Oklahoma State Fairgrounds - Grandstands Once underway McGrath quickly shot into the lead with Tyson Vohland and Sailors in second and third On the first lap Manley tried to dive underneath Chris Young in a corner, but went down hard. "I tried to be too careful," said Manley. "Young was holding me back and I should have just pushed my way around him. Instead he moved over on me and 1 crashed. With the short races its important to make your move on the first lap." While Manley struggled to get up in the back of the pack, McGrath was trying to hold off Tyson Vohland As the pair was going at it Tallon Vohland also moved in on McGrath, making it a three-way battle for the lead. Shortly before the halfway point Vohland edged up alongside McGrath and began to make his move. However, McGrath quickly retaliated and held onto the number one position. A lap later Tyson Vohland again pulled next to McGrath, but this time he was successful as he launched past McGrath and into the lead. A lap later Tallon Vohland did the same thing, which dropped McGrath to third. Back in the pack Manley was struggling to make up for lost time and trying to make up points on Holley. Holley, who started in the back of the pack, was eighth as Manley was charging hard in 11 tho As the race neared the end the Team Green KawasakilYoko/RKI Bieffe/Scott/Race Tech/Dunlop/ FMF/Sprocket Specialist-backed Vohlands still occupied the top two positions with McGrath holding strong in third. Paul Vlach was fourth with Munson fifth. The last few laps saw Holley put on an impressive charge and move into fifth behind Vlach. Tyson Vohland captured the win by a split second ahead of Tallon Vohland. McGrath was third. "I had this plan," said Tallon Vohland. "I wanted to get the fastest lap time so that 1 could get a lot of points in the races. But anyway, in the end it worked out exactly how we wanted it - Vohlands 1-2. • TICKETS ON SALE NOW Results MAIN: 1. Tyson Vohland IKaw); 2. Tallon Vohland (Kaw); 3. Jeremv McGrath IKaw); 4.
