P66
47 LEVI KITCHEN
9TH 250SX EAST
Levi Kitchen, a preseason favor-
ite, didn't have a great start to the
season. Slated to ride the West
Championship, a health issue moved
him to the East Championship. "The
time off helped give me a break, and I
feel much better now, although today
could have gone a little bit differently
for me. Qualifying wasn't great, but
it wasn't bad. In the heat race, I had
to make a quick stop in the mechan-
ics' area with a bike issue, and that
set me up for a poor gate pick. I did
not execute my start in the main, and
then I crashed in the sand section, so
I was quite a ways back. I just tried
to make do with what I had. I'm not
happy with my performance."
83 AUSTIN FORKNER
17TH 250SX EAST
Austin Forkner made his debut ride
on the Triumph but crashed and later
finished 17th. "I woke up this morning
with some sort of sickness," he said.
"Every single time I got on the track,
I was better, which is positive. I was
in seventh in the main and satisfied. I
made one little mistake in the sand, and
then someone ran it up the inside of me
MYOWNRACE
Stewart made up
crucial time all night
in the whoop section.
