“It felt good to finally get that, I have been
chasing it all year so far. I just felt solid
all weekend. My bike worked really well on that
demanding track. I was able to just ride my own
race and put two solid motos together for the
first time all year,” explained Rowe.
Rowe dedicated his overall win to a fallen youth
rider, Kyler Lenz, who suffered a tragic crash
over the weekend. Kyler’s father, Kevin Lenz,
celebrated with Rowe on the podium in his son’s
honor. “With every thing that happened, he needs
all the love and support he can get from the ATV
community right now. It was a really tragic thing
that happened. I was just getting to know Kyler
and his family. It’s really sad what happened,”
said Rowe.
The Pro Am class leader for the national championship
points, Parker Wewerka, stayed consistent with
a second place overall finish. Wewerka won the
first moto by an incredible 17-second gap to second
place. In moto two, Wewerka was again dominating
and led all the way up until the second to last
lap, when he had some issues that pushed him back
to a fifth place moto finish for second overall.
Wewerka still leads the points race by 28.
Zach Kaczmarzyk rode his Honda to his first Pro
Am podium with third place overall. “I managed
to get up on the box in Pro Am for the first time
ever. I am extremely happy with this and cannot
thank everyone enough for helping me get to this
point in my racing career,” stated Kaczmarzyk.
With the added confidence of his first podium
behind him, Kaczmarzyk will be one to watch for
in the final three rounds this season.
Alan Myers dominated the Pro Sport class with
impressive 1-1 moto finishes for the overall win.
This was Myers first Pro Sport win of the season,
coming off his first Pro Am win at the previous
round. Myers is catching fire on the last half
of the season and is currently fourth in the championship
points.

David Solecki battled up front and rode his Honda
to second overall in Pro Sport with 3-3 moto finishes.
Solecki is second in the championship points and
remains a contender for the national championship
title.
Rounding out the Pro Sport podium with third
overall was the class points leader, Noah Mickelson.
In the first turn of the first moto, Mickelson
was involved in a holeshot crash. “That first
corner was pretty hectic. There was a big pile
up so I was a little bit behind, but I managed
to make my way back through the pack and got up
to eighth,” explained Mickelson. Moto two was
a different story for Mickelson, who came out
swinging with a second place finish to salvage
third overall.
