I passed Ryder back. I made a

Kitchen was the fastest rider
on track for more than half of
the total laps. A few aggressive
passes late in the race rewarded
him with second place overall,

for the lead.
"I can't be doing that when
Deegan is doing everything

working and keep fighting."
Cameron McAdoo put himself
on the box again in third place,
making it two Monster Energy

podium. McAdoo found himself
in a battle for the entire race,

of the year. McAdoo sits fifth in
points and leads his teammate
Kitchen by one point.
