Jarrett Pulls Off Moose Run Win

| June 6, 2005

Dubbed America’s toughest off-road race, the 11th running of the Moose Run in Morrison, Illinois, was held yesterday, and the three-hour race, round four of the Parts Unlimited Off-Road Motorcycle and ATV Series, came down to an exciting finish, involving three riders. But it was just one rider, Suzuki-mounted Jimmy Jarrett, who stood on the top step of the podium when all was said and done.

Jarrett, KTM’s Shane Watts and Suzuki rider Brian Garrahan battled back and forth the last few miles, and it was in the final corner that Jarrett made his move for the lead, once and for all. Watts ended up finishing second, while Garrahan finished third. The three riders finished well ahead of the unofficial fourth-place finisher Justin Williamson.
