6.2 seconds. Losing Dan hit me. I just wanted to go do something, but 6.2 was a little bit of a pipe dream. It was a goal I set, but we weren't even anywhere near that. "But like I said on the podium, I don't want to talk too much about my night. We honored Dan, which I thought was sweet. I loved being part of that even though I never like losing someone. I just like letting their families know they mean a lot to us. So yeah, good day for me racing, but a bet - ter day as a human." "That definitely was a mental main event," Daniels said. "I actu - ally got a good start, but to be honest, before the main, I wasn't exactly licking my chops. I was a little bit nervous just with how the heat race and the [Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge] went. And we made a small change to that Dash, but I didn't feel it was better. But when I got the start, I was like, 'Man, I don't feel like they're running over me,' so I just kept doing what I was doing. I knew Briar was going to be good, and when he came by, I just tried to latch on to him. And when he didn't immediately break away, I was like, 'Alright,' and I just tried to hunker down. I started search - ing around, which I hadn't really been doing all day, and found something that was working. I had that low line in [turns] one and two. I was making up a lot of time, but I would lose it on the exit. So, I pretty much only had one chance, which was to try to park him in the middle of the corner. And I was real close to getting it about perfect." Meanwhile, Bender continued his second-half turnaround. After either failing to make the main or finishing 10th or lower in the first six races of the season, he's now finished ninth or better in the last five, a run that includes a fourth in Nashville and the fifth he added at Williams Grove. American Honda Turner Rac - ing's Trent Lowe scored another sixth, hinting that he might also be finding his form as the season winds down, as he did a year ago before winning in Springfield. Aidan RoosEvans fought his way up from the back of the grid after being taken out in his heat. Fueled by what he termed a "Mario Kart" move on the part of Schaffer's MotorSports/Ryan Varnes Racing's Logan McGrane, RoosEvans won the LCQ and slashed his way up to seventh in the main. The Yamahas of Pro Roofing/ Parker Racing's Chad Cose and G&G Racing's Hunter Bauer came home eighth and ninth, respec - tively, while Moto Anatomy X Royal Enfield's Dalton Gauthier rounded out the top 10. ROUNDS 11 / JULY 11, 2026 WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY / MECHANICSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA FLAT TRACK I AMA PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN FLAT TRACK P108 Chase Saathoff (88) was second in the Singles main and is currently all alone in second place in the championship standings.
