first made his way through on
teammate Mikey Rush, diving on
the inside going out of turn two.
A couple of laps later, he made

A couple of laps later, Wiles
was under attack from Daniels'
teammate and found himself
in third. The Michigan rider

Daniels said. "I can't even tell
you how I felt after Volusia not
making that main event. I just
wanted to throw up. In this

win there and we've been uphill
ever since."
In the first main event, Daniels

start and was able to take over
the lead before the end of the
first lap. The 17-year-old put his
head down and left everyone in
the dust, crossing the line for his
second-straight victory.
Daniels' title rival Henry Wiles
made his way by Cose and tried
to chase down Daniels. Around
the halfway mark, his RMR Honda
teammate Michael Inderbitzin was
hot on his heels. Wiles is known

qualifier, won his semi, and
started on pole. The only mar

main that had him in fourth. Dan-
iels quickly recovered and made

teammate Mikey Rush in Friday's Singles
main before pulling away for the win.
