reel in the leaders, the second-year EJwert's ride
was impress,ive. Simonsen finished a wheel
ahead of Price for the victory. Brown, Rickman,
Vernon, David Ande'rson, Currey and John
Meyers rounded out the top eight
One of the dominant riders of the weekend,
jeff Rister, finalized a four-for-four tally in his
two-dass rampage. His closest challenges came
from Scooter Vernon in the 250cc A main. The
former 80cc National Amateur Champion stayed
close to Rister, but the veteran held strong under
pressure. Rister faced advances from Kyle Ragsdale and Nick Sellers in the 250cc DTX final, but
the Yamaha rider was again victorious.
Evan Aronson was also perfect in his four
classes on both days. Aronson won the 50ce
Senior and 50cc Modified classes, with his closest
competition being jacob Lehmann and j.D. Beach.

Stewart dam good at
Muddy Creek MX

BLOUN1VILLE, IN, JUNE 6
Every lap and both overall victories in the 85cc
(12-13) and Schoolboy classes belonged to james
Stewart. Aboard his FMF KawasaJti, Stewart
bumed up the Muddy Creek track, especially in
the 85cc (12-13) class, which stagger-started
behind the 85cc (14-15) clivision. By the time the
checkered flag was unfurled, Stewart was
threatening to head the entire field and beat
Blake Hovis to the line.
Hot sunshine pushed riders to their limits on
Muddy Creek's long, l.3-mile circuit, but the
Victory Sports track crew worked hilrd all day to
keep dust from developing.
Stewart's closest competition came from
another Team Greener, josh Summey, in the first
moto of Schoolboy class. Not generally noted for
slow, leisurely rides, Summey stuck his KXl25
up under the rear fender of Stewart's KX80,
pushing and chaUcnging lap after lap. Stewart
crossed the finish line first, but just barely.
The second Schoolboy moto was a replay of
the first. Stewart blasted across the line first, followed by Summey and Matt Barnes. The remaining placings fluctuated wildly owing to crashes
in different places, allowing Blake Pierson to take
fourth with 7-4 finishes and Thomas OsriaIowski
to round out the top five with his 6-5 score.
Stewart's younger brother Malcolm strapped
on his own six-shooter to challenge the leader in
the 50 Shaft class, Cody Robbins. Robbins, however, was not playing, and he ran off with both
motos to take the overall win, leaving Malcolm
with runner-up honors.
Summey's wounded pride was soothed
somewhat with a weU-deserved win in the 125cc
B class over such powerhouses as Daniel Tesh,
josh Woods, Adam Overcash, Matt Bames and
Ben Riddle.
Tesh took the holeshot on the first 12Scc B
moto start, followed by a swarm consisting of
Summey, Woods, Overcash, Doug Earls and
Aaron Stancil. Team Green's Riddle got an
uncharacteristic midpac.k start and, coming
around turn one at the top of the hill, he got
cross-rutted and went down, taking four other
riders to the ground as well. Riddle remounted
at the back of the pack and proceeded to pour
fuel on the fire, matching and possibly exceeding the speed of the lead pack for the rest of the
race. Too much time had elapsed, though, and
Riddle managed to climb only as far as 13th.
Meanwhile, on Muddy Creek's tricky back
section, Summey found a faster way through the
timing whoops and sailed past Tesh into the
lead. With two laps to go, Woods made the pass
in the same section and took over second,
intending to hunt down Summey. Tesh hung
tough in third, staying close to Woods, while
Stancil, Earls and Overcash entertained the
crowd with a battle of their own. Stancil finished
fourth for the moto, and Overcash got around
Earls with part of a lap to go, claiming fifth.
On the second 12Scc B moto start, Riddle
regained his composure and naUed the holeshot
with great finality. There was no mistaking that
Ben intended for the comeback round to have
his name on it, and to prove it, he led every lap.
Riddle simply checked out and left everyone
else behind to fight over second place.
Also, Tesh was determined not to let Summey past this time out and, in spite of intense
pressure from the Stanley rider aod Woods, he
held on to the runner-up spot with a death grip.
The trio flew over the finish-line tabletop within
inches of each other. Overcash, Stancil, Earls and
Barnes again provided yet another raee-withina-race, with Overcash claiming the final top-five
moto position.
