ENDUROCROSS GEICO AMA ENDUROCROSS SERIES ROUND 2 / MARCH 21, 2015 ENERGY SOLUTIONS ARENA / SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH P84 eryone else came up on us and their bikes were on my legs. I did get going in almost dead last. I had to get really aggressive and do what I could do to get by people. I got right up there to third and got hung-up with a lapper and went down and back to fifth. I managed to get back into fourth." Gerston was super happy to get on the podium. "I'm feeling like a million bucks," he said. "It feels so good and it feels like this is where I belong. I've been working so, so hard during the week. My DA8 Training has been taking me to another level and I eat, breathe, sleep Enduro- Cross. Hopefully this is a start of a big thing. I really have so much fun out here racing and am very fortunate to be here." With his win, Brown puts himself squarely in contention for the 2015 Championship—even after finishing out of the top five at round one in Daytona and he now solely owns third place on the all-time AMA EnduroCross wins list. Colton Haaker and Cody Webb share the points lead with Brown only two points behind. Max Gerston has two top-five finishes on the year for fourth in the standings, nine points back of the lead. New Factory Beta racer Kyle Red- mond holds down fifth place in the points after a rough eighth place. Redmond is 11 points out of the lead. After the main event win it's safe to say Brown and his Rockstar /FMF/Factory Racing Husqvarna team have hit their stride. Once you add in Haaker and his two second-place finish- es in as many races, and Sandra Gomez' Women's Class win, it's clear that the Husky brand has some hefty momentum. CN MAIN 1.

Canadian Cory Graffunder kept it in the top-five for the second race in a row.
