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-
