Last year's winner
Malcolm Stewart won
one race and took
second overall.
fourth. Wilson went on to take the win by just a
few seconds over Stewart, who held the position
for much of the race. Brayton took second place
five seconds back and was followed across the
finish line by Nicoletti and Cole Thompson.
Stewart led from start to finish in race two,
while Nicoletti trailed the Honda rider in second
place the whole way, finishing 4.5 seconds be-
hind Stewart and just one second ahead of Wilson
and another four seconds ahead of Brayton.
Thompson again took fifth.
With the overall very much on the line going
into the third and final race, Wilson got off to a fast
start, jumping into the early lead, while Stewart
picked himself up in 13th after going down in the
first turn.
Brayton settled into second place but struggled
to match Wilson's quick pace. Wilson ended up
crossing the finish line eight seconds ahead of the
Honda rider for his second win of the night and
the overall victory.
Nicoletti ran third the whole race but lost sight
of the two riders ahead of him as the race pro-
gressed, but he managed to stay well clear of
fourth-place rider Matt Goerke (Kawasaki).
Stewart clawed and scratched his way up to
fifth, which was good enough to give him second
overall.
Thompson took sixth after getting passed by
Stewart on the last lap.
Nicoletti leads Thompson in the series, which
combines the points for the Canadian MX Nation-
als, Canadian Arenacross and Canadian Super-
cross races.
The winner will earn $100,000. CN
