It was another picture perfect day for racing
for Round 2 with nearing ninety degrees with sunny
skies, and MAXXIS / PEP / Houser Racing’s Brad
Riley was ready to shine as he came out of the
holeshot in third place behind Brian Ace who grabbed
the holeshot after the red-flag restart because
a rider jumped the start. Riley hammered on the
throttle and pressured the pair of Ace and Creech
up front until one of them slipped into a mistake
or opened up a sliver of a spot, so Riley could
sneak around them. As soon as he saw this opportunity,
he pounced on it and was able to get around Ace
who had been battling with Creech for the early
part of the race. With Riley being behind Creech
for several laps, he was able to study his movements
and lines and also put a pass on Creech shortly
after passing Ace. Once out front, Riley stayed
true to his talents and remained on the gas to
complete the twenty lap race in first place, his
third first-place finish of the weekend!

“I spun the tires a bit off from the start and
came off third place, I got behind Ace for a few
laps and then slowly reeled in Chuckie and battled
it out for several laps and I put a few different
moves on him that didn’t work and found a few
ways of passing him and finally made it stick.
I got a little bit of a lead and held that all
the way to the finish line. Tonight’s track was
a bit more race-ready than last night and was
a lot of fun to run on. The big berm seemed to
be one of my best spots for improving my position,
but I tried every single part of the track for
the pass. Luckily I got out front and was able
to hold onto first place and I’m happy with that,”
said Riley.

Creech got off to an even better start than Riley
and was the first on the scene to contend with
Brian Ace, the holeshot winner. Creech applied
strong pressure early on in the race and was able
to catch Ace in a corner and make the pass and
move into first place. Creech’s race wasn’t over
however as he had about three quarters of the
race left to run and had Riley slowly moving in
on his rear grab bar as well. Once Riley got around
Ace as well, the race was on and Creech came under
heavy pressure. Unfortunately for Creech, he got
bumped back to second place as Riley moved his
way to the front of the pack. Creech settled for
second place on the Pro podium but was happy with
a solid weekend and a good start to his season.
