the turn, and I saw Kailub there,
and I just went up on the bank
where my line was and went
right back down," said Duvall. "It
worked out awesome. I'm glad I
went there and found a line. It's
just one of those things where
you just kind of learn over the
years the bad spots and just go
from there."
Russell escaped the mud just
in time to chase Duvall to the
finish, although he was three
seconds behind when Duvall took
the checkers.
"It was a great race, and I'm
happy with how I rode; it just
didn't work out," said Russell. "A
guy kind of blocked me off there
in the second-to-last one, but I
wouldn't have got him anyway. It
is what it is. He rode good. Got
lucky again."
Bollinger turned in a great race,
and for six laps he had as good a
chance to win as Duvall or Rus-
sell, although he dropped 30
seconds off the pace at the finish.
"I wanted to be up front with
those guys, and we did it all race,"
said Bollinger. "I got tangled up
with some lappers there the last
lap and lost the sight of the lead.
It's a bummer, but the lappers
were tough out there. I don't know
how Kailub is so good at getting
around them. It wasn't a win, but I
didn't feel as good here as I did at
Georgia. I could run the pace, but
in Georgia, I felt like I could go a
lot faster. For how I felt I'm super
pumped with how we did today.
Looking forward to fighting with
these boys again in two weeks."
After winning the season open-
er, Steward Baylor came through
in fourth overall in North Carolina,
the same finish he had at round
two in Georgia. The Tely Energy
Racing/KTM rider went into the
race a bit under the weather, and
Kailub Russell
led most of the
race until a mud
hole slowed him
on the final lap.
