ton (Short's teammate) in the
semi-final. The competition
got tougher in each round, but

Stewart's little brother, Mal-
colm, though, was immedi-

Malcolm said. "That's the only

SATURDAY
With a drag-racing-style bracket
set for the head-to-head races
on Saturday, the faster a racer
qualified on Friday, the easier
his earlier races were set to be.
Number-one qualifier Roczen
faced off against 16th-qualifier
Tevin Tapia in round one, then
faced ninth-qualifier Andrew
Malcolm Stewart's winning run.
Roczen and Kevin Tapia leap off the unique start jump.
