“It feels good to be back on the podium,
today’s race was a lot of fun,”
said Bithell. “The DS450 was working
awesome out there, I’m feeling comfortable
and confident with it and that makes a huge
difference on days like today.”
Bowers/Coastal National Guard/Yokley Racing’s
Jarrod McClure ran into some issues on the
start that set him into last place right away,
but McClure powered through the pack and landed
his highest finish of the season with fourth
overall.
North Carolina’s Bryan Cook missed
the first two rounds but finished an impressive
fifth overall for the day, while BNR’s
Kevin Yoho also put in a season-best sixth

2012 XC1 Pro-Am Class win at the Big
Buck GNCC |
DeRisi Racing’s Eric Hoyland finally secured
his first-ever GNCC win in the XC2 Pro Am division;
a feat the Virginia native has been working
at for over three years. Hoyland’s round

field in championship point standings. Tireballs-backed
Patrick McGuire only holds a one-point lead
over Hoyland, and Henthorn sits in a comfortable
third for now. Waynesburg Yamaha’s Gabe
Phillips finished tenth for the day, but still
holds fourth place over Greg’s ATV &
Cycle’s Matt Hanna, who picked up his
first podium finish of the season at Big Buck.
Ohio’s Brycen Neal finished fourteenth
overall in the PM race taking home the Top

Brown (YAM).
Indiana’s Marshal Goings (HON) is well
on his way to a dominant year in the Sport
(15+) class as he extended his points lead
with another class-win, in addition to topping
the AM overall for the first time this season.
Super Senior (45+) Dave Simmons came in second,
while Yamaha Racing’s Traci Cecco took
third overall and bested her toughest opponent
Angel Atwell in the highly contested Women’s
class.
