David Crane was able to pass #784 Brandon Sommers
for the ealry lead and claim the ATVriders.com
Holeshot Award |
The XC2 Pro Am class presented a big battle of its own,
and GT Thunder Yamaha's Brandon Sommers came from behind
to notch his seventh win in eight races this year, as
well as ninth overall. "I don't think I dropped
any further back than about third or fourth all day,"
said Sommers. "I just had to keep pushing, you'd
lose a lot of time when you'd get hung up and just run
hard and usually make more mistakes when you're running
hard, but it all worked out in the end."

David Crane took the ATVRiders.com Holeshot award
for leading the first lap in XC2, and he followed
Sommers through the pack after getting stuck on his
own. "I really thought somebody was in front
of us," said Crane. "Brandon's so fast,
he caught me and I thought, well, maybe he'd pull
me past whoever was in front of us, so I tried to
follow him but he's just too crazy. I'm very happy
to be up here."
