BATTLE FOR THE CUP
On the ensuing lap Faith disposed of Owen and slotted into second, with less than a second sitting between he and Blose. The Kawasaki rider stalked Blose for several laps and pulled the trigger on Lap 7, passing Blose in the whoops and immediately opening a lead of over a second before the completion of the lap. Once out front, Faith continued to add to his lead and took the checkered flag just over
four seconds ahead of Blose, further padding his points lead. Owen was third, followed by Lamay and Team Babbitt’s/GPF/Monster Energy Kawasaki/MMCR’s Jacob Williamson. When the gate dropped on the second Main Event, Faith once again seized control and put his Kawasaki at the front of the field, closely followed by Blose and Owen. Faith didn’t quite have the pace of the first Main Event and gave up the lead to Owen on Lap 1, bringing Blose along with him into second and dropping Faith into third. In his chase of the lead Blose encountered misfortune, losing control of his Yamaha and flipping over the bars on Lap 2, which effectively ended his title hopes. That allowed Faith to move into second, while Lamay jumped into third.
