Graphics' Greg Covert recently made the switch
to XC2 Pro-Am where he quickly adjusted to the
ultracompetitive class. The New York native had
to work quickly to pass Ye Olde Cycle Barn/Walsh/Hetrick
Racing's Westley Wolfe who led the first lap.
As the race wore on the track became rough and
rutted, Wolfe slipped back to second but was able
to hold on to second as he crossed the finish
line. Independent Cycles/Shockworx Motorsports/Variom's
Matthew Lindle finished the race in third.
