Morgen Mischler (Yam) 10. Parker Lange (Hon) Bromley (KTM North America/ Bromley Motorsports, KTM 450 SX-F) and Tristan Avery (Ron Ayers Racing/Mr. Sign, Honda CRF450R) were a little over four seconds back in sixth and seventh.

Cole Frederickson (Hon) 4. Jacob Lehmann (Hon) a while, and I kind of got into him in turns one and two. I made the move and got him over the jump. Then I just tried to put my head down for like two laps. When I looked back, I had a little bit of a gap and tried to relax because it was easy to make mistakes on the track today." Frederickson was able to hold off his traveling buddy, Jacob Lehmann, for his second podium of the year, but was somewhat disappointed with third. "I really thought I could win the main. I was in the lead at one point, but eventually fell back to third," said Frederickson. "I am very happy with another podium, but that win would have been unbelievable." Ben Lowe (Bruce Lowe Exca- vating/Lowe Life Performance, Honda CRF450R) finished fifth just behind Lehmann. Current AFT Singles points leader Dan points left in play. Wiles is the only rider with any chance of beating the defending Grand National Champion. GETTING TIGHTER The AFT Singles points race tightened as Ryan Wells' second- place finish, coupled with points leader Dan Bromley's sixth, closed the gap to 42. Shayna Texter, who failed to qualify for the main is now 79 points back in third. CONTINUES TO IMPRESS Full-time MotoAmerica road racer Hayden Gillim continues to impress in his rookie year in the AFT Twins class. He made his third straight main event, but is still in a learning mode. "The Indian is awe- some," said Gillim. "It was working well today. I just didn't have any- thing for those front boys. Twenty- five laps on a twin would be like doing 50 laps on a 450. It's a lot harder and it's a lot more bike." Gillim has one dirt track race left on his schedule. "I'm looking forward to Springfield. I'm looking forward to doing some drafting on the mile with these fellas. It's been so much fun." Briefly... Ryan Wells (94) took second, but he still trails class leader Dan Bromley (sixth at Peoria) in the Singles Championship by 42 points.
