where they also collected Geico
Honda's Christian Craig.
Once they got up, Osborne
circulated slowly, and was
forced to pit to have his front
wheel, that was damaged in the
crash, changed out, putting him
way, way behind the lead group.
Osborne would eventually finish
a disastrous (for him)18th place.
Out front, Monster Energy/
Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Adam
Cianciarulo snatched the
early lead in front of fast qualifier
Dylan Ferrandis (Yamalube Star
Racing Yamaha), Cianciarulo's
teammate Joey Savatgy, Smith
and Ferrandis' teammate Mitch-
ell Harrison.
Ferrandis put the pressure
on Cianciarulo early and nearly
went by on the opening lap.
On lap two, Ferrandis pushed
Cianciarulo wide past the me-
chanics' area, but lost his drive
into the ensuing rhythm section,
allowing Savatgy to get a run on
them. Ferrandis took the lead
just in front of Savatgy, but only
one turn later Cianciarulo came
back in on Ferrandis after the
finish line and pushed him wide,
(Left) Joey Savatgy grabbed second
place and now enjoys a healthy
points lead. (Above) This first-turn
pileup might have cost Zach Osborne
(16) the 250SX East Championship.
