FLAT TRACK
AMERICAN FLAT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 6/JUNE 2, 2019
THE RED MILE/LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY
P70
On the last lap, Bauman
made a move on the outside as
the pair drafted to the finish line.
Mees held on to win by .056
seconds. Smith was 1.1 seconds
off the leader with Vanderkuur
only two-tenths of a second
behind Smith.
Wiles was a lonely fifth well
ahead of an equally lonesome
Davis Fisher (Bob Lanphere
Beaverton Motorcycles/Dick
Wall 60, Indian FTR750). Bron-
son Bauman, Rob Pearson,
and Jake Johnson finished in a
tight pack for seventh, as Jef-
frey Carver filled out the top 10.
AFT Pro Singles
The 15-lap AFT Singles main
event (round seven of the Sin-
gles Championship) was the
barnburner everyone was ex-
pecting, as Shayna Texter (Red
Bryan Smith (4) took third but he wanted the win.
Bull KTM Factory Racing/Roof
Systems, KTM 450 SX-F), Mikey
Rush (RMR Honda/Red Riders
Rewards, Honda CRF450R) and
Dalton Gauthier (D&D Cycles/
Gobert Smash, Husqvarna FC
450) battled for the lead.
Texter and Rush exchanged the
lead several times with Gauthier
sneaking into second on lap five,
only to be dropped back to third
almost immediately. With only a
hand full of laps left, Gauthier lost
the draft and was engulfed by the
war over fourth that became a war
over third between Ryan Wells
(Estenson Racing/Monster Energy,
Yamaha YZ450F), Tristan Avery
Mees and Briar Bauman (14) went at it right down to the wire.
