closest competition in the class. Josh darted out

Logan's Run for the Red Bud Win
BY BART NEWMAN
BUCHANAN, MI, MAY 1S
on Logan made the trip up from Ocala, Florida. a good one by winning the 250cc A ove rall
at Red Bud MX despite some furious competition from a very fast John Grewe.
When the gate dropped for the first 250cc A
mota, wily veteran Grewe wh ipped up on the
kids as the pack blasted through tum one , with
Mitch Dervin, Ryan St alb e rge r and Ja me s
Thompson in tow. Grewe was pushing hard to
put some time on the pack, but De rvin and
Stalberger weren't having any pa rt of it and
were la tch e d on to Gr e w e ' s rear fender
throughout the first two laps . O n lap three,
Stalberger made his move on De rvin in the new
sandy whoop section , which track builder Tim
Ritchie installed for the upcom ing Fourth of July
National Cham pions hip event. Grewe was
flying out front and looked faster with each and
every lap, putting some t ime o n Dervin and
Stalberger, who were now being ho unded by
Logan, w ho had gotten a less-than-desirable
start. Logan zapped bot h Dervin and Stalbe rger
on the back section of the trac k, but by that
time Grewe had enough of a cushion that he
could c ru ise home fo r t he w in. Logan was
second, w ith Dervin third. Scott Jendro used a
last -lap c harge th rough t he w hoops to steal
fourth from Stalberger, who was the last rider
in the top fi e .
v
In moto tw o, Grewe once again timed the
st a rt e r' s drop perfectl y and put his Village
Motorsports/Scott/O xtar bootsNemar/Ogiobacke d CR F45 0 R out in front as t he pac k
rounded turn o ne . Devin, Logan, Sta lberger
and John Kidd gave chase . Logan found a way
past Grewe o n lap tw o , as the two ri ders
crested laRocco 's Leap. Once out front, Logan
opened up a five -seco nd lead on Grewe.
De rvin ra n into trou b le o n la p two and
dropped out of the top five , mak ing th e
runn ing order o n lap three Loga n. Grewe,
5talberger, Je ndro and Kidd . When the whi te
J
nag came o ut, Grewe was loo king to make a
move , as he was now on Logan's rear fender
wit h less than a lap to go. Meanw hile, Jendro
made a great pass on Sta lberger to claim third .
Logan held a slight edge on Grewe as the pair
whipped off the configured downhill ta bleto p
t hat led into the new ly added sand whoops.
Logan held the advantage, but Grewe we nt for
broke, blitzing the whoops, only to come up
fo ur bikele ngt hs sho rt at t he checkered flag.
Logan's (2-1) better second-mota finish gave
him the win , d isplacing Grewe ( 1.2) to t he
runner-up spot, with Jendro (4-3) wrapping up
thir d in the mota as well as overall.
In 250cc B action. Zach Koster won in
runaway fashion. grabbing the day's overall by
turning two great starts into a pair of moto wins.
