class, passing Red Bear Rocky
Mountain Kawasaki's Rachael
Archer on the final lap to do so.
"I really was struggling today
with the lappers and kept telling
myself to reset and regroup,"
Steede said. "Those last two
laps I finally started to find my
flow and managed to start tak
-
ing some time off. I had a pit
board going into the last lap that
Archer was 15 or 20 seconds
ahead of me. I rode my ass off
and made a pass with a mile to
go to get the win. It feels good
to get my first win off my shoul
-
ders, and I just need to get ready
for the next one and hopefully
keep the ball rolling."
