"A
s much as it hurts and pisses me off to get sec-
ond, that was a fun battle," said Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna Factory Racing's Craig DeLong after
a muddy and rocky back-and-forth battle with title rival
Steward Baylor. The two entered round 10 of 12 tied at
the top of the overall standings, but Baylor left town with a
five-point advantage as well as a lot of momentum heading
into the next-to-last round in Newburg, West Virginia, after
snatching the win from DeLong by eight seconds.
