Beta USA's Rachel Gutish
grabbed the holeshot to start
the WMX class and led the first
three laps, looking fully capable
of taking her first win of the year.
However, the battle between
BABS/Fly/Maxiss Yamaha's
Becca Sheets, who had won
every round to this point, and
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Tayla Jones, carried the duo
past Gutish on lap four, the final
lap. Then, with just six miles to
go, Jones put on an impressive
push to overtake Sheets and
secure her first win of the year.
Sheets ended up second
and MEPMX/Fly Racing/Grizzly
Peak/Travelers Rest Speedway
The XC2 class was competi-
tive with all three riders taking
turns at the lead.
FMF/KTM's Josh Toth
started well and was running
inside the top five on the open-
ing lap but struggled with the
dust, dropped off the pace
and eventually finished eighth.
"Kailub and Lane knew
where to sprint and where to
dust us out," said Toth. "I tried
to push through, but I'm still
just a little sore and feeling it
from last week's crash. I did
the best I could and stood up
and just tried to avoid the ma-
jor hits and big holes and just
get through it, survive."
Beta USA's Cody Barnes
continues to shine and turned
in a consistent performance
for ninth overall and fourth XC2
rider, while XC Gear/Enduro
Engineering/Husqvarna's
Ryder Lafferty came in less
than a minute behind to round
out the top 10 and finish as the
fifth XC2 rider.
The FMF XC3 125 ProAm
class, Jason Raines won on
his Raines Racing Yamaha,
ahead of KTM-mounted Zack
Hayes and Yamaha rider Na-
than Ferderer. This has been a
great battle all year, with Hayes
leading the point standings.
Hayes and Raines both have
three wins.
Mike Witkowski took the XC2
250 Pro-class win. He leads the
class championship by just four
points over Craig Delong, who
was second on the day.
