After a rough start, during which his battery died, Simpson charged hard, reeling in Hoeft lap after lap, but Hoeft was able to push forward in the end to halt him in his tracks long enough to land himself on the podium. Simpson and Giacomo Re- dondi wrapped up the top five overall. In 250cc Pro, Kai Aiello show- cased his speed early, putting himself in the lead on his 3Bros Husqvarna machine. On the third lap, he found himself stuck on the final section in the Matrix, un- able to get the bike up and over the last two logs, which proved to be the trickiest, as they were just close enough together that you couldn't fit the bike straight between them. He fell to the back of the pack, allowing Colton Aeck to grab the lead on his Hatch Racing Kawasaki. Aeck led for most of the race once he took the lead, but an - other small mistake toward the end allowed points leader Sem- mens to take over at the front and put his KTM on the top step for the fourth race in a row. Aeck bounced back after a rough round five in Blythe to finish in second place. Jake Alvarez was in third place, but a last-lap mishap was all Aiello needed to move his way back up into a podium posi- tion after another hard-fought two-hour battle. This track proved to be quite tricky and slippery as the race progressed and, as they pushed their bikes to the max, staying on two wheels was the name of the game. The Pro-Am field had a great battle from start to finish, with teammates Racer Fry and Kayden Lynn fighting with Jackson Glathar for the better part of the 120-minute race. A penalty forced Glathar from sec - ond to third, but he stayed on the podium, and Fry was on fire from start to finish, gaining his first- ever Pro-Am win heading into the summer break. On Saturday morning, the two- strokes let it all hang out, and the sounds whistled through the trees as this track was nothing but wide open for the most part for the 125s. Redondi was on rails: for almost the entire race, he separated himself from the competition. However, on the final lap, with only a few turns to go, disaster struck, as he ran out of gas and had to push his way to the finish line. Tristun Alvarez capitalized on Redondi's bad luck, getting on the top step of the box for the first time since round one of this year. Travis Damon finished in second place for the start of his busy race weekend, as he also won in ATV Pro on Sunday. Dae - mon Woolslayer rounded out the podium in 125 Pro. Connor Moore 450 Pro 1.
