>> Nate Thrasher put his Seven MX backed KTM out in the lead early on as he held an advantage ahead of Kaeden Amerine and Jace Kessler. Thrasher continued to stretch out his lead over the course of the first flying lap as the action
on track heated up behind him. Kessler was able to put his Husqvarna ahead of Amerine’s Rides Unlimited KTM, rel- egating him back to 3rd. The Tennessee native in the lead was undoubtedly the fastest rider on the track; he was able to pull away from the field with absolutely no challenge from any of his competitors. He turned the fastest laps of the race, one after another, setting himself up for an easy cruise to the finish on the white flag lap. Amerine was able to keep Kes- sler in check, but it would be a tall task to remount a chal- lenge for 2nd place. The MTF backed rider of Thrasher had no issues on his final lap and he secured the overall victory with 2-1 moto finishes ahead of Kessler and Amerine.
