AMERICAN FLAT TRACK SERIES
ROUND 9 / JUNE 16, 2018
REMINGTON PARK / OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
P84
Kolby Carlile (Estenson Racing Yamaha
YZ450F) and Jesse Janisch (Roof Systems
Yamaha YZ450F) were dueling over fourth
with Whale and Cory Texter hanging on,
too. Janisch fell victim to a mechanical
problem on lap 10, leaving Carlile, Whale
and Cory Texter in as tight a race for fourth
as the three leaders were having for first.
Bromley held the lead at the white flag,
but appeared to be vulnerable to a draft
pass at the finish line. Texter and Wells
were looking to position themselves for
the final push when Wells caught a rut and
bounced off of Shayna. The contact ruined
both riders' shot at the win.
Wells was able to hold onto second by
0.12 of a second. A little over three sec-
fought it out for second.
AFT Singles points leader Dan Bromley
(KTM North America/Bromley Motors-
ports KTM 450 SX-F) wasn't able to take
advantage of his front-row start and was
back in seventh place, but quickly came to
the front. "At the start I was way back in the
pack. I couldn't see anything coming off
the front straightaway," said Bromley. "But I
knew if I put my head down and just held it
wide open around the outside I could catch
up to them. Thankfully enough, everyone
was riding down low, and I found a real nice
line up around the top."
Bromley and Shayna Texter teamed up
to run Wells down and a three-rider battle
was on. Defending AFT Singles champion
Mees won by a mile. Henry
Wiles (17) was the closest
rider to Mees at the finish,
but, as you can see, he
wasn't that close.
