Bishop Comes Out
Smelling Like A Rose
By: Jeffrey Ketchum
Chase Bishop returned to the
Mid South Cross Country Series at “The Hanganator at Rose Hill” and
put in a dominating performance to take round 2 of the 2011- 2012
season. Darin Downs led the Pro class off the line putting his
Yamaha out front. After entering the woods, the Pro class found
themselves confused due to trail markings, but came out with
Pro-Action KTM’s Dustin Gibson leading, with Yamaha mounted Chase
Bishop right on his rear tire. After Gibson fell back to mechanical
problems, it was the Obermeyer Yamaha/Off-Camber Racing/WMR backed
Bishop leading with defending Mid-South Champion Shane Obanion in
second. Obanion made the pass for the lead as Bishop was pitting at
the halfway point, but could not stay out front after crashing on a
hill. Bishop found his way back into the lead but not before having
contact with Obanion who had crashed in the trail. With the lead
back, Bishop put the hammer down and held off the charging Mid-South
Motoplex/Gill Roofing backed Obanion to take the win. The final spot
on the podium went to Damon Prince who made a last lap pass on
Brandon Ferguson who held onto fourth, followed by Dillon Phelps in
fifth.
