opening laps, Tomac moved
into third and later attempted
to challenge Hunter for second.
He couldn't break the Aussie
duo out front in either moto, as
a fifth-place start in race two
forced him to play catch-up. Still,
Tomac's energy looked back to
normal as he finished third for
the day and moved up to third in
the championship standings.
"It was a solid day for us here
at Unadilla," Tomac said. "As

Two second-place finishes put
him solidly in second place for
the day as Jett secured the title.
Barring anything catastrophic
at the season finale, Hunter
will finish second in the series,
marking a historic first-time 1-2
finish for brothers in an overall
championship.
"I've always considered my

self as a top contender, so it's
