Brian Wolf grabbed the Holeshot by edging
out Kevin Yoho, but Wolf lead would quickly
end with a DNF, which allows the XC2 field
to close the gap on Wolf's Pro-Am Points
lead |
In the XC2 race, series points leader Brian Wolf
grabbed the $100 Motorcycle-USA.comholeshot award
on his HMF Honda, but a derailed chain on the
first lap spoiled the Ohio riders chances for
a third win of the year. In the meantime, a bevy
of Yamaha riders took advantage of the situation,
with Gabe Phillips coming out on top of a three-way
battle with Eric Hoyland and Kevin Yoho to take
his first-ever win.
"I honestly didn't know where I was running,
but I ended up taking the lead with about three
miles left to go," said Phillips. "Hoyland
and Yoho were in front of me and I got them up
a hill - I took a better line and got the lead."
Another Yamaha rider, Walker Fowler, was fourth,
with FRE/KTM's Josh Kirkland in fifth and Yamaha
rider Mark Notman in sixth. Ian Laufersweiler
rode a Honda to seventh, with Suzuki rider Blake
Kramer finishing eighth ahead of Honda riders
Nathan Beyers and Michael Lancaster.

Dave Simmons claims his 4th straight Overall
Win followed by Women's Traci Cecco &
Angel Atwell |
In the morning race, Dave Simmons once again
won the GT Thunder ATV Amateur $100 Overall

Yamaha rider Traci Cecco and FRE KTM's Angel
Atwell.
Cecco finished second overall and won the Women's

in the Women's division. Atwell led Cecco until
the two entered the motocross track for the
final time, at which point Cecco passed Atwell
to win the division.
"It was so muddy you couldn't tell who
you were battling with but it was great fun
racing with Dave and Angel up and down the hills,"
Cecco said of the race.
