OMA Series Resumes in Arkansas

Mark Kariya | April 11, 2005

Josh McLevy picked up his first-ever and long overdue Pro win at the second round of the Parts Unlimited Off-Road Motorcycle and ATV Nationals in Dacatur, Arkansas, yesterday.

“That’s the first time I’ve ever won anything!” he said.

The Throttlehead.com/Kenda/Moose Kawasaki KX250-mounted rider took the lead just before the halfway point of the two-hour race and went on to win.

KTM-mounted Shane Watts worked his way up from a slow start to finish second, while Suzuki rider Brian Garrahan finished third. Fourth place went to KTM-mounted Nathan Kanney, while fifth went to Yamaha rider Justin Williamson.

Defending champ Jimmy Jarrett suffered mechanical problems after nabbing the holeshot and was unable to finish the race.
