Yamaha's
Walker Fowler rebounded from a bad wreck
in Florida to claim the Pro-Am Class win
in Georgia with an impressive 8th overall
finish |
In the XC2 division, Yamaha rider Walker Fowler
rebounded from a disappointing showing in last
week's opening round at River Ranch to post an
impressive win in the XC2 class. Fowler passed
Motorcycle-usa.com Holeshot Award winner Parker
Jones to take the lead on the opening lap and
then rode away to an easy win.
"That last race in Florida was kind of
a bummer for us," said Fowler. "I
wanted to come out and show everyone what I
had and I don't know what happened. But today,
[Adam] McGill told me to just slow down, and
that's what I did and I rode smart and it paid
off."

HMF's
Brian Wolf rebounded from a 1st turn spin-out
to claim a spot on the Podium |
Jones held on to take second on his Honda (in
addition to the $100 that goes with the Motorcycle-usa.com
Holeshot Award), while round-one winner Brian
Wolf rebounded from a slip in the first turn
to finish second.
"I just spun out in that first turn and
I was almost last when I got going," said
Wolf. "I just put on a charge and moved
up and then on the last lap I came up on Parker
and we were going back and forth and when we
got to the motocross section I was able to pull
him."
FRE KTM's Josh Kirkland finished fourth with
Yamaha-mounted Kevon Yoho in fifth.
