However, that bid ended when
he almost crashed. He recov-

Roof Systems/Vinson
Construc-
tion Honda's Tarren Santero
and
1st Impressions Husqvarna
teammates Chase Saathoff and
Jack Brucks.
The experienced Saathoff put
moves on Porter and Santero in
the race's final two laps to claim
the final podium spot.
"My day was pretty mediocre
really," Saathoff said. "I started

Drane made that strategy
work to the checkered flag, forc

"I
got a good start and led
maybe half a lap," Tadman
said. "And I was riding behind
Tom, and the whole race was
super fun. I had a great time
but, you know, I'm kind of
disappointed to finish second.
I felt good the first half of the
race, but it just doesn't always

line throughout, gained an edge
at the end of the straight by
shifting when few others did,
and immediately countered
whenever Tadman managed to
nudge ahead.
Chase Saathoff was third
in the Singles main.
