>> Justin Hill has had an identical start to his 2017 season has he did last year. Going fifth at round one, second at round two, and first at round three. A good start to the sea- son for the Monster Energy Pro Circuit rider. The #46 of Hill started the night of incredibly well qualifying into the night show in a comfortable and confident second place, Hill had all the tools he needed to do well through the night. He rode a very smooth heat race rounding it out in third place mov- ing right into the main event. The big show of the night went just as any rider would have hope for, for Justin Hill. He was around third place out of the gate, an awesome start, Hill was ready to make his moves. Getting the start he needed he pulled the trigger and put himself out front before the first lap was even over. Never looking back the Monster Energy Pro Circuit rider instantly pulled away from the bunch includ- ing the points leader Shane Mcelrath. Riding a flawless race Josh Hill was able to get his third career win. He was able to gain a couple points on the current points leader; Hill still sits back in third for the championship race seven points back. Hopefully this is just the beginning for the young Kawasaki rider.
