Brad Riley got a good start and pressured Michael
Coburn for most of the race, but was unable to
make a clean pass. Riley kept right on Coburn’s
grab bar and cruised to a second place finish.
“There was some great racing this season.
Everyone stepped up their game and it made things
pretty interesting,” stated Coburn, who
ended his season in third in Pro-am points.
There were only five points separating Can-Am’s
Chuckie Creech and Brad Riley going into the final
round in the Pro-am class Creech, who was leading
Riley in points, would have to finish in no less
than one position behind Riley in order to hold
on to his second place points position.

#25 Chuckie Creech claimed the final spot
on the Pro-Am Podium, which secured him
the 2nd spot in the Pro-Am points race ahead
of Brad Riley, and while on the Podium,
Creech announced that his wife, Andrea,
was pregnant with a new addition to the
Creech family, so congratulation from ATVriders.com |
Creech charged hard and despite Riley getting
ahead of him, Creech was able to hang on for a
third place finish, which allowed him to hold
on to his second place status in Pro-am points.
“The competition has been tough this season,
but I’ve had a great time racing and I’m
pretty happy with how everything has worked out,”
said Creech.

ustin Hoffman held on for a fourth place finish
in the Pro-am class, which allowed him to edge
out Seph Padon for fifth in the Pro-am points.
Harold Goodman had over a 30 point lead going
into the final round and had secured the Pro-am
championship at the previous round. Given his
situation, Goodman decided to take it easy in
the Pro-am class and cruised to a fifth place
finish. “I wrapped up the championship earlier
so I just decided to take it easy and get in some
seat time. I really liked the track, so it was
just a lot of fun for me,” said Goodman.
