HE CUP
The Western Regional AX Lites Class Main Event got underway with Haeseker Motors/M21 Suspension Yamaha’s Kinser Endicott grabbing the holeshot over Team Babbitt’s/GPF/Monster Energy Kawasaki/MMCR’s Ryan Breece, the champions leader entering the night, and Lesher. The battle for the lead intensified on the opening laps, with Breece moving out front on Lap 2, bringing Lesher along with him into second and dropping Endicott to third. Breece encountered misfortune while leading on Lap 5, crashing in the whoops but quickly recovering to reenter in third. That allowed Lesher to take control of the Main Event, with Endicott in second. Breece battled back to take second from Endicott on Lap 6 before the Yamaha rider lost even more positions on the ensuing lap to Woodstock KTM’s Hunter Sayles and Husqvarna rider Dylan Summerlin. On Lap 8 Sayles and Breece engaged in a heated battle for second, making contact and forcing Sayles off the track and down to eighth place. That allowed Summerlin to move into third. The battle up front settled for several laps until Breece crashed out of second on Lap 12 and dropped to eighth.
