Fowler found himself in a favorable position
once the XC1 Pro class saw the green flag wave.
His Yamaha machine rocketed off the start where
he grabbed the $250 Wiseco XC1 Pro Holeshot Award
and the early lead. "The holeshot just makes
my whole day easier. It's nice to get out in the
woods and ride my own race and try not to make
any mistakes," said Fowler.

Two-time
GNCC Champion, Walker Fowler, grabbed
the Pro ATV Holeshot & held the lead
from start to finish for his 2nd straight
win
|
N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha's Cole Richardson and six-time
GNCC champion Chris Borich followed in tow at
the completion of the first lap. It wouldn't be
until the midway point of the race when the action
would begin to really heat up. Borich's clutch
would eventually begin to give him trouble, where
he had to make some adjustments during a pit stop.

Cole Richardson was
running in the top three early on in the
race
|
Richardson's wrist would end up causing too much
pain to continue, which resulted in making the
tough decision to end his race early. With Richardson's
absence, it was a three-way battle between CST/Induction
Solutions/LSR/HiPer/Spider Graphix's Adam McGill,
Coastal Racing's Brycen Neal and JMR/ATVriders.com-backed
Jared McClure.
