moto after leading 12 straight
laps. Another 1-2 on the day
sees him with the same second
place overall, adding another
runner-up spot to this year's
tally. Lawrence is still second in
overall points, 67 points clear of
third place.
"It was tough," said Lawrence.
"I was starting to feel it at the
end. Traction was getting away
from me, and I kept having to
find different lines for the scoop
tire to get traction. Those sec
-
ond motos keep getting me, but
we'll
continue to fight."
Aaron Plessinger is still very
much in the mix as he logged
another pair of thirds at Budds
the championship. Somehow
though, the Honda rider still has
yet to earn himself an overall
win this summer. Two holeshots
at Budds Creek put the Honda
rider up front in both motos and
made life difficult for Sexton.
Lawrence held on for first in
race one but found himself
getting run down in the second
up to fourth and rode really well in
that second moto. I nailed the start
and was in a good position in the first
moto, so it was a bummer of a day,
but we'll take the positives. We're in
one piece, so that's the main goal."
