season, leading every lap in the
process, his 2-1 performance giv-
ing him the overall win.
"It's good to get a win and to get
out front and lead every lap," said
Dungey. "I know Ken has a little bit
of a lead in the standings, and we
didn't gain any points today, so it's
going to take more than swapping
motos, but I think we're going in a
better direction and we know what
we've got to do."
Trying to explain the differ-
ence between his performance
in Maryland versus the one last
week at RedBud, Dungey said it
was mostly suspension changes.
"Last week at RedBud was
definitely a little bit of a struggle,
and it was kind of my fault," said
Dungey. "Before that race, we
left Florida with some suspen-
sion changes – just some clicker
adjustments. When I raced the
bike at RedBud I kind of fought
things a little. That was a tough
track and I realized I needed to
make a change, and so I was
kind of sick of making these small
suspension adjustments, so this
week I decided to make an ex-
treme change and I think that re-
ally helped this weekend. We fine
tuned it after practice and that
made it even better."
Roczen Still Happy
For Roczen, the first moto played
out much like the last few — with
the German rider moving quickly
to the front and then holding on
for a win. Moto two, however,
didn't quite go that way. This time,
he was unable to reel in Dungey.
Still, Roczen says he's happy
with how things are going and
if Budds Creek is the worst he
does all year then he thinks that
things are right on track for him.
"Not every moto can be awe-
some," said Roczen. "I feel I've
been going at a consistent pace
the last few races. But in the
second moto, after the first lap, I
stuck my foot in the ground and I
hit something right on the inside of
my knee and it hurt really bad. That
took my breath away for a couple
of laps and that allowed Ryan to
get quite a good gap on me.
"I struggled on some parts of
the track," said Roczen. "It took
some patience to ride this track
and you had to be smart, and to-
This time, Ken Roczen (94) couldn't
hold off his teammate Dungey (5),
but no damage was done in the
championship for the points leader.
