On lap two, Cannon made a
move to try to get around Turner
on the backside of the track, but
Turner fended off the bid. Mean-
while, Stallings, who won Loretta
Lynn's
in 2023, was in her own
battle over third with Nielsen.
On the final lap, Nielsen had
caught up to Cannon and was at
-
tempting to pass for second but
fell in a turn.
At
the finish, Turner was first,
with Cannon, Stallings, Jarvis
and Nielsen rounding out the top
five.
Turner was 1-1 for the overall
win, with Cannon 2-2 in second
and Stallings 4-3 for third.
"This is such a gratifying win,"
said Turner. "Especially after the
long break we just came off of.
I've been working my butt off,
and I'm so happy it shows. So
much work I've put into this. I
went from falling pretty much
every race last year, and now
I'm actually putting everything
together, so it's sick."
Cannon had her struggles in the
second moto but still maintained
second. "I got a flat rear tire in
that second moto," said Cannon.
"It would slide out in the turns. I
had no traction, so that was a bit
sketchy. I just tried to manage. It's
a shame, but I've got a lot of work
to do, so I'm just looking forward
to chipping away."
Meanwhile, Stallings was im
-
pressive, grabbing back-to-back
holeshots
in the second moto
after the red flag.
"I ended up making a mistake
back in the tree section, which
kind of messed me up a little bit,"
said Stallings. "But I made sure
I stayed on second and third the
whole time, so I could capitalize
on a mistake, and then Mikayla
went down and I got third."
