Josh Toth topped the XC2 250 Pro class.
off the pace. But I just kind of
put my head down and got back
on his rear wheel. I think I can
still make it happen, so I'll just go
home and get ready for the next
round."
Ricky Russell (N-Fab/Am Pro
Yamaha) grabbed his first po-
dium of the season with a third-
place finish, despite suffering a
nasty crash .
"It's been a rough start to the
season but this is a good sign,"
said Russell. "I got a decent
start and I was able to get into
third, but by that time Kailub and
Thad were long gone. About
midway through the race [Trevor]
Bollinger and [Jordan] Ashburn
started putting pressure on me,
but I was able to slowly pull away
again. And then with about three
laps to go, I had a huge crash.
It took a bit to realize I was okay,
and I was able to get collected
and ride home for third."
Bollinger (JCR Honda) and
Steward Baylor (Tely Racing)
also had their share of prob-
lems—Bollinger crashed hard at
one point while Baylor had to pit
when his triple clamp bolts came
loose; however, the two riders
rounded out the top five, with
Bollinger in fourth and Baylor in
fifth.
Josh Toth (FMF KTM) won the
XC2 250 Pro class with a sixth-
place overall finish, while Ben
Kelley (Trail Jesters KTM Rac-
ing) was second in the class and
seventh overall. CN
