ping motos where he came from
deep in the field to the front.
The top minicycle rider of
the week was KTM rider Nate
Thrasher, a native of Tennes-
see. Thrasher was the only rider
on the week to win all six of his
motos, and he was trailed each
time by his KTM stablemate
Max Vohland, the son of former
AMA National, 125 Supercross
and Grand Prix winner Tallon
Vohland. Thrasher was the only
minicycle rider to win two titles.
Other standout minicycle
riders included junior minicycle
titleists Drew Adams, Haiden
Deegan and Enzo Timmerman,
85cc flyers Ryder Difrancesco
and Cadem Braswell.
The top Vet rider of the week
was, once again, Mike Brown,
the 46-year-old legend from
Gray, Tennessee. The Rockstar
Husqvarna rider won both the
Junior +25 class and the Se-
nior +40 class, though Florida's
Ricky Renner gave him fits in
a +25 duel that lasted all week
and went down to the last lap.
Finally, in the Woman's
Amateur class Jordan Jarvis,
Jazzmyn Canfield and Taylor
Allred went 1-2-3 respectively
in all three motos. Allred would
also win the Girls (11-16) class for
minicycles and Jarvis would top

"Ever since my first practice
(last Monday), I knew it was
going to be a good week," said
Drake, who hails from Califor-
nia and works with well-known
trainer Randy Lawrence. "I just
gelled with the track. As soon as
I got out there, I'm like, 'all right,
we've just got to be smart about
this. We've got to be smart about
the weather if there is any, and if
so, smart on the tire choice.' The
weather was awesome, so we
lucked out on that. I drew okay
picks for the gate picks, which
was a huge help. So we put it all
together this week."
Among the other top pros-
pects Drake battled with all week
were Kawasaki Team Green's
Seth Hammaker, Yamaha-sup-
ported Tanner Stack and Drake's
TLD KTM teammate Mitchell
Falk.
In the B classes, Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna's Jalek Swoll
captured the 250 B and School-
boy 2 B/C titles after surviving
some intense battles with yet
another TLD KTM rider in Pierce
Brown and Kawasaki-backed
Dilan Schwartz. The Floridian,
Swoll, who also earned his high
school diploma on Thursday
night from On-Track with several
other competitors, was named
top amateur for the week,
edging out Monster Energy/
Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha
prospect Ty Masterpool, who
won both of his 125cc School-
boy classes with some jaw-drop-
Jordan Jarvis won the WMX race
that was held in conjunction with
the amateur championships at
Loretta Lynn Ranch.
