Hart was the first of the top riders to work through the pack and was up to third by the end of the first lap. Hart took the lead on the second lap, while Haaker took another lap to work his way into second. Hart held a safe gap over Haaker to take his sec- ond moto win of the night. Abbott, who crashed on the first lap, worked his way through the field to take another third place. Gerston finished fourth again, and Cullins a strong fifth. In the third and final moto, Hart, Haaker and Riordan exited the first turn in the top three. Abbott was fourth and quickly around Riordan to join the battle for the moto win. Those top three riders were close for several laps, and Abbott made a move past Haaker to take over second and then applied heavy pressure on Hart for several laps. Haaker closed back in but got stuck at the bottom of the Rocky Moun- tain ATV-MC rock garden and lost touch with the top two. Abbott was the fastest rider on the track and pressured Hart for a few laps before a mistake in the firewood pit allowed Hart to get away for this third moto win of the night. Riordan finished fourth in the moto and Gerston rounded out the top five. Hart's perfect night ensured the KTM rider the overall. Haaker's 2-2-3 was good enough for second overall, and Abbott's 3-3-2 was his ticket to the podium. Colton Haaker didn't have his A-game in Reno, but he still leads winner Hart by nine points in the championship.
