the race win. This marked his first win since Thunder Valley one year ago and pushed him to second overall thanks to 9-1 finishes. "It's been way too long of a summer and has taken too long to get a win," Hymas said. "We've been struggling, but the team has stayed behind me every step of the way. This is a perfect exam - ple of never giving up on yourself. Now I can see a light at the end of the tunnel." Levi Kitchen grabbed third overall and took home a massive points haul on the day. The Mon - ster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider found himself on the ground to start the day as he crashed in the first turn of the first moto. "I don't know what happened," Kitchen said about the crash. "I got body-checked by a Star bike. I'm pretty sore, but I'm just thank - ful to be somewhat alright after that. That sucked."

The former race winner came out with a vengeance in moto two and passed from fifth to first in the first five laps. Hymas looked comfortable up front and even fended off Levi Kitchen for "Laying in that hospital bed [with the back injury] I thought maybe [my career] was over," Beaumer said. "I told myself I was going to die trying to come back. Now, I'm here. I didn't make it easy on myself and didn't ride great in that second moto, but we made it happen. All the odds were against me com - ing into the season. I worked my ass off for six months coming into the summer, and when I got back on the bike, I knew I could
