>> Jace Kessler sprinted out to an early advantage as he piloted his Husqvarna machine to the holeshot ahead of Kaeden Amerine. Kessler incessantly put time into the KTM in tow, barely eking out small advantages throughout the lap. Branden Walther rode with immense passion just behind
the two of them, giving it everything that he had in order to stay within touching distance of the lead battle. Walther set his fastest lap time in his attempt to track down the leaders, but the initial gap was a little too much to overcome. Amer- ine seemed to find another gear as the leading trio took the white flag in preparation for the final lap. The Ride’s Unlim- ited rider put in the fastest lap of the race on the final lap as he brought the race down to a photo finish, the two of them hung over the edge of their rear fenders on the drag to the line, but Kessler was able to claim the checkered flag first.
