VOL. 52 ISSUE 27 JULY 7, 2015 P97 250 NATIONAL Defending 250 champ Jeremy Martin went into RedBud with a 10-point deficit in the standings, but after a very eventful race, he left town with a seven-point lead, which amounts to a 17-point swing in the title chase. Martin's Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha teammate was perhaps the fastest man on the track, but a crash late in the second moto cost Webb the overall win and opened the door for Martin to take a 1-1 sweep and his fourth overall victory of the season. LaRocco's Leap played a big part in the 250 race, with most of the top riders making the jump only about 50 percent of the time. Former points leader, Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin had both out with injury. The Swed- ish rider collected his best ca- reer finish with a seventh overall, which came less than 24 hours before he is scheduled to marry his fiancé in Ohio, providing Noren with a larger than normal cheering section with family and friends in the States for the oc- casion. Noren bounced back in a big way after last week's 15th-place result, showing off his speed in both motos. In the opening moto, he started outside the top-10 and used most of the moto to make his charge to finish seventh. In moto two, he got a better start and battled the rough and deteriorating track to finish eighth. The 7-8 moto result placed him seventh overall, beat- ing his previous career best of eighth overall. Johns Broc Tickle and Peick finished fourth and fifth, re- spectively, with Tickle making a last-lap pass on the Yamaha rider in the first moto to secure fourth. In the second moto, the two riders would encounter each other again, but this time Peick was able to hold off Tickle to fin- ish sixth. However, Tickle's 4-7 edged Peick's 5-6 in the overall results. Fredrik Noren was Team HRC Honda's sole representative with Cole Seely and Trey Canard
