With confidence peaking,
race three again saw "The King
of Triple Crowns" get up front
early and go uncontested for all
14 laps. His 1-1-1 sweep makes
him the third rider ever to do so

that finally came around, too, and
my balance was back."
DOCKED X 5
Five riders received penalties in
the second 450SX main event for

the checkered flag, both times
with the red-cross flag being
displayed. This certainly shook up
the points standings for the night
and was not well received by the
riders, saying they didn't see the
red-cross flag until they were
already committed to jumping.
