felt okay other than my stomach
cramping. I had a crash and
Duvall got away, so I felt like I
had just blown it right there. I
caught up to Duvall and saw he
was picking himself up, too. I
suffered the entire last lap and
I'm not really happy with today.
We need to go back to the
drawing board and make some
changes."
"I threw away the win," Duvall
said. "I had a comfortable lead
on Russell coming into the white
flag. I crashed so hard I'm not
even sure what happened," said
Duvall.
Steward Baylor (SRT KTM),
second in the championship,
ended up third on the day after
getting a terrible start. His bike
was slow to fire on the dead-
engine start and ended up giving
the field a 30-second head start.
For the rest of the race, Baylor
charged through the pack. He
was seventh after the first lap,
fifth after lap two, fourth after lap
three, third after lap four, and
that's were he would stay for
the rest of the race. He eventu-
ally took the checkered flag
one minute and eight seconds
behind Duvall.
Fourth place went to Beta's
Jordan Ashburn who started in
fourth and pretty much stayed
there the whole race, except for
one brief period when he ran
fifth.
Trevor Bollinger, on the JCR
Honda, was fifth overall, cross-
ing the finish line about two and
a half minutes behind Ashburn.
(Above) Thad Duvall finished a little worse for wear but might've won had
he not crashed late in the race. He still nabbed second. (Below) Josh Toth
continues to tear it up in the XC2 250 Pro (16-24) class.
