BATTLE FOR THE CUP
Events, taking the checkered flag two seconds ahead of Faith. Owen rode to another strong third-place performance, with his teammate Lamay in fourth and Woodstock KTM’s Daniel Herrlein in fifth. The overall podium classification was as orderly as it comes, with Blose (1-1), Faith (2-2) and Owen (3-3) posting identical finishes. Lamay landed fourth overall (5-4), while Williamson rounded out the top five (4-7). Blose became the third different winner in the Race to the Ricky Carmichael Cup, joining Faith and Owen. Faith remains the championship leader with his runner-up effort, and now holds an eight- point lead over Blose, who surpassed Owen in the standings thanks to scoring the maximum number of points. Owen is just nine points out of the lead in third. The Western Regional AX Lites Class Main Event got underway with Sportland 2/TZR/Kawasaki Team Green’s Scott Zont out front early ahead
of Lesher, but Lesher seized control of the lead on the opening lap and proceeded to control the Main Event from there on out. Behind him, Zont faced heavy pressure from championship leader Hunter Sayles, who put his Woodstock KTM into second on Lap 2. The battle for the podium continued for Zont just a couple laps later when Team Babbitt’s/GPF/Monster Energy Kawasaki/MMCR’s Jacob
Williamson fought his way into third on Lap 5 after starting fifth.
