WPSA: Jones and Yokley win Jack Link's Feed Your Wild Side ATV championship

7-9-2006

by Flagworld


Jeremiah Jones and William Yokley widened their win streaks in the WPSA PowerSports ATV Championship Tour Saturday, winning the Jack Link's Feed Your Wild Side ATV Championship at South Fork Dirt Riders. Both Jones (No. 2 Team Suzuki, Yoshimura, Fly/Suzuki) and Yokely (No. 23 Monster Energy Drink/Suzuki) won their second consecutive races here in Round 5 of the 2006 title chase.

Jones won the SuperQuad Pro 450 event in dominant fashion, passing $1,000 Quad Magazine Holeshot Award winner Dustin Wimmer (No. 191 East Coast ATV, Axis, Sparks, Maxxis/Honda) on lap three and cruising to the finish. Jones netted his fifth consecutive podium with the victory. Wimmer held on for second. With his third-place finish, Doug Gust (No. 55 Team Suzuki, Yoshimura/Suzuki) took the points lead from the injured John Natalie, Jr. (No. 13 Elka, HMF, Swift/Honda). Natalie suffered a severe thumb injury in competition several weeks ago, and was sidelined this weekend.

"We're just trying to put forth a top-flight effort, get good starts and try to keep my bike up front," said Jones, who missed Round 1 in Kentucky due to an injury suffered during qualifying. "I didn't really have much hope after missing the entire first race, but it looks good now. I just need to keep winning my heats and getting on the podium in the finals. The track is really fast. It's a lot like a TT flat track. It really takes a toll on you, physically, because the pace is so fast. But any time you win a race, it feels good."

Yokley won a wild QuadTerrain Challenge Pro Stock event using a conservative strategy. Yokley, who started sixth, quietly picked his way through the field. After taking third on lap four, Yokley picked his spot and took the lead on lap five from the $500 ATVRiders.com Rock'n'Roll Award winner Michael Swift (No. 217 Maxxis, Rox/Can-Am). The victory gave Yokley his fourth-straight podium. Scott Kilby (No. 227 Maxxis, OMF/Can-Am) was second. Jim Stack, debuting a new Kawasaki machine under his No. 881 plate number, finished third.
