finishing, he would put his nose to the grindstone, and yearn for a solid showing. All throughout practice, you could hear his
bike seemingly echoing off of the stadium walls, almost as if he were the loudest machine on the track. Keeping the locomotive
within the ripest portion of power, his throttle response was of pure excellence, maneuvering around this treacherous course. Watching the competition go by, he would hop in behind some of the fastest riders on the track, such as Colt Nichols, following
their lines, and seeing where he could improve. He was inscribing every little detail within his head, taking specific notes on
his rhythm section etiquette, and whoop technique. It would then be put into action throughout the heat race, as his start would solidify him in solid position to begin. Putting his best effort forward, he could be seen soaring over the “SX” triple in the middle, whipping the chassis to the left, to sweep the following right-hander. In one swift motion, nearly clipping the inside hay bale, he would begin to stretch the gap on Cameron McAdoo. Looking to press forward, he would be on a hunt for the checkered flag, knowing the real work would come shortly there after. And as the moto would end, he would take fourth overall. With all of the lights upon him, the main would then be underway, and he would feel a certain level of execution come over him. No move- ment on this slippery Glendale surface would be wasted, and as he fought within the midst of the top ten, every rut, whoop, and mogul would be conquered with immense precision. Adjusting the clutch play over one of the triples on the far side, he would then take a glance over to see McAdoo again mid-race. Riding a bike that was rather wide, his rear tire would begin to draw lines in the dirt, crossing off lanes in which the opposition couldn’t cross. And although a bold strategy, weaving in and out of this layout, it would reap dividends; as he would hold on for tenth on the evening.
