Doug Gust and Brock Parker added their names onto the WPSA PowerSports ATV Championship Tour win list, after dominant runs in Saturday's PowerSports Peach State ATV Championships. Round 3 of the Tour was held at Echeconnee Off Road Park, and was part of a double championship weekend.

Gust (No. 55 Team Suzuki Yoshimura/Suzuki) won the SuperQuad Pro 450 event, while Parker, running for the first time in WPSA competition this season in the No. 493 Can-Am, survived a thrilling Pro Stock QuadTerrain Challenge final.

Saturday's races will be telecast on ESPN2 on Sunday, June 17 at 2 p.m. EDT.

Patrick Brown (No. 199 Factory Yamaha, Golden West Cycles, Ohlins/Yamaha) took the holeshot at the start of the SuperQuad Pro 450 final, earning the $1,000 Quad Magazine Holeshot award, but the formerly undefeated John Natalie (No. 13 Elka, HMF, Swift/Honda) was quickly on his rear nerf bar, taking the lead just before the finish line. Gust, however, was charging, and with a quick outside move on lap nine, Gust took the lead for good. Jeremiah Jones (No. 2 Team Suzuki Yoshimura/Suzuki) earned his second consecutive second-place finish, with Natalie third.

"Once I got around Pat Brown, I set my sights on John Natalie. I inched away at him and it turned into a victory," said Gust, who led a Suzuki sweep of the top-two podium spots. "I was studying Natalie to see what lines were working for him so I could find a better line. That's the advantage of being behind someone. When you're in front, you're afraid to take different lines.
