Barry Hawk Jr. returned to his winnings ways at the combined AMA Grand National Cross Country/National Hare Scrambles Series round at Loretta Lynn’s in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, yesterday. The race boiled down to a last lap shootout between Hawk (6) and Mike Lafferty (7), and it was Hawk, on the Am-Pro Yamaha, coming out on top by the narrowest of margin.
Third place went to FMF/Suzuki’s Mike Kiedrowski, while Yamaha’s Jason Raines and Kawasaki Team Green’s Fred Andrews, the defending Hare Scrambles Champion, rounded out the top five overall.
Defending GNCC Champion Rodney Smith did not finish the race after crashing and injuring his leg.
