for fifth. Kyle Redmond rode
his SRT Husqvarna to eighth.
GasGas-backed Noah Kepple
finished ninth after a terrible
start. Wally Palmer rounded out
the top 10 on his SRT-backed
KTM.

lead over Haaker (101 to 91) with
three events remaining. Hart

fifth at 66 points. CN
to take second back on the final
turn.
Cory Graffunder put in his
best result of the season to take
fourth position despite com-
pleting lap one in 14th. The tall
Canadian thrives on tough tracks
and this one fit the bill. Ty Tre-
maine rounded out the top five
on his RPM KTM and he, too,
had to recover from a bad first
lap that saw him in 11th.
Beta's Max Gerston finished
sixth while riding with some
injuries sustained in a crash
just four weeks earlier. Cooper
Hart led the two laps and then
Webb worked his way past both
Segura and Hart on lap three to
take the lead. Webb and Hart
both took the joker lane early in
the race and held onto the top
two spots. This allowed Webb
to ride off to his third win of the
season.
Hart held second until Haaker
passed him on lap 11, but Haaker
had not yet taken the joker lane,
setting up a tense final three
laps. Haaker waited until the
last lap to take the joker lane
and Hart stayed close enough
Haaker and Webb
faced off again in the
bracket race final
where Webb came
out on top.
