ATLANTA 2
Tuesday night's race really tipped the
series on its head. The series has
become hyper-focused on the Webb/
Roczen rivalry, and the Honda pilot
put down some fast laps during the
opening qualifying sections. He took
the second spot behind Jason Ander-
son but was over a full second faster
than Webb before the night show
began. Armed with his level-headed
attitude, Roczen took a dominant heat
race victory. In the same race, Webb
crossed the line in fourth position,

"I have to give it up to my team, they
gave me a compe ve bike tonight—
we went back and figured some things
out," Cooper Webb said a er Atlanta
3. "Honestly, I made so many mistakes
and I really didn't ride well at all, but I
dug deep. I saw Kenny out front, and
he was riding awesome. I was trying to
do everything I can and when he made
that mistake, I saw blood in the water,
and I went for it. I just wanted to win."

"I changed my mindset big- me for
tonight's race," Roczen said a er Tues-
day night's win. "It started already in
free prac ce, with se ng the fastest
lap me by just being aggressive. At
the same me, we did some changes
to the bike that helped out, but of
course it's always unproven un l
you start racing it. We did a bunch of
changes throughout the en re day,
and it really seemed to pay off. I was
pumped with how I was riding, but
I knew the main event was going to
be a long one, just because of how
tough and long the track was. I'm so
pumped for Honda to have pulled off
a first and second; it was a huge night
for us, also in the points chase, and I
hope we can keep this up and come
back and ba le again for Atlanta 3."

Atlanta 2 and most likely would've
won Atlanta 3 had it not been for an
uncharacteristic solo crash while leading
race three. (Right) Chase Sexton (23)
followed his first career podium at Atlanta 1
with another runner-up at race two. Atlanta
3 saw his podium run come to an end.
