the whole way for a 10-second-
plus margin and morale-boosting
victory over Dungey. Unfortu-
nately, he still trails Dungey by
37 points in the championship
with seven rounds and 14 motos
remaining on the schedule. Roc-
zen has a little extra time to savor
the win, since the championship
takes its first break of the season
before resuming a week later
at Budds Creek. The break will
also give Roczen's still-healing
back more time to heal.
"I am so stoked to finally get
an overall," said Roczen. "The
track was a little tricky so you
had to stay on it. I love racing
and it's good to go into an off
weekend with a win and have the
motivation to get even stronger.
It's a bummer we didn't gain any
points, but we're taking it step by

The Arenacross specialist planned to try something a little
different by riding the small-bore at a few select rounds, the
High Point National being the first. Steinke pinned his Thermo-
tec-backed Yamaha YZ125 to 32nd place in qualifying, good
enough to get into the National, much to the delight of the
many two-stroke fans in attendance.
Jeremy White of Thermotec offered Steinke his personal
2014 YZ125, and they had it tuned by DH1 Mods.
After qualifying, he said, "I don't ride too many nationals,
and this is actually my best qualifying position ever, on a 125!"
Steinke is no stranger to two-strokes and rides a 125 quite a bit. Fans around
the track cheered him on the entire time. Steinke finished an impressive 27th
overall—all in the name of fun.
Gared Steinke and his YZ125
