his strong form and dominated
in the first and second motos.
He topped the SuperPole and
claimed the overall victory after a
strong showing in the combined
SuperFinal. Despite Schock's
resurgence in the final SX2 race
where he cruised to victory, McEl-
rath remained the rider to beat
with
1-1-2-1 results. Schock's
performance proved to be the
breakout ride of his WSX season,
improving on his third place from
night one and taking second
on night two. He sits second in
points, 57 markers back from
McElrath. Lopes again proved
to be a contender during round
three. The Brazilian rider strung
together third overall, flip-flopping
spots with teammate Schock
throughout the weekend. Lopes
Schock. Schock managed to
clinch his first career win with
McElrath hot on his heels. The
two battled again in race two and
gapped the field in the process.
A late-race crash for Schock
saw him fall to fifth and spoil
his chance at the night's overall
victory. This crash also allowed
McElrath to easily take the win
in race two. The Honda rider,
and current points leader went
unchallenged in race three and
claimed the overall win in the
process with 2-1-1-1 finishes.
Enzo Lopes never finished off
the box during Saturday night,
which earned him second overall
thanks to his consistent 3-2-3-2
results. Schock still took third on
night one with 1-5-2-3 scores.
On Sunday, McElrath continued
as well. In the final moto, I knew
I could finish behind Ken and still
get second overall, and the track
was gnarly, so I just mailed it in.
I'm ready for a day off to rest and
recover for Abu Dhabi."

In the SX2 250cc class, Shane
McElrath was nearly as dominant
as Tomac, turning in two near-
perfect performances across both
days. The FirePower Honda rider
rode at the top of his game, secur-
ing overall wins on both Saturday
and Sunday.
McElrath's consis-
tency proved key throughout the
weekend, winning three
of four
races on each night.
Saturday night's round two
started with a thrilling first moto
