Wadesboro, NC (6/15/2016)
- The Noel Property Maintenance
/ Schaeffer Excavating New East Extreme Dirt track
series headed back down South for the Element44
/ Extreme Promotions round three, which was held
in Wadesboro, North Carolina. The red-clay track
at Wadesboro Motorsports Park provided the racers
with a flat, fast, and sweeping track with no jumps.
Lap times were in the 29 second range and Brad Riley
was able to take advantage of a great start to take
the Pro win followed by Chuckie Creech and Michael
Houghton. In the Pro-Am class, Creech was able to
turn it around and take the win followed by Kris
Bures in and Aaron Medlin.

MAXXIS / DASA / PEP's Brad Riley was on a mission
during the Pro main event as he launched off the
line and took the B&B Racing Engines Pro class
holeshot award presented by Element44. Once out
front, Riley had his sights set on the top of
the podium and remained in the number one position
for the entire twenty-lap main event. Riley was
also suffering from a recent surgical procedure
to repair his right ankle and was racing in a
medical boot which was fully "modified"
with O'neal stickers. The moon boot didn't seem
to slow Riley down at all as he crossed the finish
line with a sizable gap over the rest of the field.

#27 Brad
Riley grabbed the NE-EDT Pro ATV Holeshot
|
"I've had an extremely rough past couple
of weeks and had surgery about two weeks ago to
repair my Achilles' tendon. I took a hard hit
at the Ironman MX race and snapped it in half
and they've got me in this boot now which immobilizes
my entire ankle. I knew a win was possible and
I knew it would require a holeshot and that's
what happened fortunately. I got off to a big
lead early and then kind of backed off a bit and
made sure I didn't make any mistakes. I'm happy
to take the win and be sitting in first place
in Pro points as well," said Riley after
the race.

Father, Pnut, who passed away this past
week

CCR Racing / MAXXIS / Houser Racing's Chuckie
Creech got off to rough start but battled his
way past a few racers to get up into second place
about a third of the way through the race. Creech
was able to maintain this position for the rest
of the race and was improving on his position
against Riley by slicing away at the gap between
them. Unfortunately for Creech, he had ran out
of laps before he could make a real run against
Riley. Creech now sits in second place in the
overall Pro points championship race after round
three.

Earnhardt Racing / Hoosier Tire / The Program's
Michael Houghton had a fight on his hands in the
Pro main as well coming out of the gate with an
upper to midpack start. Houghton fought hard and
battled with the one-lined race track to try to
better his position and found some luck as he
was able to slide into third place before the
end of the race. Houghton has been consistent
so far this season and is in third place overall
in the points chase as well.

Kris “Tiffer” Bures had a battle during the Pro
main with fellow Tru-Way Racing’s Brian Ace. Vechery
Racing / MAXXIS / Street Militia’s Brian Ace gave
it all he had on the tight track and trailed Bures
for the remaining laps of the main event and was
never able to get past him and had to settle for
fifth place with Bures taking home a fourth place
ride
