Coolbeth wins to clinch third AMA Grand National title
By Beartooth Host @ 12:18 PM :: 403 Views :: Harley-Davidson Press Releases
|
|
Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle factory rider Kenny Coolbeth clinched his third consecutive AMA Grand National Twins championship with a win on the half-mile track at Monticello Raceway. Coolbeth passed Moroney's Harley-Davidson/Screamin' Eagle rider Bryan Smith on lap 17 of the 25-lap main and led by 2.054-seconds at the finish line to win his sixth race of the season. Because his closest rival for the series title, Latus Harley-Davidson/Screamin’ Eagle rider Joe Kopp, failed to qualify for the main, Coolbeth’s win gives him an insurmountable points lead with two races left on the schedule.
