The Moose Racing Wild Boar
GNCC kicked off with N-Fab
AmPro Yamaha's Jordan Ash-
burn grabbing the $250 All Balls
Racing Holeshot, but it didn't
take long for Kailub Russell to
make his way to the front.
The major battles took
place just behind the leader as
Strang, on the Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna, went back-and-forth
with fellow Husqvarna-mounted
riders Ryan Sipes and Thad Du-
Vall early on. As the trio charged
toward the front, JCR Honda's
Chris Bach slowly inched his
way into the battle. By the half-
way point, Bach had made his
way into a podium position, while
Rocky Mountain ATV/MC KR4/
FAR's DuVall charged close
behind.
Sipes, on AirGroup/Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna, unfortu-
nately, experienced a big crash
just after the halfway mark that
ultimately hindered his chances
at an overall podium finish.
Strang capitalized on that, creat-
ing a gap between himself and
the third-place finisher; however,
Russell continued to put time on
the 2010 GNCC National Cham-
pion. Meanwhile, DuVall caught
up to Bach on the final lap as the
duo finalized their charge toward
a podium finish.
But no one was going to catch
Russell on this day. It was his
first win at the Palatka venue.
Strang secured second
overall, while Bach put his JCR
Honda atop the third and final
