been avoided by Lane and he has taken his riding

the 20 year old, Jarrod McClure, who has really
made his presence known in his sophomore year
in the Pro Class. Entering the 2008 season he
had a lot more confidence in his machine and racing
program, but once he hooked up with professional

he has been on fire. McClure has earned two 5th
place finishes and along with a career first Podium
finish at Yadkinville.
Unfortunately, two rounds with mechanical issues
has set him back to 9th place in points, but
he has been training hard all summer long, which
included racing in the WORCS Series, where he
finished and impression 2nd place on a Suzuki
LT-R450 at
Straddeline ORV Park. McClure is determined
to capitalize on the final rounds of the season
as the track become tighter and more technical.
