lifted the front wheel and ended
up falling off the side of the
track. I panicked a little and then

ended up having a huge crash
shortly afterwards.
"My bike hit a marshal and that
shook me up a lot, thankfully she
was okay when I checked on her

through and Webb carded his
second win of the night.
Cody Webb was cruising to victory until a crash-filled third main event.
