MYOWNRACE ROUNDS 6-7 / JUNE 27-28, 2025 ALLEN COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS / LIMA, OHIO FLAT TRACK I AMA PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN FLAT TRACK P110 earlier results gave him overall runner-up honors, with Robinson third in the combined tally. Memphis Shades/Corbin/Vin- son's Dan Bromley continued to demonstrate the potential of the lone Suzuki in the field with an overall fourth. Bromley hustled the GSX-8S to finishes of fourth, fourth and fifth, even manag - ing to slice and dice with the leaders in the early laps on more than one occasion. He was followed by Moto Anatomy X Royal Enfield's Max Whale, who earned his com - bined fifth on the strength of a 5-5-7 evening. Bauman responded in Saturday night's Lima HM II, which reverted to the standard evening program. There the RWR ace put it to Dan - iels and the field early, opening up some two seconds on the field in his quest for revenge. Daniels made things interest - ing by systematically reeling both the race and combined victory, thus earning him the maximum 23 championship points available on the night. "Tonight was crazy," Daniels said. It was the first time for this format. Honestly, I was looking forward to it as a rider. I always get super pumped watching the Triple Crown for Supercross. It's just something cool and different. It was a breath of fresh air for us. "But it was definitely tough. They upped the laps for each one, and on the most physically demanding track on the circuit. But it was awesome to go back- to-back at Lima. We've been on a dry spell, and it's felt like for - ever since we won a race. It was good to stop that bleeding." Bauman nursed his Harley around for the final five laps. The five seconds of padding he had built up on Robinson held up all the way up until the race's final corner. Still, Bauman's 70 DECLAN BENDER 8TH (17-10-4) / 4TH SUPERTWINS Following a promising rookie cam- paign in 2024, Declan Bender found himself without a ride in '25. Despite that disappointment, he kept himself in race shape and his phone's ringer on, and following a couple of strong fill-in rides, he got the call to replace Brandon Price for the remainder of the season at On The Box Racing. Bender proved that a smart signing from the jump by battling up inside the top five both nights at Lima. "The day started out a little rough," he said. "We had a mechanical in the first practice. We were fighting it both days, and it's been all over the place. But thankfully, the guys just bust their butts to get me on track with a great bike." Brandon Robinson was the only rider who could keep Daniels and Bauman in sight.
