Rispoli, Lehmann and Janisch
fought over third.

one rider each of the last two

tire, Rispoli was able to hold on
to fourth over Lehmann. Gauthier
IIIMY OWN RACE:
95 JD BEACH
3RD AFT TWINS
"I had an idea of what Rob [Pearson]
was going to do because he did the
same pass on me, and he knew that
was for third," said Beach. "Going
into the last lap, I tried to stay close
to Rob. When he got underneath, he
pushed him up a li le bit, and I got it
turned and just got a good run. It was
a li le close, but it was fine. Earlier I
got caught with lappers. They weren't
being too smart today. They would let
one guy by and get right back in line.
On a track like this, it sucks, but it's
racing."
27 ROB PEARSON 4TH
AFT TWINS
"I really thought I had a shot at third,"
said Rob Pearson. "I had some prob-
lems when I took off for the warm-up
lap. I kicked the bike into gear, and the
thing just started going. I thought, 'Oh
no, the clutch has one or two starts
le .' I didn't really drag off that good
and kind of tried to get into a rhythm.
I tried to not get so out of shape that
it wore me out. In the end, I thought
I could get under Jared. I got a block
pass on him, but I couldn't get it to
turn a er that. JD did the same thing
that I did to him. I figured I would do
the same thing on the last lap, but I
ran it in a li le hard. I just didn't get
it turned. Once JD came under me,
Sixteen-year-old Dallas Daniels won the Singles main.
