Batavia, NY (9/1/2013) - The 8th and final round of the 2013 Extreme Dirt Track ATV racing series, a double header, was underway once again at the Batavia Motor Speedway in Batavia, NY. This round was the deciding factor for many racers and how they placed in the country’s fastest ATV racing series. Whether that they walked away with a national championship or were sent back to the drawing board was a chance that all the racers walked and you can be assured each one of them put their skills to the test on the dry, dusty, and aggressive track!

Two Se7en Motorsports / PEP / DASA’s Brad Riley came into the Pro class for round 8 knowing full well that he had to take the top spot on the podium to have the best chance at scoring enough points to dethrone Goodman from the top spot. Riley was able to slide his way up to the front of the pack and take over the first place spot in the 20-lap Pro main event but ended up just two points shy of beating Goodman for the Pro national championship. Nevertheless, Riley came off the line with a good position out of the holeshot riding in second place with only Goodman in front of him. The pair set the fast pace out front and pulled away from the rest of the pack and around the midway point of the race, Riley was able to edge by Goodman to take over the lead. From here, Riley put his head down and kept a fast and steady pace up to hold off Good who was lurking at every corner waiting for a mistake.

“This was a pretty tough race for me knowing Harold and I were so close in points heading into it. I rode my best race and did the best I could, and came out on top for the main event. It’s not really where I wanted to end the year on in the overall points chase but it was a solid win for me and the race was awesome how it unfolded with a lot of action and battling!”, said Riley.
