dove under Rapp entering turn
one on lap four of seven.
Rapp's race would end mo-
ments later, as he crashed while
surrounded by the lead pack. His
fall forced Josh Chisum Racing/
Bartels H-D's O'Hara wide in the
process, which left Eslick, Wyman,
and Carlson in a three-man fight for
the win - or so it seemed.
O'Hara, who came into Road
America extra sharp following his
experience riding a Superbike
during the Superbike Shootout,
stormed back into contention
from 3.5 seconds back. The four
were back in tight formation by
the race's final lap when Wyman
registered the contest's decisive
maneuvers.
"I was seeing red, basically,"
Wyman said. "I had a lot of time
to think about Daytona. So far I'm
two-for-two on crossing the line
first, so I'll take that. Hopefully,
this one stands. I'm really happy
to have redeemed myself in that
fashion. It was a pretty fun race. A
lot of crashing - well, one crash,
but it was a lot of crashing for that
one crash. There was a lot go-
ing on. Steve [Rapp] really hit the
deck hard. I'm just really happy to
get up here for Millennium Tech-
nologies at their home race, and
to redeem myself from Daytona,
and get maximum points."
Carlson went from first to
fourth back to third on the final
lap, crossing the stripe .157 of
a second off the win and .165
ahead of O'Hara to earn his sec-
ond-consecutive podium result at
his home race.
