VOL. 54 ISSUE 44 NOVEMBER 7, 2017 P39 Graffunder said. "I attribute it to my good riding early in the day that set me up with a good gate pick. That put me ahead of a lot of carnage and let me just click off laps. I did two laps and had a big enough gap to do the No Joke Lane, got that out of the way when I was nice and fresh and made it through there without incident. Then, I kept clicking off laps. I don't want to say it was the easiest race because the track was difficult but, as far as adversity and mak- ing mistakes, it definitely was the easiest I've had. It was clean, start to finish." There was a great battle for third involving Geoff Aaron (Gas- Gas), Cooper Abbott (Yamaha), Trystan Hart (Husqvarna), Max Gerston (Beta) and Ty Tremaine (KTM). The No Joke Lane played a huge part in deciding who gained the point, which ended up being Tremaine; he started off the race way down in the field but finished just a few seconds ahead Hart (Husqvarna). Right behind Hart came Gerston fol- lowed by Aaron and Abbott. "It was not an easy one tonight," said Tremaine. "I've been working hard all year and the beginning of the season has kind of sucked, to be honest. I haven't felt like I'm riding where I'm supposed to." Mason Ottersberg (Yamaha), who held second place at one point early in the race, Kyle Red- mond (Husqvarna) and Ty Cullins (Beta) rounded out the top 10 overall. With one race left on the calendar, Webb holds a comfort- able 32-point lead in the cham- pionship; Haaker is still second while Tremaine has taken over third. He is just nine points ahead of Hart. Tarah Gieger took her first ever Women's EnduroCross main event win coming out on top of a great three-way battle with Shelby Turner and Kacy Martinez. Destry Abbott kept his unde- feated streak alive in the Vet class on his Purvines DA8 Yamaha. PHOTOGRAPHY BY TANNER YEAGER Cory Graffunder prevented Webb from have a perfect night by winning the single lap bracket races.
