WPSA: West thrills and Jones dominates in AMSOIL ATV Championship

7-23-2006

by Flagworld


Snocross phenom Jesse West and QuadMX young gun Jeremiah Jones took very different routes to win their respective Pro Class races during Saturday's AMSOIL ATV Championship, Round 7 of the WPSA PowerSports ATV Championship Tour, at Wild Cat Creek MX.

West (No. 888 Oil Boyz, Stud Boy/Arctic Cat) drove through the field to win the QuadTerrain Challenge Pro Stock race, while Jones (No. 2 Team Suzuki, Yoshimura/Suzuki) dominated the SuperQuad Pro 450 race from start to finish. The events will be telecast on ESPN2 on Saturday, Aug. 5, at noon EDT.

West, a regular in the ATV Tour's sister series, the PowerSports Snowmobile Championship Tour, took advantage on lap three when William Yokley (No. 23 Suzuki), who dominated the early stages of the six-lap event, buried his quad in the rock crawl on the tough QuadTerrain course. West held the lead until the finish, beating teammate Daryl Rath (No. 67 Rath Racing, Maxxis, Douglas Wheels/Arctic Cat). Josh Frederick (No. 199 Can-Am) was third in his PowerSports ATV Tour debut.

West, who is racing out of Arctic Cat's new factory-supported transporter, was pleased to net his first win in just his third ATV Tour start. Clifton Beasley (No. 226 Warnert Racing, Chapman Performance/Can-Am) won the $500 ATVRiders.com Rock'n'Roll Award for leaving the rock crawl first on lap one.

"This is a great win for Arctic Cat," said West. "We really want to make Arctic Cat's support count and I think we did that today. The tortoise really beat the hare in this race. I just stayed steady, and consistency is really what wins these races.
