through the rollers side by side, with Bunkoske
coming out ahead ; Holmes wen t dow n entering
the whoop section. Bunkoske came th rough

Holmes' cha rge w as reminisce nt of Bubba
Stewart's come-Irom- behfnd run at Budds
Creek in 2003. Bunkoske gave the lead up to
Hamburgur at the end of the first lap. Holmes
was making some ground o n the leaders but fell
again over the plateau jump. Hamburgur went
unchallenged to the end , capturing the firstmote win, over Bunkoske. Holmes took third
w ith a nice come-f rorn-behlnd ride, and Easton
Crevier had the fourth position sew n up.
Holmes was back in a familiar position at the

the second spot. Seve rinse n go t some good
drive th rough t he uphill w hoop section and
pulled alongside the pair of riders, making the
pass exiting the section. Severinsen the n made
up crucial time by doing the infield double lap

some ground on the others. Woller stayed up
front for the flrst-rncto victory, and Severinsen
finished a distant second. Rounding out the top
five were Hass in third , Vaness in fourth and
Andy Kost in fifth.
Hass pulled the second-mota holeshot and
led t he pack of Pee Wees through the firs t
