2017 Season Recap:

The North Carolina native captured 6 podiums out of 9 races and was able to capture second place overall, despite suffering unexpected mechanical issue at round 6 n Arlington, which forced McElrath to pull off the track only to return to a last-place finish. McElrath still pulled off a second place overall just one point ahead of third.
