#27 Brad Riley held off #25 Chuckie Creech
to secure the 2nd spot with Creech taking
the final spot on the Pro-Am Podium |
Brad Riley charged off the start in the Pro-am Production
class and shadowed Harold Goodman for the entire
race, but was not able to close in enough to make
a move. “Harold was running really good and
I just kind of stayed in second the entire time,”
said Riley, who took second at the checkered flag.
Chuckie Creech was looking strong in the Pro-am
Production class. Creech charged off the start and
was able to hold off Michael Coburn for the final
spot on the Pro-am podium.

Michael Coburn was doing well in the Pro-am class,
but ran into some issues and was only able to finish
in fourth. “We aren’t really sure what
the problem was, but the quad kept cutting out on
the top end and I wasn’t able to go as fast
as I would have liked,” said Coburn.
