Carrying the confidence from his moto win last weekend, Zach Osborne was ready to stand on the podium again at Muddy Creek. The tight 180 first turn had every rider focused on getting the holeshot, but also focusing on making it through without crashing. A 10th place start in 250 moto one put Zach in a position to hopefully contend for a podium finish before the moto ended. After picking off riders though out the long moto, Osborne showed his experience by minimizing mistakes and by working forward for the entire race. When the checkers came out the Rockstar Husqvarna rider crossed the line in 3rd place. Putting himself in a good seat for the overall win, Osborne along with the rest of the field knew that the start was crucial. 250 moto two did not start as planned for Zach as he was as far back as 26th place in the opening laps. After pushing through the heat and charging towards the front, Zach worked up to 10th place before the race ended. 3-10 moto scores gave Zach Osborne 6th overall.
