#30 Travis Spader, joined the list of riders aboard the LTZ400 after making the switch from the Yamaha YFZ450.

This weekend marked a record number of LTZ400 on the starting line in the Pro Class with 5 Riders after Jeremy Lawson qualified on Saturday after winning the Pro LCQ (Doug Gust, Jermiah Jones, Harold Goodman, Travis Spader, and Jeremy Lawson).
Last year at this time, the only rider in the Pro Class aboard a Suzuki was #55 Doug Gust.
