"It' s tou gh on these tracks," th e 21yea r-old Schnell said after his two wins
o n Satu rday nig ht. "T his was a lot of
fun , but it really wasn't tha t easy. Rusty
(Holland) was tou gh, and having Casey

T he fea ture saw C lawso n M ot orsports Ho nda rider Rust y Holland bar rel to the fro nt , with Lytle chasing . The
ba ttl e was s ho rt -lived , though, as the
two had a run-in with eac h other that

po int. Ho lla n d 's nig h t ha d sta r ted
poor ly when he lost the clutch ha nd le
in the s tarting gate; then he had some
cras he s.
Evans was the man to beat after that,
and he brought the RM to the checkers
in fro nt of Ryan Terlecki and Sch ne ll,
after a good battle for second. From the
first practice, Evans looked like the ma n
to beat, as he p icked excellent lin es on
t he b usy track . Nathan Woods took

Terl ecki, Woods and Davis.
The Pee Wee class was the bigges t
eve r, with two heats transferrin g the riders to tw o different mains. Josh Duppong top ped the A d ivision on his KTM,
with Eric Roth second on his Cobra over
Richie Thomas. Thomas was the hit of
the night in the postrace inter view, statin g not only tha t h e li kes to win (h is
heat ), bu t that he also liked the trophy
girl.
Cody Jackson took his KTM to the Bdi vision main-even t win over Ma x Simmons and Ian Barth.
Satu rd ay night s ta rted a lit well for
Schnell, as he wo n the first 125cc eve nt
