Harold
Goodman earned the win in the Pro-Am Class
at Round 6 |
The Bumblebee Harold Goodman once again put his
House Racing Honda 450R ATV to the front of the
pack taking the holeshot ahead of Chepkauskas,
Riley, and Kirby Cooke. Goodman was on the gas
hard blasting through the loose dusty corners
which never blue-grooved up as well as in years
past. He fought off a hard charging Riley many
times throughout the last few laps and was able
to come away with another victory on the weekend
netting himself another 1st place finish on the
podium.

Brad
Riley placed second in the Pro-Am Class
on his Honda TRX 450R ATV |
Fireball’s Brad Riley had his best start
of the day in the Pro-Am class with a 3rd place
holeshot behind Chepkauskas. Riley made quick
work of Chepkauskas as he knew he would need a
few laps in order to work on Goodman’s lead.
Riley tried his best, but once again the laps
ticked away quicker than he could make up ground
and he was forced to settle for second place.
An amazing battle was to be seen during the moto
though and both races gave it their all.

Daniel
Chepkauskas earned another podium position
in the Pro-Am Class earning third at Pine
Lake |
Hoosier’s Daniel Chepkauskas was on hot
pursuit of another podium finish for the weekend
in the Pro-Am class as he once again put his head
down and stayed clean to come away with another
3rd place spot on the podium. Chepkauskas came
off the line with a second place out of the holeshot,
which set him up nicely for a good finishing position.
The Honda 450R ATV racer never wavered but only
one position as Riley was able to slip by. He
went on to take a 3rd place finish on the weekend,
adding another solid finish to his resume!

Eric
Jennings placed fourth in the Pro-Am Class
on his Yamaha YFZ 450 ATV |
ESJ Graphic’s own Eric Jennings of the
NEEDT series made an appearance at the race and
took home some earnings for himself as he landed
inside of the top 5! Jennings got a good holeshot
near the front of the pack behind fellow NEEDT
racer Andrew Evanyke. Evanyke got bumped back
as #17 Jordan Rummage was on his way into the
5th position. Rummage went on to hold this position
until the checkered flag flew resulting in one
of his best finishes on the season.
There was also a three wheeler race during the
earlier part of the day on Sunday which featured
the likes of Daryl Rath, Erik Dubb, Fred Morrell,
and Nick Lalanne, all the way from California!
Rath was on a mission in the 3-Wheeler Open class
as he went on to take a win followed by Fred Morrell,
both of TPC Trikes 450R’s. Rath loved the
racing action and couldn’t keep a smile
off his face after he pulled off the track!
The next and final two rounds of the series will
head to Batavia, New York on August 23-25th. A
Pro, Pro-Am, and Pro-Am Unlimited champion will
be determined and crowned as the Pro Extreme Dirt
Track racers lay it all out in a no-holds-barred
dog fight to the finish line at the Batavia Motor
Speed for the season finale! Check right back
here for a full report on the double-head weekend!
