Finch Tree Service / FOX / MAXXIS Tire’s Preston Young came out of the holeshot in fifth place for the second of the two Pro motos. He didn’t stay there long though as he was quickly on a mission to get around defending Pro champion Travis Moore who was in fourth place. Moore and Young came into the downhill off-camber and Moore was sent looping out, allowing Young to get by.

Southside Polaris / Mystik Lubricants / Gravely’s Cody Paolella has been on a hot-streak lately after dominating at Twister Valley in NY. Paolella came out and was able to get a great holeshot and actually win the first moto of the Pro class after fighting the muddy track conditions, and poor visibility.

Mom & Dad / Goldspeed / FLY’s Cody Paolella had a tougher time in the second moto however. He came out of the holeshot in a good position with a fourth place start but got bumped out of the spot and over a berm in the off-camber section as he and Moore came into the same corner with a good amount of speed. This sent Paolella’s momentum to the back of the pack and forced him to battle his way back. Paolella was able to get back onto the track safely and continue his search for a better position. Unfortunately he was only able to come away with a fifth place finish producing a 1-5 set for third place overall, still, a good finish and improving his chances of being a title contender with only three rounds of racing left.
