Travis Petton (KTM) 18.633 Tarren Santero matched his best career result in fourth with Turner Honda rookie Evan Ren- shaw next in line, establishing his own new high-water mark in fifth. The victory marked Saathoff's second in a row and third on the season, equaling Drane for second most in the class this year. Kopp continues to lead the way with five wins, but that gap is not nearly so pronounced fol - lowing three consecutive runner- up finishes as it was when he had taken five wins in the season's opening eight races. Still, that trio of second-place results has moved Kopp that much closer to a record third Parts Unlimited AFT Singles crown. He now leads the chase by 28 points over Saathoff (246- 218) and 40 over Drane (206) with time running short on the efforts to usurp the throne. CN winning the DuQuoin Mile in what he hoped would prove the first leg of a home-state double. The JPG Motorsports pilot showed plenty of aggression early to overhaul Drane despite a sliding and bucking machine underneath him. Once in front, he continued to charge, opening a half-second advantage over Kopp and Drane. However, that lead was struck down the same way Kopp's and Drane's had been a year prior, with a red flag resetting the or - der following a crash on the part of Vinson Construction's Hunter Bauer. Back underway, Saathoff left the door open, and Kopp stepped through. The Rick Ware Racing hero then stretched open a lead of his own until a bobble brought Saathoff and Drane right back into the strike zone. Given another opportunity, Saathoff ran it up the inside of Kopp with less than a minute remaining and held the position to the checkered flag, followed by Kopp in second and Drane in third. "We had a good line there in turns one and two that was killer, but I just couldn't figure out three and four," said Kopp. "I kept slipping wide, slipping wide, and then one time Chase was there. He rode great. I pushed him hard those last three laps. I'd lose a bunch on this end and gain it all back going up the jump. It's cool when it's us three on the podium every round. We're swapping positions every round, and it's been a fun year."
