World Championship Hosted by
Fasthouse… that was, until Josh
Grant ran into a bit of bad luck.
Grant had a hard crash in prac-
tice that ended his day before
he was able to line up, leaving
his #33 Twisted Development
Yamaha with no rider. Wageman
stepped in at the last minute, and
before he knew it, found himself
with a holeshot and race win.
A second-place behind Trevor
Stewart in the second moto was

He collided with another rider on
the track, and was carted off to
the hospital where it was found
he had six broken ribs and a
punctured lung.
