"I didn't get the greatest start
and that Pro section was super
dusty, but I kept plugging away,"
said Yorba. "It's a bummer what
happened to Gary's bike, but I'm
happy with the finish. I'm glad to
be progressing back to where I
was before my back injury. I had
a good battle with Justin Seeds,
Robby and Gary. It was a fun
race."
Sutherlin managed to ride out
the last three laps of the race and
finish third.
"I got around Robby, put the
hammer down and gapped those
guys," said Sutherlin. "I stayed
with Taylor for a few laps and then
pitted. Once I left the pits, I no-
ticed a noise in the back end and
my caliper fell off. So I had to ride
the last three laps with no rear
brakes. I really salvaged a podium
today. It's been rough this year. I
just can't catch a break, but we'll
be good for Glen Helen."
Justin Seeds was fourth at the
finish after running as far back as
eighth at one point in the race.
"I had some issues with some
trees in the Pro section and I
just couldn't find my groove,"
said Seeds. "I actually fell back
to eighth at one point and then I
pitted. From there, I decided to
see what I could salvage from
this. I'll take a fourth; I only lose
two points in the championship
behind Gary. I will keep focusing
on the championship and hope-
fully we'll get another win."
