Kawasaki boys as Lynn was also
forced to exit the race early, suf-
fering a mechanical issue while
in the lead.
Smooth and steady won the
race as Oliviera then found him-
self in the lead, which he held to
the finish for his second win of
the season. Justin Hoeft, riding
for Purvines Racing Yamaha,
was pushing hard, shaving
seconds each lap, but could not
reel him in. In third place was
Beta's Dare Demartile, at his first
race back since his injury at the
Blythe round earlier this year.
Demartile looked back to form,
with the same style and ease he
is known for, and it showed with
his podium result.
In the Pro 250 division, Kai
Aiello grabbed the holeshot on
his 3 Bros Husqvarna and led the
race early, with JP Alvarez chas
-
ing him down on his RPM racing
KTM. In the second lap Alvarez
made the pass on Aiello and was
able to set the pace from that
point. Another Purvines Yamaha
rider, and the points leader, Jack
Simpson, had a rough start. His
sixth-place start meant he had
his work cut out for him. Pass
-
ing in the off-road section was
highly difficult, with low visibility
in the thick dust. Still, he made it
work, picking off rider after rider
and settling into second place.
He focused on running down
Alvarez, but the gap proved to
be too much, forcing Simpson to
settle for a respectable second
place, nonetheless extending his
points lead in the class, staying
healthy for the next two rounds.
In Pro-Am, Kayden Lynn
brought home his first win in the
class, making it a three-podium
weekend for the Purvines team.
Lynn nailed the all-important
start and allowed him to set
his own pace while the rest of
the field clamored in the dust.
Mason Decunzo was able to
close the points gap, claiming
second place by finishing ahead
of points leader Hayden Florez.
Justin Patton put his best race
of the season together finishing
in third place.
