Odessa, NY (5/11/2015) - Dry and dusty conditions for the inaugural Dunlop Tomahawk GNCC didn’t stop N-Fab/AmPro/Maxxis/Lonestar Yamaha’s Walker Fowler from claiming his third overall win in the 2015 season. However, the win did not come without challenge from a number of Fowler’s fellow XC1 competitors.
