Mees already owns twice as many wins (six) as he earned during the entirety of last year's championship-winning sea - son (three). And yet even with victories in more than half of the season's races, he still finds himself second in the points. However, the deficit left to make up to Daniels now stands Behind, Daniels scored his 11th consecutive podium in 11 races this season in third. But he only did so after scrapping past Beach and Bromley, and then doing so again after nearly crashing when Bromley's front wheel clipped his rear tire. Beach narrowly fended off the charging Fisher to lock down fourth, while Bromley finished sixth after, once again, proving he can hang with pretty much anyone in the world when given a proper opportunity to do so. JMC Racing's Jarod Vanderkooi finished a lonely seventh, while Moto Anatomy X Powered by Royal Enfield's Despite falling short of the win, it was another promising out - ing for Bauman.

He said, "Overall, the day was awesome. We figured the bike out and found some lines. We were really on top of things for the (Al Lamb's Dallas Honda Challenge) and pulled off the win there. For the main event, in the opening laps, we were throwing down some real heaters. I felt like I was pulling away a little bit, but you know, Kody is a smart rider. I think he went to school on me and learned the lines I was doing and was able to use them against me. But I'm grateful to be on the podium again. Let's hope we keep this rolling." Despite earning his sixth win, Mees is still chasing points leader Daniels, but he is closing in.
