respectable fourth, with Preston right on his tail in fifth. "You know, you see a lot of people going down, so I played it safe," Preston said. "I rode cautious, and I got fifth and I moved up in points, so I'm happy." "I got a little tired at the end, so training has to pick up a little, but I've got five weeks for that," Johnson said. "As far as me being up front, it boosts my confidence a bunch." "The last three rounds haven't been good at all," Laninovich said. "I've been having some bad luck, and my heat race wasn't so good. But I got an all-right pick and I got a good start, and it just feels so good to get third place. I don't know what to say. I'm so happy." "Brock [Sellards] rode a great race," Gosselaar said. "I charged the whole race, but I couldn't catch him. He's riding good. Man, I'm so happy to finish on the podium after the last couple weeks and a couple not-sogreat rides, but I felt good out there today." "I got my Red Bull KTM out to a great start," Sellards said. "I'd like to thank all the fans for cheering - I know it wasn't probably the most exciting race up front, but I could still hear you cheering, even though maybe it wasn't for me."
