One of those racers who is looking to take the top spot on the podium from Fowler is JMR/ATVriders.com’s Jarrod McClure. McClure ran consistent lap times for the entire two-hour race at Big Buck, which proves he has the fitness and drive to take an overall win. The sands of Florida are known to test a rider’s agility and McClure will be looking to capitalize on that this Saturday.

Coastal Racing’s Brycen Neal knows what it’s like to ride under pressure. Neal had a battle on his hands the entire two-hour race between six-time National Champion, Chris Borich, and N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha’s Cole Richardson. Neal had a standout performance at last year’s Wild Boar and will look to fight off the competition and repeat his success. 

Richardson ran in the front of the pack at the previous round, until the last lap. With only few days off to recover and test, Richardson will need to make his adjustments quickly in order to end up on the podium. The two-time XC2 Pro-Am champion is aware of the fast-paced GNCC lifestyle and will be one to keep an eye on at Wild Boar.

Not much talk about CST/Induction Solutions/LSR/HiPer/Spider Graphix’s Adam McGill circulated around the pits, but he still managed to secure a top-five position. McGill is known for his ability to make a comeback, and that may just be his plan heading into Florida.

XC1 Pro rookie, Cody Collier, will be on a mission to get his Pierce Performance-backed machine on the podium. Even though he only has two pro races under his belt, the Ohio native managed to finish in the top-half of riders with eighth and will take that momentum into this weekend.

Saturday’s race schedule is as follows: Youth ATV racing begins at 8 a.m., Single-Seat UTV racing at 9 a.m., followed by 4x4 Pro, amateurs and women at 10 a.m., and the pros and top amateurs race at 1 p.m. Following Saturday’s afternoon race will be the first round of Side-by-Side UTV racing, which takes place at 4:00 p.m.

Adult (12+) gate admission is $20 for the full weekend and $10 for kids (6-11), with kids five and under free. Gate admission includes pro pit access and pro autographs at no additional charge.
