FOR THE CUP
Lesher continued to lead and was able to maintain a multiple-second advantage throughout the 15-lap Main Event. Williamson continued his charge forward and engaged in a battle with Sayles for second with just a handful of laps remaining. Williamson successfully made the pass on Lap 10. Lesher went on to take the win 2.2 seconds ahead of Williamson, while Sayles soldiered home to third, just ahead of his championship rival, Team Babbitt’s/GPF/Monster Energy Kawasaki/MMCR rider Ryan Breece. Sayles’ slim margin over Breece in the Western Regional Championship standings sits at just two points with two rounds of racing remaining. Lesher’s
win helped him gain valuable ground on both riders in third, now just five points out of the lead, setting the stage for a thrilling three-rider battle to the finish.
