AmPro Yamaha's Walker Fowler started at the
back-of-the-pack, but he managed to quickly
move his way into the top five. By Lap 2, Fowler
had caught up to Yoho and Waynesburg Yamaha/GT
Thunder's Jeff Pickens and the three went back
and forth until Fowler was able to break free.
That is until JB Offroad/Can-Am's Jarrod McClure,
who was also playing catch up through the pack,
reached Fowler and applied the pressure for
fourth.
Fowler bested McClure in the battle for fourth,
allowing Fowler to maintain second place in
the overall point standings. McClure's fifth
place finish puts him tied for seventh place
with Pickens - who claimed tenth overall for
the day.
Still recovering from a pre-season spleen injury,
Yoho was able to hold on for sixth place, just
ahead of rookie Braden Henthorn who came in
seventh. DeRisi Racing's Eric Hoyland secured
eighth, while HMF/GBC/Yamaha's Johnny Gallagher
took home ninth.
Defending XC2 Pro Am champion Pat McGuire was
finally able to secure his first win of the
season, moving into second place overall in
the class. XC2 rookie Landon Wolfe grabbed the
$100 All Balls Racing Holeshot Award but it
didn't take long for McGuire to make his way
into the lead and from there, he never looked
back.

Indiana's Fred Marley latched onto McGuire
on the opening lap and maintained a second place
ride throughout the two-hour race. Chad Jones
spent a majority of the race in pursuit of Marley
but it wasn't enough to make a pass on his fellow
Indiana racer.
Current Pro Am points leader Brycen Neal had
some issues off the start but eventually made
his way into podium contention by the second-to-last-lap.
Neal's intense riding caused his rear wheel
to break apart but that didn't stop the persistent
rookie from securing the final XC2 podium position.
Pennsylvania's Jay Shadron secured his first
win of the season in the College A (16-21) division,
also finishing as the top amateur rider of the
afternoon. Shadron currently holds second place
in the overall standings, with Marshal Goings
in first.
The 2013 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country
Series continues April 13 and 14 with the VP
Racing Fuels Big Buck GNCC in Union, South Carolina.
