(Left to right) Runner-up Ricky Graham, winner Kevin Atherton and third-place finisher Scott Parker raised a commotion in victory circle.
_
picked off his rivals one by one until he
was on Carr's tail.
"You know me, 1 always ride pretty
conservative at the start of a race," said
Parker. "I was just plugging away and
giving it my best."
On the final lap, Parker and Carr
encountered a few lapped riders that
played a major role in the outcome of
their ba ttle. Parker shadowed Carr as
they raced into turn three for the last
time. Carr rode high and got stuck
behind a slower rider, while Parker
dove down low and scored third.
''I'd say that Chris got screwed,"
admitted Parker. "I saw him get boxed
in and I knew that was my chance."
Though Carr was upset, he refused
to pointJingers.
"I'll just give credit to Kris Kiser, he
moved over like he should have when
we were lapping him," said fourth-place
Carr.
Rogers cross'ed the finish line fifth
after suffering a terrible start and fighting his way through the field. In the
main, he repeatedly used his low line in
one and two, and on one occasion, was
joined by Parker down low.
"I was pretty much the only guy
going that low," said a happy Rogers.
"But then Scotty passed me even lower.
I wasn't surprised though, that's why
he's a four-time champ. I'm really
happy with fifth, this is my best finish
so far this year. 1 wanted to make sure 1
didn't go down."
Springsteen rode a steady race and
finished sixth. "I felt good, but the other
guys must have felt a little better,"
Springsteen said.
