4TH 250SX EAST
RJ Hampshire grabbed a solid fourth
in the 250SX main event. "While I was
running third, I dabbed my leg in a
corner, and it gave me a s nger on my
knee, which caused me to mess up the
rhythm a couple of laps, and [Jeremy]

decision to be smart and take fourth,
so I could move on to Indy and get bet-
