Midway through the moto, Million's overeagerness to take the lead resulted in a soil sample dropping him to the back of the pack. after
charging up into third late in the moto , another
fall dropped him ou t of a transfer position.
Scott took the win followed by Diesel, Jason
Griffin , B.J. Bohrer and Brys Kuntz.
Scott jammed out of the starting gate to nab
the holeshot in moto two but things went downhill for the KTM rider shortly after the start.
First, he went too wide in the sweeper and lost
the lead, next he we nt into another corner too
hot, wound up in the rough and fell over. He
restarted in sixth and picked off Mike Meade
late in the moto to grab the transfer slot.
6.J. Bohrer, who had inheri ted the lead from
Scott wen t down and held onto the point position to the checkered with Kuntz only a couple
of bike lengths behind at the checkered.
