At this point, Henry rapidly dropped
off the pace, while Lusk set his sights on
McGrath, whom he passed a lap later
through a turn, McGrath decided he
wanted no part of Lusk and let the
Honda rider go, '
"I felt really good but got kind of hot
and tired out there battling with Doug,"
McGrath admitted, "It was hot and
humid in there. I figured, when Lusk
came on me and passed me, that rather
than go crazy and try to win the race, it
would be better to be safe than sorry.
"I kind of know Doug's style,"
McGrath said of the would-be spoiler.
"Doug rides really fast, hard, but with a
lDng track like this, I didn't think he
could last. Hey, I had my tough times
lasting, too, so I figured if I jm,t hung in
there, didn't fall down, I would finish
behind Ezra."
That he did. Lusk pulled out to a
five-second lead to record his fourth will
of the year.
"I rode so calm out there, I never got
tense one time," Lusk said. "I felt great.
Honda provided me with a great bike,
and I'm very, very thankful.
"Jeremy's been here (with the ti tlel
five times in his career," Lusk said from
the podium. "I can only dream of doing
that - right now, I can only dream of
winning one.
