Justin Noss claims his 1st Pro ATV Production
Overall Win at Racetown 395 |
Adelanto, CA - Yamaha’s Justin
Noss claimed his first ever overall Pro Production
win at round number five of the Yamaha ITP Quadcross
series, while Golden West Cycles’ Jason Dunkleberger
came back from injury to take the Open Pro win.
The hot dry weather, with temp approaching the
century mark, took its toll on some racers allowing
fatigue to set in but southern California native,
Justin Noss was used to the heat and didn’t
let that stop him from taking the overall Pro
Production win at his hometown track, Racetown
395.
Yamaha’s Noss did not grab the moto one
holeshot, but he worked up several places into
the number two position behind Can-Am Motowork’s
Jeremie Warnia. Noss would hold his ground even
as Jason Dunkleberger was pressuring him for the
pass and cross the finish line in the number two
spot.

#97 Justin Noss celebrates as he takes the
checkered for the overall win |
In the second moto, Noss came off the line in
fourth behind Dunkleberger. Noss and Dunk would
battle for a few laps before Noss was able to
get past the number 19 Yamaha and begin to chase
down Can-Am Epic’s Sage Baker. “I
caught up to Sage, but the track was dry and dusty
and I was really eating a lot of roost,”
said Noss, who knew he only needed to finish in
third to claim the overall and played it smart
to take his first ever Pro Production win. “I
really have to thank Chris Riley, Allen Knowles,
CT Racing, Clark Jones at NoleenJ6, Yamaha, and
of course my dad, John Noss. They have all stood
behind me and given me great support this year.
I couldn’t have done it without them,”
said Noss who added that this win has given him
a boost of confidence going into round six in
a couple of weeks.

#19 Jason Dunkelberger claims his 1st Podium
finish of the season with a 2nd Place in
the ATV Pro Production |
Jason Dunkleberger, who missed round four due
to a broken bone in his elbow, was back in action
and looking faster than ever. In moto one, Dunk
was in the top five off the line and was able
to make his way into the number three spot before
crossing the finish line.
In moto two, Dunk would battle with Justin Noss
for several laps before falling back to the number
four position. Although he did not take a moto
win, Dunk’s 3-4 finishes were enough to
earn him the number two spot on the podium.

Motowork's Jeremie Warnia claimed the Moto
One Win, but a wreck in Moto 2, would send
Warnia back to a 3rd overall to claim the
final spot on the Podium |
Can-Am Motoworks’ Jeremie Warnia took the
holeshot in the first Pro Production moto, but
after a brief battle with Yamaha’s Dustin
Nelson, would fall back to second. As luck would
have it, Nelson came up short on a jump, breaking
his sub frame, which allowed Warnia to take over
the lead and check out on the rest of the pack
and take the moto one win.
Unfortunately, Lady Luck was not with Warnia
in the second moto. Warnia would crash hard in
moto two, only allowing him to finish sixth in
that moto. Warnia was fortunate enough, however,
to take the final spot on the podium in the Pro
Production class, but now also has him tied for
the points lead with Dustin Nelson at 112 points.

#3 Beau Baron earns a sesaon best 4th overall
& moves into the Pro Production Top
10 |
Team MCR’s Beau Baron put in two solid motos,
taking a 4-5 finish, which put him in fourth place
overall. Dustin Nelson had a tough time of things
in the first moto when he cased a jump hard and
broke his sub frame. Nelson still cruised around
the track to salvage points, which put him in 11th
place in moto one. Moto two was a different story
for Nelson as he made quick work of Dunk and Sage
Baker to take over the lead and check out. Nelson’s
efforts allowed him to round out the top five for
the day.
