Josh Frederick (2) sails his ITP Holeshot GNCC-equipped, Epic Racing YFZ450 on the way to the round one win.

ITP HOLESHOT GNCC RIDERS SWEEP WORCS #1

Epic Racing teammates Josh Frederick and Jeremy Schell captured the first two positions at round one of the 2007 World Off-Road Championship Series, held late January at Speed World MX Park in Phoenix, Arizona. Rounding out the podium was defending WORCS champion Doug Eichner, riding once again for Duncan Racing.

All three riders were using ITP Holeshot GNCC tires, clearly the best choice for a long race on a challenging course.

Your WORCS Round 1 Pro ATV podium, left to right: Doug Eichner (third place), Josh Frederick (winner), Jeremy Schell (second place).

Frederick, last year's Pro ATV runner-up in WORCS competition, brought his Yamaha YFZ450 past the checkers in a total elapsed time of 1:36:32. Yamaha YFZ450-mounted Schell, a three-time ITP/Yamaha QuadCross Series champion, finished his nine laps 24 seconds behind Frederick, with the Honda TRX450 of Eichner right on his rear bumper.

This was the first of ten events on the 2007 WORCS schedule, with races taking place in California, Arizona, Idaho, Washington and Utah, concluding in November. ITP will be providing trackside support at every event, so if you need assistance, tires or advice, you can count on us!

Defending WORCS champion Doug Eichner (2) goes big on his way to third overall.	Jeremy Schell's Holeshot GNCC tires look remarkably fresh after more than an hour and a half of thrashing in the Arizona desert.
