading
all the way. Matthew Carter followed Cuba with Seth
Gann in third until the eighth lap when the three riders
got into lap traffic on the banking turn at the end
of the back straight. Cuba and Gann were able to get
around while Carter got tangled up with the lapped riders.
Cuba took the checkered flag followed by Gann, Carter,
Dakota Akers, and Kacee Frazier.
In the 90 Production class, Kacee Frazier, winner of
the first two rounds, took off to an early lead while
Garrett Keister and Daniel Bennett were in hot pursuit.
In the 3rd lap Frazier had engine troubles and had to
pull off the track leaving the door open for the other
riders. Keister and Bennett traded the top spot twice
before Keister won an exciting photo finish. Bennett
was second followed by Levi Johnson, Johnathan O’donnell,
and Kevin Haggerty.

In the 70 production class Randy Riden made it 3 for

taken the early lead. Nick Schriner worked his way through
the pack after a slow start to finish 2nd while Smith
was 3rd followed by Zachary Wentz and Cody Fingland.
In the 50 Stock Limited class, Logan Hitt got his first
ever EDT National win. After finishing 2nd in the heat
Hitt came back to take the checkered flag over 2nd place
finisher and winner of round 2, Bryar Riley, and first
round winner Will Harness. This class has seen a different
winner each round and is always fun to watch.
