"Sufferfest last night in Arling-
ton," Roczen said the next day
via social media. He revealed
he
was feeling under the weather
on race day. "I got progres-
sively more ill as the weekend
neared. I did
everything I could
to have a good night, and I am
happy with the effort that I put
in. I barely had 15 minutes in
me, but I would have been out
of breath walking up a flight of
stairs. Anyways, I salvaged what
I could, and I still believe it was
a good night for us. Starts were
good, racing was good, but I had
no extra to give by any means.
I'm going to get healthy this
week, and I am looking forward
to going to Daytona."
Justin Cooper rounded out
the top five ahead of Chase
Sexton, Joey Savatgy, Aaron
Plessinger, Christian Craig and
Dylan Ferrandis.

exciting main event, which saw
him lead most of the race by
less than a second.
