Racing's Q1 of David Scott & Danny Prather
just missed out on another win with a 2nd
place finish to maintain the pro points
lead heading to the Vegas to Reno in August |
“There were lots of turns and it was really
high speed but it was a good ride. It was frustrating
that we didn’t win, but Josh Frederick is
a great rider, so I don’t feel too bad to
lose to him. We still have the points lead so
I’m pretty happy with that,” said
David Scott.
The Q8 Pro ATV Store team of Matt Hancock and
Joshua Edwards, who are currently second in points,
hung on for a third place finish just under ten
minutes behind the Q1 team, but still remain close
in points with Prather and Scott finishing in
second.
