7 AARON PLESSINGER
DNF 450SX
Aaron Plessinger didn't finish the
main event after connecting with
Dylan Ferrandis on the opening lap.
It took a while for the two to untangle
their bikes. "I got a decent start, but I
think I tried to force the issue a little
too soon and ended up missing the
rear brake jumping into a turn. My
throttle got caught in his rear wheel
and caused some damage, unfortu-
nately ending my night."
32 JUSTIN COOPER
6TH 450SX
Justin Cooper qualified out of the
450SX LCQ before leading the first
six laps of the 450SX main event.
"It was a rollercoaster of emo-
tions tonight," Cooper said. "I was
pretty down after the heat race and
I, straight up, couldn't get my mind
right. All the way up to the main, I was
just dwelling on everything too much,
but I was able to lock in for the main
and somehow get the holeshot, which
felt great. It was a great rebound.
Everything was going downhill pretty
fast, so to turn it around, I'm happy
with that."
