crossed the finish line first. Joey Savatgy and Cedric Sou- beras finished second and third, respectively. Friese was later docked two positions for "dan- gerous racing," which gave the advantage to Savatgy. Wilson rebounded in race two to take the win. The 11-lap race kept the top two close as he kept Friese at bay, finishing less than a second behind. Friese's block passes and brake checks weren't well-received by Wilson, as he scolded the tactics on the podium. Roczen rounded out the podium with Savatgy in fourth. Race three saw the current series champ, Roczen, finally take a win after struggling early in the night. He showed his usual speed and led from start to fin - ish on the two-deep start grid. Savatgy and Wilson took second and third, respectively. Savatgy's 1-4-2 finishes gave him the night's overall win and the se - ries points lead. After their on-track fiascos, Wilson and Friese shared the podium in second and third. "Once again, I wasn't the best or fastest," Savatgy said. "But going into the night, I had one goal, and it was to get three good starts and keep out of the chaos. As far as the rough racing and stuff, I expected it…the track was tight…there's not a lot you could do about it." The SX2 division saw Max Anstie claim the win with 3-1-1 scores. The British rider excelled on the tight layout, and good starts rewarded him with wins in the second and third races. The Honda rider leads the points go - ing into the final round. "I knew I just had to execute each start," Anstie said. "Hit my marks, my whoops, do my thing. Get through the first couple of corners clean; there was carnage if you weren't out in front." Honda Nils rider Chris Blose started the night with a win in race one and backed that up with a pair of thirds. His 1-3-3 results earned him second overall. With Maxime Desprey going 2-9-2 for third. Defending SX2 champion Shane McElrath finished a tough night with a pair of eighths along with an 11th. He dropped to ninth overall on the night and second in the series championship. CN WSX 1.
