Levi Marana Rounds out the Top 5 |
MCR/Maxxis’ Josh Row came from a mid-pack
start and worked his way into the number four spot
after just a few laps. Row would battle back and
forth with Dustin Nelson at the mid-way point, but
he would settle in for a solid fourth place finish.
Levi Marana would follow his teammate, Josh Row
through traffic and fall in behind him to round
out the top five.
Can-Am Motoworks’ Dillon Zimmerman was
in the top five off the line, but he would fall
back to seventh place where he and MCR/Maxxis’
Mike Cafro would battle for most of the race.
Zimmerman would get past for a sixth place finish
when Cafro would stop to help Pro-am racer Garrin
Fuller, who was pinned under his quad after a
nasty wreck. “I had to stop and help him.
I know Garrin pretty well and I had to help him,”
said Cafro, who would still finish in seventh
after helping out his fellow racer.
