JONES, STEWART TOP 6 HOUR
A
field of 94 teams showed
up to contest the John Burr
Cycles 6 Hours of Glen Helen
on March 19, the first round of
the 2017 Endurance Racing
Series. Justin Jones teamed
up with Trevor Stewart to take
on the rough and silty course
aboard a JCR Honda 450, and
the duo dominated the field to
take the overall win.
Jones and Stewart started out
the day with a commanding lead
from the first lap, but it was no
cakewalk to the finish. After build-
ing up a lead of over five minutes,
the team's pit stop put them back
about 10 minutes, leaving them
to play catch up to the Travis
Frohlich squad for the next sev-
eral laps. But Jones and Stewart
were able to hoist themselves
back on top before the finish.
Nick Stover teamed up with
Nick Garvin to take third overall,
though they didn't make it easy
on themselves. They rounded
the first lap at the back of the
field in 71st place, and spent the
race playing catch-up, which
wasn't easy to do in the muddy
trenches and dusty ridges of the
course. But they managed to
make their way up to third overall
behind Frohlich's Thousand
Oaks Powersports' KTM.
The ironman class had quite
a big showing, with over 20
entries in the field. Jarrett Smith
completed the contest at the
head of the class, and an im-
pressive 12th overall.
