When Eli got in the lead about five laps to go that's when he really kind of started find- ing a good rhythm. Honestly, I just settled in. We don't ride these rutted conditions very much so they were very tough and technical, not easy by any means. So the last five we just chilled out and rode smart and got through.

There wasn't a smooth line on the track by the end." After getting passed by Tomac and Dungey, Seely settled into a safe third and rode it to the finish.

I just tried to ride a smart race and finish third. I locked down third in the points to- night and third on the night. It's been Joey Savatgy got on the 250 podium.
