WPSA: West thrills and Jones dominates in AMSOIL ATV Championship

"I've been looking for a summertime outlet; Snocross is really my career," added West. "Then this opportunity came up and I just love it."

Rath held his lead in the Riders' Championship, and now holds an eight-point lead ahead of Yokley.

While West fought hard for his victory, Jones made it look easy. After taking the lead on the first lap, Jones was literally in his own class, leading all 12 laps of the final. Teammate Doug Gust (No. 55 Team Suzuki, Yoshimura/Suzuki) finished second. Points leader Dustin Wimmer (No. 191 East Coast ATV, Axis, Sparks, Maxxis/Honda) rode from eighth at the start to finish third, marking his third consecutive and fourth overall podium this season.

Jones remains virtually perfect in ATV Tour competition after grabbing his sixth-straight podium and third overall win in six starts. Josh Creamer (No. 270 K & K ATV, Robbs Racing Engines, Ohlins Suspension/Honda) won the Quad Magazine Holeshot Award, worth $1,000.

"This is great to finish here with my teammate," said Jones. "Team Suzuki, Yoshimura has been strong all weekend. I picked what I thought was a bad line at the start, but it worked out on the first lap.

"Points are important right now, so I was pretty bummed out after finishing seventh in one of my qualifying heats," added Jones. "This win makes me feel much better."

Wimmer's grasp on the points lead narrowed to just four points with three races left this season.
