Husqvarna’s Brock Bennett suffered a rough start that put him in 9th place the first time across the timing stripe; he showed the pace of Myers throughout the entire race as he carved his way through the pack, clocking the fastest lap time of the race on the penultimate lap. He was able to get around the KTM rider of Matthew Curler for 4th place
on the final lap, salvaging a solid finish after a difficult start to the race. Crockett Myers pulled another flawless start
and made the race easy for himself, enjoying a 3.5 second gap ahead ahead of the Texas native of Lane Allison throughout the moto. Allison took his Husqvarna machine from 4th
to 2nd in the opening laps, working
his way past Jayden Clough and Jack Walker in the process. Brock Bennett gave himself another mountain to climb with a slow start to the race, but he was able to fight from 6th to 3rd in order
to secure the last overall position on the podium. Hymas followed Bennett through the pack after a 7th place start, setting the fastest lap of the race on the second to last lap. Ryder DiFrancesco tucked in behind the two of them, as the trio charged to the front of the field, but the Team Green rider came up just short and finished 6th place behind his fellow Kawasaki pilot, Jayden Clough.
