450SX Tomac is persistently impressive. Wins are to be expected from the number-three, but the manner in which he goes about getting it done is downright ruthless. Another start near the front saw the points leader just a few notches behind competitors Jason Anderson (Monster Energy Kawasaki), Justin Barcia (TLD/Red Bull/GasGas) and Malcolm Stewart (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna). Tomac always looks fast, but the rest of the pack does too, and they seemed to be holding the Yamaha man at bay in the opening stages of the 450SX main event. In typical Tomac fashion, he stalked the front runners and struck when the time was right.

"I kind of saved it all for that main event and I'm glad I was able to get through it. I had a good ride but I wish I would have had a be er start to be in the mix. It was tough riding and not being able to do some obstacles but we fought in there. My goal was top-five tonight and I achieved that. I was right there for fourth and it felt good. We were close to that podium, which is all I can ask for." 25 MARVIN MUSQUIN 3RD 450SX "I love these condi ons and I love this place but I knew coming in that this year in Indy it was going to be tough," said Marvin Musquin. "It was a tough day; I'm not going to lie. But I was there when it counts. In those condi ons, you have to be smart and you can't override this track. I was being so pa ent, while trying to be consistent, precise and not make any mistakes, and I was able to pass Malcolm and get third tonight. It was awesome, I'm really happy."
