(DC) Racing Kawasaki's Chance Fullerton, the 2019 class champ working his way up for his first win of the season and stopping Sam Pretscherer's win streak at four. The Precision Concepts Husqvarna rider had climbed through the pack to lead until he bent his rear sprocket after hit - ting a rock. The resulting thrown chain and trying to straighten the sprocket on the trail cost too much ground to regain and he had to settle for fifth in class, though he still leads the points chase with 136 while DJ Weber, the day's Pro 250 runner-up, has 114. Maxima/ Precision Concepts/ FXR KX250X-mounted Fullerton said, "Honestly, I got such a bad start that I was just picking people off left and right. I had to keep asking what position I was in because I was so far back, I had no clue. "I caught up and I think Sam was leading and DJ was second. It was so hard to tell with the dust and everything, but from what I could tell, Sam had tipped over, and his chain came off, so he was playing with his chain. Then, just after that, DJ tipped over, and I went by him." Fullerton beat Weber and his Ride Shop/ Moto Master/ Troy Lee Designs 250 XC to the finish by just under six minutes while Alex Trapp aboard his Cricket Speakers/ AEO/ Moose Racing 250 XC claimed third Pro 250 and ninth overall, five minutes further back. JCR Honda-sup - ported Nolan Cate rounded out the top 10 overall and was fourth Pro 250. Nevada's own Kyle Tichenor made his first start of the season a winning one in taking the Pro Vet 35+ victory on his J.D. Concrete/ Ogio/ Scott YZ450FX by nearly 14 minutes over class points leader Jason Gibbons with DC Racing Kawasaki's Mike Jensen third. It appeared Rachel Stout was headed to her fourth Pro Women triumph of the season, but a broken chain with a few miles to go handed that top spot to a surprised Ty Woolslayer and her Woolslayer Racing/ Nitro Mousse/ Pure Adrenaline YZ250FX. Having dumped it several times, Woolslayer proved that it's never over 'til it's over. Beta-backed Britney Gallegos took second while Stout man - aged to eventually get to the fin- ish for third. InnTeck KTM rider Stout remains the points leader over Woolslayer, 132-126, with Gallegos third at 101. Mark Kariya OVERALL 1. Zane Roberts (Bet) 2. Preston Campbell (Hon) 3. Giacomo Redondi (GG) 4.

Nolan Cate (Hon) WIND IN THE P40 Multiple early spills put Ty Woolslayer far back, but she clawed her way back towards the front, and when a broken chain a few miles from the finish stopped leader Rachel Stout, Woolslayer went on to take her second Pro Women win of the season.
