Thursday Afternoon Racing

Today got started off with the Mid-Size Stock Novice Division 1’s first moto. Jumping out to an early lead was Taylor Monroe followed by Tanner Lovgren and Austin Bergeron. Bergeron moved into second, looking to pass Monroe until he stalled his bike. Lovgren moved back into second only to fall under heavy pressure from Christopher Bernabe and Derek Rogers. Monroe would go onto win the moto with Bernabe and Rogers in tow. Lovegren would finish 4^th respectably.

Second moto of the day was Division 2 of the Mid-Size Stock Novice class. Pulling the holeshot and leading wire to wire was the 911 Suzuki of Cody Young from Hemet, California. Behind him was some close racing. The 88 Honda of Jake Lyon held 2^nd place for most of the race until with a couple of laps left to go, Joseph Pena of Phoenix, Arizona on the number 39 Kawasaki moved in and took second. Pena would finish 2^nd with Lyon at a close 3^rd.

The Mid-size Stock Pro/Expert class would be the next moto. Adam Gulley would pull the holeshot followed by Landon Powell and Buddi Bruner. Bruner was challenging Powell until Powell made a mistake that would end up costing him a DNF, allowing Bruner to move into 2^nd and Derek Anderson into 3^rd. The leaders would stay this way all the way to the end.

Next up were the mid size stock intermediate divisions. In Division 1, Nick Paluzzi pulled the early lead and never looked back, finishing the moto well ahead of 2^nd and 3^rd place finish rides of Spencer Kauffman and Dillion Huddleston who both had to move there way thru the pack to get there. Division 2 was a bit of the same. Jason Anderson would pull a big holeshot over the rest of the field. Eli Tomac with a 5^th place start had to move his way up to 2^nd but by then, Anderson was all ready gone. Finishing 3^rd was Travis Bell on the 29 Honda.

85cc stock thru 11 was next. The moto win went to Mark Worth of Queen Creek, AZ. Ryan Surratt and Tristan Miller gad a good little battle throughout the moto but Surratt was able to hold off the charging Miller for 2^nd with Miller finishing 3^rd.
