where I had a couple of sneaky
inside lines and I was able to put a
gap on the rest of the of the guys,"
said Steward. "It's easy once you
get out of sight of the rest of the
riders just to run up some time
and I was just able to pull away
from the pack."
At the finish, Steward had near
-
ly 35 seconds on second place.
Although
he was day-to-day as
far as deciding if he was healthy
enough to race the Big Buck, FMF/
KTM Factory Racing's Ben Kelley,
who dominated all of the first five
rounds of the 2022 season before
a devastating leg injury put him
on the sidelines for the remainder
of the year, rode to an impressive
second overall.
