WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP VOL. 53 ISSUE 8 MARCH 1, 2016 P49 that I wouldn't be in the way…I wouldn't try to be in the way. "I've been on the other side with lappers and such, so I know how it feels for somebody to not get out of your way. I like Mar- vin and have no reason to help Ryan win the race and have me be the problem. It sucks that it went down like that, but I'd do it again a hundred times in a row, because I didn't feel like I was doing anything wrong." Musquin said, "When we caught up to James Stewart, who was a lap down, I revved my bike when I got close to him before the finish line, but he kind of stayed in the way. Then he turned really tight in the left turn, kind of to let me by on the outside. I went for the triple like every lap, and I was missing a little bit of speed out of the turn. I think he just wanted to keep the same speed and let me by, but a little later on the racetrack. I still went for the triple because Ryan was behind him, but I made a big mistake and Stewart was doing another triple, and I thought he was going to land on me, so I switched lines. I don't know how I didn't crash. I hit my chest, feet off the pegs, and it was sketchy. I went off the track and I'm glad I saved it and I was glad I was not on the ground. I knew Chad was behind, but not that close to us, so I knew I would still get second. "Second is a great result for me right now, but tonight should have been a win," said Mus- quin. CN
