with flying colors ultimately winning his class.

just tops it off,” said Wolfe. “I can’t think
my family enough for helping me make to the move

There was a large showing for the season finale
in all the class divisions, but especially the
XC2 Pro Am class. When the green flag waved it
was Indiana's Jake Stonebraker who claimed the
$100 XC2 Holeshot award, but had a get off right
after the first turn. After recovering, he would
later run into issues with lapped riders and then
a mechanical issue, ultimately putting him out
of the race.
