Yokley Racing Summary

The GNCC annual two month summer break is over and everyone was ready to get back to racing. Jarrod McClure has been riding and training regularly with his Pennsylvania neighbor, Chris Borich, so he was ready to go! The historic Unadilla has been the home to Pro Motocross events for more than forty years, and the racers are able race on the famed Professional and Amateur motocross courses as well as eight miles of adjoining woods sections. The conditions were almost perfect.

McClure got a great start and headed into the woods in third position. Brian Wolf, Adam McGill and McClure got a small gap on the field for the first three laps. They started getting into lappers by the end of lap 2, so that slowed them down and allowed Chris Borich and Walker Fowler to catch up. For the next several laps, the top six riders were bunched up.

It finally came down to the last two laps of the seven lap race. It was Borich, Fowler and McClure trading positions. Borich pulled off the win, with Fowler and McClure close behind. This was McClure’s best finish, and first podium of the 2012 GNCC season. He is in sixth position in the GNCC season points standings. Congratulations to Chris Borich for wrapping up his fourth GNCC Pro ATV Championship!

The next GNCC event is on October 6 at the Power Line Park facility in St. Clairsville, Ohio. We will see you there!
