OFF-ROAD I GRAND NATIONAL CROSS-COUNTRY SERIES
The perfect way to wrap up the
championship."
Girroir was sixth overall and
second in the XC2 250 Pro
class, the first time all year
he hasn't won the class in the
events he's raced.
Tely Racing KTM's Liam
Draper turned in his best per-
formance of the season to take
seventh overall and third in the
XC2 250 Pro class.
After starting the race in third,
FMF/KTM's Josh Toth broke
his shift lever while climbing a
hill and he was stuck in second
gear, finishing eighth overall on
the day.
grass took advantage of a fall by
the GasGas rider to finish fifth
overall, giving him the win in the
XC2 Pro 250 class and the divi-
sion championship.
"Johnny and I had a good
race," said Snodgrass. "I was
leading for a little bit, and then I
was following, then I was back in
the lead, then following. I ended
up getting back in the lead on
the last lap when he had a fall,
and I was able to get by him.
Then he was right behind me
again in the last couple miles
and I just had to stay in front.
Was able to do so and ended
up being a really good day.
Fourth overall went to Duvall,
who grabbed the holeshot to
start the race.
"It was a tight race all day—I
got to lead some laps, which
is something I haven't done yet
this year being hurt and all,"
Duvall said. "It was weird being
out front, but I enjoyed it. I had
a little issue halfway through
the race and kind of lost those
guys. Last lap, I was able to put
the hammer down and get to
the rear wheel of DeLong and
Jordan Asburn but just couldn't
make that happen."
After six laps of wheel-to-
wheel dicing with Girroir, Snod-
Ricky Russell was leading late in the
race until getting held up on a hill.
