Jeremiah Jones and William Yokley won two thrilling Pro ATV finals Sunday in the PowerSports Peach State ATV Championship, Round 4 of the WPSA PowerSports ATV Championship Tour. Jones rode from back to front to win the SuperQuad Pro 450 race, while Yokley overcame a tumble to finish first in the Pro Stock QuadTerrain Challenge event.

Jones (No. 2 Team Suzuki, Yoshimura/Suzuki) left the gate fourth, while two-time WPSA winner John Natalie, Jr. (No. 13 Elka, HMF, Swift/Honda) took the lead at the start. After taking the $1,000 Quad Magazine Holeshot Award, Natalie put on a dominating show, moving out to as much as five seconds in the early laps. However, Jones was on the charge, and he took third on lap three, and three laps later, he was second, just behind Natalie. On lap nine, Jones saw his shot, and he passed Natalie for the lead.

But Natalie wasn't finished, and he rebounded, pulling up to Jones' rear nerf bar just as Jones' quad stalled on the outside of a turn. Jones quickly re-fired his machine, and he led the final two laps for the win, the second for Suzuki this weekend. Natalie finished second, marking his fourth consecutive podium. Jones' teammate, Doug Gust, who won yesterday's final on the No. 55 Team Suzuki, Yoshimura/Suzuki, was third, earning him his third podium this season.

"I loved being out there, battling everybody," said Jones. "The Honda guys had something for us all weekend long. Luckily, Mother Nature took care of us with the weather, and that definitely played a factor for us this weekend. WPSA is brand new to the sport and this is very exciting. I hope it keeps growing because I'm really enjoying running over here.
