"The last one here in Atlanta went
pre y good," points leader Jus n
Cooper said a er Atlanta 3. "The
track was pre y tricky, especially the
whoops. It challenged us all day, and
it was hard to find my flow, so second
place is awesome. I'm glad to get out
of this one safe and that I was able to
get two good starts tonight with that
red flag to put myself in a good spot. I
made that mistake early, so I was just
riding behind Nate and didn't really
feel the need to push tonight. He was
riding awesome, so hats off to him. It
was a great night for us points-wise!"

250SX WEST (3-12)
"I'm disappointed, obviously, with
how things turned out in Atlanta,"
said Cameron McAdoo a er Atlanta 3.
"The race on Tuesday was tough a er
the crash, but today was probably
harder. We were on the ground too
many mes in the main to even have
a shot. We're not going to feel sorry
for ourselves but be proud of how we
got up each me we were faced with
a challenge. We've got one more race
to fight in Salt Lake City. I'll always
fight to the end and we're going to
keep digging at that final race."

ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY / ATLANTA, GEORGIA
P70
this year, it's that this series can
turn completely around in the
matter of just a few flag drops.
A swarm of other riders capital-
ized on Webb's mishaps, ultimate-
ly leaving him with a sixth-place
finish. This looked eerily similar to
Roczen's troubles during the first
round of racing in Atlanta. A slew
of mistakes, a tough bike setup,
and a late-race run in with Justin
Barcia all added up to a hefty
points swing in the wrong direc-
tion. The talk around the pits post-
each go around. Roczen con-
tinued to lead every lap of the
race and take a commanding
seven-second win over teammate
Chase Sexton.
"I just never lose hope," Roczen
said about the changes from Sat-
urday to Tuesday night. "You can
see things turn around real quick."
This win was essential for the
Honda rider as he took a dam-
aging bite out of Webb's points
lead, knocking it to near-manage-
able 13. If we've learned anything
