Dustin Crow (Greg Crow Rac-
ing/Wiebler's Harley-Davidson)
and Bronson Bauman (Rod lake
Racingv/Nazzisi Racing) all
eliminated.
Wiles picked up where he
left off with Mees settling into
second over Kennedy Racing/
Armbruster Racing's Brandon
Robinson and Zanotti Racing's
Jake Johnson.
"There are a lot of nooks and
crannies out there," said Wiles.
"To be able to do things that
right to where you are just going
away, that's a lot of fun. After the
red flag I rode a little bit more
appropriately. I didn't back off a
whole lot, but definitely I knew
that I didn't have to go as hard as
I was. I said, 'okay, just do a few
little things right,' and there were
a couple spots that I kept trying
to get better in. I knew if I could
get better in those little spots,
that would just make my life
easier and I wouldn't have to ride
so hard. It worked out great."
Wiles' lead continued to grow
GNC1 presented by Vance &
Hines title chase. Points leader
coming into the race, Crosley
Brand/T&T Construction's Bryan
Smith had been battling over
eighth place when the red lights
stopped the race.
On the restart a three-rider
pileup occurred in turn one,
with Smith right in the middle
of it. The race continued on
non-stop with Smith along with
(Below) Jared Mees (1) battled
Jake Johnson for the remaining
podium spots. Mees came out on
top by less than a second.
