Kyle Redmond was once again ab-

a row after suffering a concussion at
the Denver round.

season for Dietrich, who also raced
the Las Vegas opener and the Sacra-

Games in Austin, Texas, and both
riders made it into the main event in
Washington.
DA8 Training Facility star student
Cooper Abbott is coming along
