as he got the lead early on and
never looked back.
Race three again looked like
a carbon copy of race one as
Lawrence almost grabbed the
holeshot only to slide out in the
slick right-handed corner. He
got going in the back of the pack
and immediately began pick-
ing off riders in similar fashion
to race one. Lawrence worked
his way up to Forkner and made
an all-out pass as he swapped
passed Forkner in the whoop
section. The two hit the finish
line in quick succession, but
Lawrence tagged a Tuff Block
in front of me and went down in
front of the mechanics' area. I
got back up and kept pushing
and was able to make it to third
in that race for second overall. It
feels good to get on the po-
dium."
As usual Lawrence was the
center of the action on Saturday
night. A near holeshot in race
one was spoiled after he fell in
turn two and dropped back to
almost last. He put on a charge
in the 10-minute-plus-one-lap
race and fought all the way back
to fourth at the line. Race two
looked like classic Lawrence
set him back, but he was gifted
two spots late in the race that
ultimately secured his overall
podium.
"It was a bit of a rough day, to
be honest," Martin said. "I got
off to a decent start in the first
race of the Triple Crown, but I
had nowhere to go when a rider
went down in front of me, and I
had to make my way from last to
ninth. The second one was bet-
ter, and I finished second, just
behind Jett. In the third race, I
was ready to see what we could
do to finish out the night. I went
to make a pass and hit the guy
Jett Lawrence
won one race
but a crash in the
final race hurt his
chances for the
overall win. He
settled for third.
