Angel Atwell secured the Women's ATV

Yadkinville, NC (9/26/2009)
- FRE/KTM rider Angel Atwell secured
the Women’s ATV Championship at the 11th
round of the GNCC Series while her teammates Adam
McGill and Josh Kirkland had remarkable days as
well, both finishing on the podium.
Atwell only needed a top five finish to secure
the Women’s Championship. Atwell managed
to start inside the top three, quickly moved
into 2nd position and remained there behind
her niece Kristen Atwell throughout the race.
Atwell’s 2nd place finish easily locked
the championship. Atwell was kindly rewarded
with a number one plate as she jumped onto the
podium.
Although it was a great weekend for all KTM
riders, it wasn’t the best weather. It
rained throughout the majority of the day which
made for a cold day and a slick and tricky track.
In the XC-1 Pro class McGill started in 2nd
position behind Bill Ballance. When Ballance
stopped early for goggles, McGill took over
the lead at the end of the first lap followed
by Brandon Sommers and Taylor Kiser. McGill
held the lead for almost one complete lap before
he was passed by Sommers. The top three riders
all took a pit stop at the end of the second
lap. Once the riders returned to the course,
Chris Borich took the lead from Sommers. McGill
stayed close behind the two riders and made
a move of his own on Sommers to take over 2nd
position. Borich and McGill distanced themselves
from the pack on the last lap. McGill pressured
Borich throughout the remainder of the race
through to the checkered flag only finishing
seconds behind Borich.

Also starting in 2nd position was KTM rider
Josh Kirkland in the XC-2 Pro Am class. Kirkland
took over the lead from Parker Jones at the
end of the first lap. While leading, Kirkland
made a small mistake which allowed Jones, Brian
Wolf and Walker Fowler to move past. Kirkland
quickly regained composure and began to close
in on the top three once more. On the middle
of the third lap the three leaders made a mistake
which allowed Kirkland to jump back into the
lead. Kirkland built up an impressive gap over
the rest of the field to take a hard earned
win over Wolf and Jones.
