AFT SINGLES Even this early in the season, the typically unpredictable Parts Unlimited AFT Singles class has While Kopp was stuck in that position all the way to and through the checkered flag at the previous round in Texas, he took advantage of the more mul- tiple-lined race track in Missouri. Kopp threw a couple overtaking maneuvers at Mischler before one finally stuck. Once into the lead, Kopp had control over Mischler and worked on building up his gap. He didn't, however, have speed crystallized into a battle between the powerful factory-backed KTM and American Honda squads. Even with limited track time that elevated the chances of a left-field upset, the main event opened in familiar fashion with American Honda/Progressive Insurance's Morgen Mischler attempting to fend off Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammates Kody Kopp and Max Whale.

Despite the ini al disadvantage, Bauman and his XG750R looked more like the combo that landed on the podium in the opener than the pairing that finished eighth in Texas. His forward momentum was stalled by intermi ent brake issues, however, and he was forced to focus on fending off Jesse Janisch for top H-D honors in sixth at the race's end.

I didn't get a great start, but ended up working my way up to sixth place and felt strong. But fairly early on I ended up losing brakes, so I went from charging hard to being in survival mode for the rest of the main event. The last couple laps, Jesse crept up on me and passed me once. I was able to get back by him and hold him off." Brandon Robinson got on the box in third.
