“The first moto I came out of the gate bad, but charged up to third, I was pretty pumped on that. The second moto I holeshot third but the rain was coming down, and I lost my front brakes on the first lap. I wrecked trying to figure them out, but regrouped and just rode without them. I was able to work up to sixth. It is a little behind where I was expecting to be but hopefully that will be our bad race and we will just keep working forward. The Maxxis tires were hooking up the DASA motor ran great,” stated Brown.

JB Racing’s Jeffery Rastrelli had 6-4 moto finishes to place fifth overall. “It was a really treacherous track today. I haven’t rode on anything that knarly in a while so we were kind of under prepared. I finished sixth the first moto, and second moto came out around mid pack and moved up to fourth. It was a mud race so we just tried to stay consistent. We are going to go home, turn it around, and hopefully come back with a podium. After my Daytona showing I know where I belong, and this weekend I let myself down,” stated Rastrelli.

Walsh Race Craft’s Nick Gennusa fought through the challenging track conditions for sixth place overall.
“I had a good first moto. I felt really solid and I got up to seventh. Second moto I spun a little bit off the start and the second turn my seat fell off. I worked through it, made a few good passes and made it to fifth. I had roll off goggles that worked really well until I ran out of stuff to pull and had to take them off. I closed in on Rastrelli, but I couldn’t get it done. I’m walking out of here safe and pretty happy with my results, and I only want to go forward from here,” said Gennusa.

Root River Racing’s Josh Upperman finished seventh overall on the weekend after finishing fifth in the first moto and tenth in the second. “The first moto I settled in fifth. It got a little wet and sloppy out there the second moto. About mid way my bike started acting up and I had to back it off and I finished tenth. I’m looking forward to Tennessee. I’m happy with how the bikes working. I’m going to get some more training and practicing and I think we will be right there with them. My Hoosier tires are working awesome. We have had really good luck with them and the people at Hoosier are awesome to work with,” stated Upperman.
