Defending Grand National Champion Jared
Mees pushed his Las Vegas Harley-Davidson/
Rogers Racing-backed XR750 into turn one first
with fellow Harley-Davidson riders Kenny Cool-
beth and Brad Baker right behind.
"We got the holeshot and I was just waiting
for Bryan [Smith] or somebody to come up the
inside of me and just start dicing," said Mees. "I
just started hitting my marks."
Mechanical problems hit the Zanotti Rac-
ing/Harley-Davidson Motor Company-backed
Coolbeth first as his race lasted just three laps.
