From there I went as fast as I could. This was one of the best tracks this season." Kepple is an endurocross specialist and he particularly enjoyed the tighter sections of the course. After earning his first Pro 2 podium, Kepple is looking forward to returning to WORCS after the summer break. Oliveira had a rare instance of bad luck here. Despite the issue, he recovered to finish third. Oliveira has finished on the podium in every race this season, and has four victories. Despite his misfortune here, Oliveira enjoyed the unique Glen Helen track. In Pro 2 Lights, Austin Serpa made it look easy on his KTM. After starting third, he took the lead at the end of the first lap and was never seriously chal- lenged from there. It marked his third victory of the season. Chance Fullerton was second, ahead of Cooper Abbott's Ya- maha. Harlen Foley PRO 1. Taylor Robert (KTM) 2. Trevor Stewart (Hon) 3. Blayne Thompson (Hon) 4. Robby Bell (Kaw) 5.
