Steward; it was not enough. In
the end, Lafferty had three wins
on the day compared to Stew-
ard's two, but Steward's fifth-test
flurry was the difference in the
race.
Lafferty's Coastal Racing
GasGas teammate Ricky Russell
turned in his best performance
of the series with a third overall,
taking advantage of his rock-
riding ability.
"I'm a rock guy," said Rus-
sell. "It's a little bit sketchy, but
sometimes I enjoy that because I
like hanging it out a little bit. I just
rode good all day and consis-
tent; didn't overdo it."
Rev Motorsports GasGas'
Grant Baylor finished fourth
overall despite two big crashes
and nearly breaking his hand.
"It was kind of dry and dusty
today, so it was kind of a treach-
erous track, to say the least,"
said Grant. "The second test I
went down, and I thought I broke
my hand. It started to swell
up. It was throbbing and had
some sharp pains, but then the
next test I got going, and it got
loosened back up. Then I had
another big wreck in the fourth
test. I just need to keep it on
two wheels and I think we could
have had a better result."
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Craig Delong, who won the
first test, a grass track, finished
seven seconds behind Grant to
take fifth, despite a fall that cost
him several seconds.
"I had a tip-over and had to
pull my bike out from behind a
tree, so I lost a couple seconds
there," said DeLong. "I feel like
I would have been 10 seconds
faster, which would have put me
in third. I was just kind of a little
bit off, but I was a little bit hesi-
tant, just with the rocks."
