Dean Lane continued his battle with Cla y Hoenshell in the Pro class. Hoen shell got the best ju mp off the sta rt with Ha yden Franklin and Lane close behind. Lane quickly moved past Franklin and began pressuring HoensheIl.

Lan e didn't see him again un til the fifth lap. "I was too cautious passing Iappers and let Clay ca tch back up; Lane said . Lane immediately tu rned up the pa ce, bu t the rocky terrain threw him into a low-side that he co uldn't react to. Hoenshell got to lead the white-flag lap, b ut Lane was back on his tail , bumping his tire at the checkpoint. Hoenshell mad e the deciding mistake 20 feet before coming out of the woods on to the MX track. A set of close trees caught Hoenshell's bars and knocked him off balance. Lane nud ged him at that point, getting Hoe ns hell enou gh out of contro l to zip by.
