could've, just tricky lappers and different things, but no excuses." Denver was all set up to be Christian Craig's day. He only needed to beat Lawrence in the main to clinch the title one round early. The two started 1-2 and fought close for the first few laps. A mistake by Craig entering the sand section saw him launch off the back of the bike and hit the dirt. He remounted outside the top five and fought through the pack, a sight we've seen more often in the second half of the season. The points leader charged hard through the latter stages of the race and secured the final spot on the podium. The championship fight now goes to the series finale. "When I got my bike up, I knew what place I was in," Craig said. "I sensed it and I freaked out a little at that point. I want to minimize that gap as much as possible. So, I made a couple quick passes, got into the top five and then I had those other two in front of me. And then I saw [Lawrence and Mosiman] not that far in front. So, after that I calmed down and just rode my laps. I knew I was faster than Jalek [Swoll] and Jo [Shimoda] ... was able to pass for third, and I can't be too bummed at that. Coming from a fall to seventh and then back to third, I did what I can with what I was dealt." CN 450SX Results 1. Jason Anderson (Kaw) 26 Laps 2. Malcolm Stewart (Hus) +13.860 3.
