It was a great night for the BTO Sports KTM rider of Justin Brayton as he scored his second top five of the season and held off the newly crowned 2015 and 2016 champ Ryan Dungey for a couple of laps. The #10 of Brayton got third place in his heat race and began to prepare for the main event. With year end bonuses in mind, each championship point is valuable especially with just two rounds remaining. Brayton did everything right in the
main event, he got off to a top three start and rode 20 solid clean laps. The only two riders to get around the #10 was Dungey and Tomac, and there is no shame in getting passed by either of those competitors. Justin has one more weekend to get on the podium and if he can continue to get good starts and if the competition has a couple of mistakes, Brayton could very easily have his best finish of the season.
