"We were running well, and the track was really fun; it really suit- ed my style," said Russell. It was rocky and narrow, and I could see the leaders; we were just all kind of close there. You get a little gap here and there, and then you catch back up or vice versa. It's kind of like playing the yo-yo game, and unfortunately, I went down and hurt the same shoul - der I injured before. So, we will just have to see how it goes." Ashburn took command of second and held it to the finish. "You know, today was a good day," said Ashburn. "This being a hometown track kind of put a lot of pressure on me; everybody you know wants to see a win, and I put out the best I could today. I felt like I rode good. I kind of had a little error in the middle, but we kind of regrouped and put down a hard charge toward the end, and we made a charge. Hat's off to all the fans out here. They just urged me on the last lap, and that got me going. I kind of reeled him in at the end but just came up short. I'm just happy to be on the box." Girroir came down with a stomach bug on Saturday but hung in there to finish third. With the finish, the KTM rider remains atop of the standings. "I got on the track, and I knew it was going to be a long day, so I gave it hell, and I'm on the po - dium," said Girroir. "So, I'm happy as it's a win for today, so it's all good, and I'm still in the points lead going to the next one." Witkowski ended up in a two-way battle with DeLong for fourth, with each rider leading the way. DeLong got the best of Wit - kowski, which kept his title hopes alive. Witkowski's fifth was his best finish in the XC1 class so far. FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers' Grant Davis turned in a stellar performance to win the XC2 250 Pro division with a solid sixth overall. Having won the overall at The General GNCC in March in the XC2 250 Pro class, Josh Toth has been one to keep an eye on. The Enduro Engineering Honda rider battled with Davis for sixth but, in the end, settled for second in the XC2 250 Pro division and seventh overall. Babbitt's Online Monster En- ergy Kawasaki's Grant Baylor had a rough day. He started next to last ahead of his brother, Stew- ard, and then struggled to work his way up to eighth. Husqvarna-mounted Jason Tino claimed his best overall fin- ish to date and won the 250A di- vision with a ninth overall, while Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Rac- ing's Trevor Bollinger rounded out the top 10.
