VOL. 54 ISSUE 38 SEPTEMBER 26, 2017 P43 Josh Toth, on the N-Fab/ AmPro Yamaha, was next across the finish line in fourth, but more importantly for him, take the XC2 250 Pro (16-24) class win. After passing Layne Michael on the first lap, it was all Toth, who ended up clinching the 2017 XC2 Pro Championship. Fifth overall went to SRT/ KTM's Steward Baylor who had plenty of breathing room over his brother, Grant (Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KR4/Husqvarna). Bol- linger slipped back to seventh overall, followed by the second XC2-class rider Craig DeLong (Husqvarna), who edged out fel- low XC2 rider, Layne Michael, by a few seconds. Rounding out the top 10 overall was another XC2 rider Michael Witkowski (KTM). For the second race in a row, Thad Duvall did not suit up, as he is still healing up from a wrist injury that he suffered at the ISDE. Duvall is still second in the championship but now trails Kailub Russell by 58 points. Steward Baylor trails Duvall by nine points. N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha's Paul Whibley snagged the $100 Wise- co FMF XC3 125 Pro-Am class holeshot, but Jason Thomas was able to get in the early lead and maintain the front position until the checkered flag flew. Whibley and Coastal Racing/Husqvar- na's Jack Edmondson rounded out the class podium. Thomas clinched the class champion- ship. CN OVERALL 1. Ryan Sipes (Hus) 2. Kailub Russell (KTM) 3.
