>> After finishing 17th in last week’s race at Arlington Blake came to Minneapolis looking for redemption. As always the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC rider started the day off with a solid 12th position for qualifying. Feeling confident, Baggett went into the first heat race with a 6th place gate pick. The gate drops and the KTM rider powers his way through the pack to- wards the front. Battling with Friese, Baggett takes the pass and lands in 4th place to finish off his heat race. He wins the last golden ticket to the main event. With a mediocre start Blake battles his way through the pack gaining position after position. Passing Stewart, the KTM rider battles with Alessi then eventually falls behind Mike. Still fighting to catch Alessi, Baggett finally makes the pass into 9th position. Charging hard the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC rider stands his ground
as he holds on to 9th place. Breaking his bad luck from last week Baggett crosses the finish line in 9th place.
