P108
AVERY SCORES
Du Quoin's GNC2 main event came
down to a last lap battle between ris-
ing stars Davis Fisher, Tristan Avery
and J.R. Addison. All three fought for
the win and were separated by the
slimmest of margins on the race's final
laps. At the checkered flag it was Av-
ery, riding the number-16S Ron Ayers
Motorsports Kawasaki, who came
away with his first career win in front of
Fisher, the GNC2 points leader.
The top five finishers were all Kawa-
saki mounted.
"I was just giving it my best effort
out there and was trying to be the
number one guy at the end," said
Avery, who nearly low-sided at one
point in turn one while chasing Fisher.
"I couldn't be more proud of my team,
my family and everyone who has
helped me get to where I am. My team
put in tremendous work on the bike
and got it working great. I can't thank
them enough, and this win is a dream
come true for me. It feels amazing to
finally get this win."
Fisher, riding the number-67M
Parkinson Brothers Racing Kawasaki,
was leading for most of the race be-
fore he let Avery pass him in turn two
on lap 10. Fisher took the lead back
when Avery slid up the track in turn
one and fell back to fourth. The AMA
Pro Flat Track rookie steadily climbed
back to the front in an impressive
display for the youngster.
Although the win slipped away,
Fisher still has an 18-point lead in the
GNC2 point standings over Jamison
Minor on the Roy Built Kawasaki.
Entering Du Quoin fresh off a Lima
Half-Mile win, J.R. Addison proved last
weekend was no fluke as the Smith
The multi-line
track made for
some great racing
between Mees (1),
Coolbeth (2) Brad
Baker (6) and
Smith (42).
