solid un l we got into some lappers,"
said Forkner. "And then I made a
slight mistake in the whoops when I
was jumping through them. Right be-
fore he got me, we were pre y much
matching each other every lap. And
even a er he got me, I kept it pre y

A handful of laps later, Tomac
used the whoops to get alongside
Roczen and push him wide in the
following turn to take the lead, but
that only lasted a few laps before
Tomac made an unforced error
and went over a berm, handing
the lead back to Roczen.
Adam Cianciarulo once again
showed he can be the fastest on
the track, but he hasn't been able
to convert that into a win.
