Brock Parker added their names onto the WPSA PowerSports
ATV Championship Tour win list, after dominant runs
in Saturday's PowerSports Peach State ATV Championships.
Round 3 of the Tour was held at Echeconnee Off Road
Park, and was part of a douprofessional. I cannot say
enough about them. ble championship weekend.
Gust (No. 55 Team Suzuki Yoshimura/Suzuki)
won the SuperQuad Pro 450 event, while Parker, running
for the first time in WPSA competition this season
in the No. 493 Can-Am, survived a thrilling Pro Stock
QuadTerrain Challenge final.
Saturday's races will be telecast on ESPN2 on Sunday,
June 17 at 2 p.m. EDT.
Patrick Brown (No. 199 Factory Yamaha, Golden West
Cycles, Ohlins/Yamaha) took the holeshot at the start
of the SuperQuad Pro 450 final, earning the $1,000
Quad Magazine Holeshot award, but the formerly undefeated
John Natalie (No. 13 Elka, HMF, Swift/Honda) was quickly
on his rear nerf bar, taking the lead just before
the finish line. Gust, however, was charging, and
with a quick outside move on lap nine, Gust took the
lead for good. Jeremiah Jones (No. 2 Team Suzuki Yoshimura/Suzuki)
earned his second consecutive second-place finish,
with Natalie third.
"Once I got around Pat Brown, I set my sights
on John Natalie. I inched away at him and it turned
into a victory," said Gust, who led a Suzuki
sweep of the top-two podium spots. "I was studying
Natalie to see what lines were working for him so
I could find a better line. That's the advantage of
being behind someone. When you're in front, you're
afraid to take different lines.
"It feels great to get my first win in WPSA,"
added Gust. "I'm racing against a lot of fast guys;
the best guys in the nation are out here. They're also
younger than me, so it really felt good. WPSA is doing
a great job and I think this is really going to grow.
We're getting ready for Florida."
Parker literally dominated the Pro Stock QuadTerrain
final, taking the lead at the start, earning the $500
ATVriders.com Rock'n'Roll Award for coming out the
rock crawl first, and drove away from the field. Scott

for good when Chris Borich (No. 2 Alba Action/Honda)
collided with a stalled quad near the mud bog. William
Yokley (No. 23 Suzuki) earned his second straight
podium, finishing third.
quot;This is my first time with this circuit, and
I'm really happy with the way it went," said
Parker. "Can-Am is the best team I've worked
with so far. They are really
"The Series is a lot of fun," added Parker.
"We're definitely running the rest of the season."
