narrow margin at the line every
lap. On lap 10 Wells grabbed
the lead with Avery and Bromley
following by. Just as quickly one
lap later, Carlile was back up
front, not to be headed the rest
of the way.
On the last lap, Wells tried
one more time going into turn
three and came ever so close to
pulling off the pass only to slip
just wide. He was left to try and
draft his way back to the front
from turn four to the finish line.
Carlile still had his hands full
as he was surrounded by Price
and Bromley, with Wells, Avery
and Janisch all going for the win.
The top six, Carlile, Price, Brom-
ley, Wells, Avery and Janisch
would finish within a half-second
of each other.
Way back in seventh (1.8
seconds back) was Shayna
Texter (Husqvarna FC 450).
Kevin Stollings was another two
seconds back. CN
Injuries and bike prob-
lems had thus far derailed
his goal of just winning
races, but that would all
end today, as the cham-
pion notched the second
win of his career. "The
year started off so slow,
breaking my shoulder
in Daytona and racing
through injury while trying
to figure the bike out the
best we can. Me and my
mechanic [Andrew Butler]
and the whole Estenson Racing
team worked so hard this week.
We were at the dyno three days
straight! We've got a bullet, and
I can't thank everyone enough.
That race was great. Everyone
was clean, and we had some
good draft passes. I'm sure the
fans loved it."
The lap chart does not do
the race justice. Carlile got
the holeshot in the 15-lap race
over a thundering herd made
up of Ryan Wells (Richie Morris
Racing/Al Lamb Honda, Honda
CRF450R), Dan Bromley (KTM
North America/Bromley Motor-
sports, KTM 450 SX-F), Jesse
Janisch (Roof Systems/West
Bend Harley-Davidson, Yamaha
YZ450F0 and Honda riders
Brandon Price, Tristan Avery,
Jordan Harris, Kevin Stollings
and Beau Thompson were all
fighting to challenge Carlile.
While that battle was being
waged Carlile would hold a very
Carlile is now the sixth
different winner—in six
races—in the Singles class.
