Walker Fowler - Yamaha YFZ450X ATV
Yamaha's #7 Walker Fowler continues to dominate the XC2 Pro-Am Class with his 8th straight Win of the season
In the Pro-am Class, Yamaha/Ballance Racing’s Walker Fowler continued to dominate his class, taking the Pro-am win, his eighth straight win of the season and finishing in the sixth place overall. Fowler came off the start in the top ten and began picking off the competition immediately, taking the lead shortly before the end of the first lap. Fowler had a good lead, but in the third lap, Fowler ran into a bit of bad luck.

“I hit a stump and went flying off my quad. I really have to give a big thanks to Jeff Pickens, He stopped and helped me to get my quad up the hill after that. If it weren’t for him I would probably still be sitting out there,” said Fowler, who was still leading despite his ordeal. Fowler held his lead all the way to the checkered flag, continuing his winning streak and extending his points lead. “I have to thank all of my sponsors, Yamaha, Balance Racing, Moto-Xperts, Maxxis and everyone else for all of their support and helping this be such a successful season for me so far. I’m going to take a little time off over the break, but I plan to come back and keep winning,” said Fowler.

Eric Hoyland, who was leading going into the first lap, fell to second once Fowler made the pass, but held his position, taking second in his class, while Michael Lancaster put in a solid performance to round out the top three in the Pro-am class.
