Crawfordsville, IN (11/1/2015)
- For the second year in a row the XC1 Pro ATV National
Championship has been decided at the final round
of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series
(GNCC), presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship.
Saturday’s AMSOIL Ironman GNCC was a winner-take-all
affair in the XC1 class, and Walker Fowler was able
to seal the deal with a fourth place finish to secure
the championship, and Jarrod McClure claimed his
second win of the year.

As the green flag dropped for the highly anticipated
finale, CST / PirateMX.com / LSR / DeRisi / Tireblocks
/ Spider Graphix backed Adam McGill wasted no
time in making his way t o the front and claiming
the $250 AMSOIL Holeshot Award. And despite a
bad jump off the start, N-Fab/ AmPro Yamaha /
Maxxis / Lonestar’s Walker Fowler quickly made
his way up near McGill as they dropped into the
woods. However, when they made their way through
scoring for the first lap Fowler had dropped back
to twelfth, while McGill was just inside the top
five.

Fowler was able to quickly pick up the pace after
having a small bobble on the first lap, and rode
aggressive making his way to fifth by the second
lap, and ultimately crossing the finish line in
fourth. His respective finish not only made it
his eleventh top five finish, but also gave him
enough points to close the deal on the championship.

“By losing the championship last year I learned
a lot,” said Fowler. “I had to pick up the pieces
and reset. I cannot think my family enough, they
are really the most important thing in helping
me get up here. It is an honor to be the champion
of this series. This is surreal.”

JMR/ATVRiders.com’s Jarrod McClure commanded
the lead for a majority of the two-hour race,
but started to feel pressure from McGill on the
third lap. Unfortunately, McGill would suffer
a mechanical issue taking him out of the running
for the overall win and championship and opening
up the door for McClure to ride his own race and
take home his second overall win of the season.
