Washington, GA (3/17/2014) - Aboard his N-Fab AmPro Yamaha YFZ 450R, Walker Fowler took his first XC1 Pro win of the 2014 GNCC off-road racing season in Washington, Ga. on Saturday afternoon, March 15. Together with last weekend’s podium in Florida, the win ties Fowler for the points lead with multi-time champion Chris Borich as the 13-event series gathers speed.Meanwhile in the XC2 Pro Am class, teammate Cole Richardson won for the second weekend in a row after grabbing the holeshot on his YFZ450R. He now commands the points lead in his class, giving Yamaha a fantastic start to the GNCC ATV season.

In contrast to last week’s mud in Florida, course conditions at “The General” event in Georgia were dry. Although rival Adam McGill took the holeshot to begin the afternoon combined XC1 Pro and XC2 Pro Am race, Fowler pounced quickly to take over the lead. Aided by a slow start for perennial rival Borich, the Yamaha rider applied maximum effort throughout the duration of the race, leading every lap. Though it was hardly easy. Fowler was able to gain only a slender 3.7-sec. lead over McGill by the halfway point of the nearly two-hour race, but from there he accelerated ahead, ultimately stretching his lead to well over a minute at the finish.

“It feels good right now, and we’re going to do everything we can to make it exciting for the fans because that’s what keeps us going,” Fowler said. “If I can win some more races I’m going to be really happy.”
