Natalie caught up to third place, Josh Creamer,
and the battle began. Natalie was able to make
the pass on Creamer when the number 9 Suzuki went
high in the berm and off the track. Natalie would
hold down third all the way to the checkered flag.
Natalie once again got a good start in moto two
and was soon battling with Josh Upperman for the
number five spot. Natalie would take over fifth,
and end his day with fourth overall.

got off to a good start, was right on Creamer’s
grab bar in moto one and made the pass after a
brief battle. Upper was pulling away from the
rest of the pack, but was unable to catch Wimmer
before crossing the finish line, leaving him to
settle for a respectable second.

the Moto with a 01:53.038 in lap 7 &

but began to fade and would finish in sixth to
round out the top five overall.

at the rear of the pack off the start in moto

to the number seven spot before crossing the finish
line. Lawson would get a better start in moto
two and finish in a consistent seventh once again
to take sixth place overall.
