NE EDT Racing - Round 3 Wadesboro Motorsports Wadesboro, North Carolina June 11, 2016

The Pro-Am class was a battle to watch as well as WISECO / MAXXIS / Close Encounter Whitetail / RAGE ATV’s Chuckie Creech ripped a big holeshot to earn the Element44 holeshot award just ahead of Tiffer Bures. Creech quickly got around the track for the first lap and settled into a pace which he was comfortable with and began hitting his marks around the course. Creech fended off early charges from Bures but was able to get out to a lead and hold down first place for the entire fifteen-lap race to bring home a nice win for himself.

“I got out of the hole really well and snagged the holeshot, which was awesome! Once I got into a groove, I just raced my own race and put some consistent laps down and kept going until the end of the race. I’m happy with the finish, and I wanted to push myself and the machine to the limits to test our setup for the Pro main,” said Creech.

RATH Racing / Fischer Racing / Baldwin Motorsport’s Kris Bures got off to a great start for himself and also finished in one of the best showings he has had in recent history with a second place finish in the Pro-Am class. Bures was able to not only maintain the position but also defended it from Aaron Medlin who was advancing behind him. Bures finished solidly in second place and now has a foothold in the Pro-Am points chase.

B&B Racing Engines / Big Dawg Racing / 75Designs’ Aaron Medlin also got off to a good start and slid into third place early in the race behind Bures. Medlin also had pressure from behind as Brian Ace and Brad Riley were battling for position and gaining ground on the front of the pack. Fortunately for Medlin he stayed on the gas and crossed the finish line ahead of the pair and finished in third place, his best finish of the season thus far.

DASA / MAXXIS / PEP’s Brad Riley was on a mission in the Pro-Am main and was forced to start from a large deficit off from the start. He tried multiple different lines and attempted to run in a new groove for himself but to no avail he had to go back to the main racing line and try to find another way around the track. He eventually got up into the top five and then into fourth place before the end of the race. Vechery Racing / Elka Suspension / MAXXIS’s Brian Ace was also in the thick of the battle zone and came a long way during the race to bring home a top five position right behind Riley.
