MYOWNRACE 10 JOHNNY LEWIS 5TH PRODUCTION TWINS Johnny Lewis saw a poten al podium— maybe even a win—derailed even prior to the main. The Royal Enfield pilot twisted his knee in the semi and had to grit it out just to earn a top five in the Mission Produc on Twins main. He said, "Overall, I'm a li le disappointed. I came into the race with high expecta ons just because it's a short track, and we're ge ng the Royal Enfield be er. We had some issues throughout the day—we broke a clutch and I got into the airfence in one of the qualifying sessions, but I was s ll fast. I made a pass for the lead in the semi, but at the same me I twisted my knee pre y good. I s ll finished second in the semi, but it was touch and go whether or not I could even go out for the main. I salvaged a fi h, but it's s ll disappoin ng." about the rule changes and stuff at the Red Mile, but we came to a rider's track, and we went 1-2 on the Yamaha. I think that proves we've got what it takes. It's awesome that we're up front running good. It's no fluke." Mission Roof Systems' Jarod Vanderkooi enjoyed far-and-away his best result of the season aboard the private Indian FTR750 by finishing third. Vanderkooi registered a charge of his own, following in Daniels' wake, and then took full advan- tage when the Baumans' higher line went away on them. Bronson held on for fourth with Briar fifth, one spot ahead of defending champion and cur- rent points leader Mees. Bob Lanphere's BMC Rac- ing's Davis Fisher, Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson's Jesse Janisch, Mission Roof Systems' Brandon Robinson, and Vinson Construction/Viper Air's Dan Bromley completed the top 10. Mission Roof Systems-backed Sammy Halbert finished 11th ROUND 6 / JUNE 11, 2022 NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY / LOUDON, NEW HAMPSHIRE P84 FLAT TRACK I PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN FLAT TRACK day; the bike was working great. I was getting great starts, which, at this track, you need—and then in the main, I just screwed it. I was sitting third, but then Briar pushed Jared out just a little bit, so I got by Jared. Coming off two, Briar spun up a little bit and I got by him. After that, I didn't look back." Teammate Daniels said, "I had to work my way from like seventh and passing these guys on a one-line track is not easy. The Yamaha was working so good today. There's been a lot of fuss Dallas Daniels made it a Yamaha 1-2.
