and getting around Lynn during
the race's third lap.
The best weekend battle was
in the 250 Pro class, as the lead
switched four times throughout
the two-hour moto. Wyatt Matt
-
son, aboard his Purvines Yama-
ha machine, blasted out to the
holeshot. He led the way ahead
of Kai Aiello and Jake Alvarez.
On the first lap, Colton Aeck
found himself on the ground
early in the race but, fortunately,
still healthy. Afterward, he began
to click off fast laps on his Hatch
Racing Kawasaki. He made up
ground, taking advantage of not
having to deal with dust from the
other racers immediately in front
of him.
Mattson kept the lead until
lap eight, when he suffered
minor mechanical issues that
plagued the rest of his race, but
he kept pushing and finished in
fourth. Aiello moved into first,
but the battles were heating up
as Alvarez and Aeck wouldn't go
down without a fight. The fastest
lap of the race was spun during
lap nine by Aeck, as he barreled
down to catch Aiello after being
close to 50 seconds behind after
the first lap. They banged bars
heading into the moto section
as Aeck pushed himself into
the lead and set sail, claiming
another victory and shooting
himself into the lead in points
with only two rounds to go.
In Pro-Am, Jackson Glathar
took the win, setting himself up
for a chance to clinch the class
championship early at the next
race in Mesquite. After battling
sickness all weekend, he put
his head down and fought off
a charging Hayden Florez and
Keegan Hardy to win his fourth
race of the year.
Kayden Lynn fought hard, but
a mistake towards the end of the
race cost him, and he dropped
back to fifth.
Florez finished in second
place, just over 20 seconds
ahead of Hardy.
In the Women's Pro class,
Katelyn Jacobs, of the RPM/
FMF /KTM Racing Team, took
the win and clinched the 2024
Women's Pro Championship for
the second consecutive year.
