"The last two races, I struggled with some health issues where I wasn't feeling 100 percent, so to come here stronger was all I wanted. I had a good start position thanks to my Forest Race win yesterday, and I got the holeshot this morning, which was pretty important, so I man - aged to pull a gap straight away without pushing too crazy. I got into a good flow early on and focused on saving my tire and kept building on my lead every checkpoint. I was really stoked to see the finish flag first and take the win today!"
