Trevor Barrett and Dal Hall Jr. kept him honest the entire time. Cobra-mounted Robbins came out blazing in the SOcc (4-6) class and again reeled off two moto wins. Fellow KIM riders Seth Quesinberry and Kody Duke were waiting in the wings for a mistake from Robbins, but the Cobra rider did not falter. Joshua Schmitt took his first win of the day in the 60cc (10-11) class. Schmitt outgunned the competition and was perfect in both motos. Kawasaki riders Clay Willett and Jordan White gave chase both times out but could not maintain Schmitt's pace. Yamaha-mounted Schmitt ripped off double moto wins for his second championship on the day in the Junior Mini class. Kawasaki rider Tyler Bright was poised in the number-two position in both motos.
