Strang Claims Holeshot Award
Medford, OR (May, 11) - MotorcycleUSA.com pays out another $250 Holeshot Award - this time to Suzuki XC1 rider, Josh Strang. The 2010 GNCC points leader was back in the hunt for a top finish this weekend at the MotorcycleUSA.com Yadkin Valley Stomp GNCC. Grabbing his second holeshot of the year gave Strang the early lead, but the quick-draw artist clipped a tree and went down allowing Round 5 winner, Charlie Mullins, and company to move past. Strang was able to remount and finish inside the top-10 while Mullins collected his second GNCC win of the season.
"My Rockstar Makita Suzuki was running great, getting me a strong start and the MotorcycleUSA holeshot" said Strang. "But I would really like to get the win."
