"And what an intense battle with Dallas. I felt like I clicked off some good laps early, and then I heard him coming. He showed a wheel on the outside a couple times and then threw a couple divebombs in, but nothing that was dirty. And I was just able to counter. We had a bike that was just working really good tonight. It was a dream night." Daniels had to be content with keeping his perfect sea - son's run of podiums alive, while also knowing that he opened his championship advantage on Mees and that the second half of the season arguably tilts more in his favor than it does for Robinson with a pair of TTs looming. Mees managed to hold off Bauman to secure third and keep the gap to Daniels semi- manageable. "Brandon [Robinson] was fly - ing," said Mees. "And Dallas has been on it all year long. We've been plugging away. We've been a little off our game I want to say the last couple weeks, but that was a step in the right direction." The SuperTwins Champion - ship now stands at 170 points for Daniels, 156 for Robinson, and 151 for the reigning champ, Mees, who is angling to win a historic 10th Grand National Championship before he hangs up his helmet. Rackley Racing's Davis Fisher was elevated to fifth when a late-race issue forced Vanderkooi out of the contest. The second half of the top 10 was headed by Memphis Shades/BCTRA's Brandon Price in sixth and Indian-mounted Trevor Brunner in seventh for Zanotti Racing. Fellow rookie Declan Bender earned his best premier-class result yet on the GOMR Indian in eighth, while Fastrack Racing's Bronson Bau - man and Royal Enfield super-sub Dalton Gauthier rounded out the top 10.
