VOL. 52 ISSUE 20 MAY 19, 2015 P61 Baggett coming in the second moto. Baggett's 4-6 gave him fifth overall. PEICK STEPS UP Finishing between Anderson and Baggett in fourth overall was AutoTrader.com/Toyota/JGRMX Yamaha's Weston Peick who had one of the best rides of his career. Peick, who days earlier had his contract with the team extended through 2016, went from third to eighth in the first moto then seventh to third in the second moto, passing teammate Justin Barcia straight up along the way, which you know prob- ably didn't sit well with the team's star rider. This could be the start of something interesting down the road. Barcia, however, did have his moments.

He put in two solid rides, going 6-8 in both motos for sixth overall.

HRC Honda's Cole Seely had a terrible start to his rookie sea- son in the 450 class. He was left on the ground in the second turn of the first moto and was slow to his feet. He never returned. The team reported that he smacked his head in the fall and injured his leg. "That took me out and it wasn't going to be smart of me to line up for moto two," Seely later said. "I'm healthy and will be ready to line up at Glen Hel- en. We'll try again next week." >>250 NATIONAL SEASON-LONG SHOOTOUT The 250 class in the outdoors is like a 250 East/West Shoot- out in Supercross that lasts all
