HIGH POINT RACEWAY/MT. MORRIS, PENNSYLVANIA
P54
advantage of a slip by Dungey on
lap 12 to take the spot for good.
Roczen's 2-3 was good
enough for second overall, al-
though Stewart gained a bit
of ground on him in the series
standings.
"I'll take a second," said Roc-
zen. "I was happy with my rid-
ing in the first moto, but I actu-
ally made a few mistakes. I just
kind of made it tough on myself
and didn't get good starts, but I
bounced back in that first moto
and got second. I was hoping for
a good start in the second moto,
but it just wasn't there."
Lappers were a big concern in
moto two, and Roczen felt like it
hurt his chances of catching Ca-
nard.
"I was riding good in that sec-
ond moto, and about three-quar-
ter into the race I started push-
ing again," said Roczen. "I got a
little bit held up; I don't know how
many times I could have dumped
that double in the bottom but lap-
pers got in the way. There was a
gap between me and the guys in
front of me, but I could close that
quickly and I felt like I could make
a move and take off."
With four rounds in the books,
Roczen leads the standings with
183 points, compared to 167 for
Dungey and 161 for Stewart.
"I'm still happy with how every-
thing is," said Roczen. "It's about
keeping it consistent right now
for me; not too high, not too low."
Dungey In The Hunt
Ryan Dungey was in the hunt all
day at High Point but gave way
to his teammate Roczen near
the end of both motos. Dungey
pushed Canard in moto one,
but a mistake let Roczen go by
before the end of the race. The
same thing happened in moto
two where Dungey spent most
of the race in third not far behind
Canard, only to tip over and give
the spot to Roczen. Other than
the opener at Glen Helen, Dung-
ey has been unable to get the
better of his teammate and right
now, Roczen seems to be gain-
ing momentum.
Fighting The Bug
Josh Grant has consistently been
at the back edge of the front-run-
Dungey chases fast starter Chad
Reed, who enjoyed his best
performance so far this season.
