BLOUNTVILLE, TENNESSEE / MUDDY CREEK RACEWAY
P72
point, Webb caught fire. First,
he passed Forkner for fourth,
then got Smith only a lap later for
third. From lap 10 to the finish on
lap 18, Webb never left the 1:58
lap-time range. His lap times ac-
tually dropped into the 1:56/1:57
range on a handful of the final
eight laps while the two lead-
ers—McElrath out front and Alex
Martin in second—had lap times
rear wheel, but Savatgy was able
to get around Forkner for fourth
on lap six and began making
up time on Smith in third while
Webb struggled to find a way by
the Kawasaki rookie.
Then Webb got a gift. Sa-
vatgy went down a second time,
but this time remounted with a
slightly twisted Kawasaki back in
ninth place. Around the halfway
remounted much farther back.
"I really want to say sorry to
Adam," Webb said after the race.
"I honestly didn't mean to get into
him like that. I thought he was go-
ing to go the berm, so I apologize
man. Hope he's all right."
With Webb then in line behind
Savatgy and Savatgy's rookie
teammate Austin Forkner, Webb
tried to just stick to Savatgy's
Shane McElrath
had his best ride
of the season. He
led much of the
second 250MX
moto and ended
up on the podium.
