ston finished fourth and took fourth
overall as well with 5-4-4 results. Hart
finished fifth in the moto and overall.
"After my mistake in the Hot-Lap,
I thought it may be a difficult night,
but I worked my way up to second
in that race," said Haaker. "Then,
the second race was amazing with
a holeshot from row two. In the final
moto, Taddy was taking my lines
everywhere, and I felt like I would
eventually get past him. I made a
pretty aggressive pass near the end
to take the win. This three moto
format is familiar for me since I have
been racing the world championship,
and that helped me."
"Honestly, I was surprised that I
was this competitive," Graffunder
said. "One year ago, I was here on
crutches, and then I had another in-
jury earlier this year. I made a big mis-
take on the last lap in moto two but
then rode strong in the last moto. It is
great to be back up on the podium."
"I had some problems in the first two
motos but was able to come back in
the final with a good finish," Blazusiak
said. "I am looking forward to coming
back for Denver and Idaho." CN
