crossed the line in first with a nice lead over
Pro Rookie Kendall Webb. For Kendall Webb, it
was his first ever Pro Class race, and he secured
a 2nd place podium finish in his Pro Class debut,
which surely won’t be his last. Finishing

Brandon Hill & #143 Danny McGraw battled

on to match a season best finish |
With Goodman unable to make the top five in the
Pro class at this round, Coburn was able to gain
some ground in the points race. Goodman now has
173 points, and still maintains the lead, but
Coburn is fast approaching with 169 points after
this round. Goodman is still in the driver’s
seat for the final round of racing because at
the worst, he will only needs to finish right
behind Coburn to secure his second straight EDT
Pro championship. “I’m looking forward
to the next round and I’m feeling pretty
good about it. It should be pretty interesting
since Harold and I are so close in points in the
Pro class,” stated Coburn in regards to
how he feels about being in such close competition.

RACE REPORT |
In the Pro Lites class, it was Goodman and Coburn
who were once again bar to bar coming off the
gate, but Goodman ran into problems when he apparently
missed a shift. Goodman tried to recover from
his unfortunate mistake, but Coburn was on his
game and took the lead. Goodman, who was now in
second, began applying the pressure to Coburn,
hoping for an opportunity to pass, but Coburn
kept his cool and rode smart, leading the entire
race all the way to the finish line. “It
feels really great to come out here and take my
first Pro win of the season and then to win in
both classes; it’s just a really good feeling.
Everything just worked great for me out there,”
said Coburn excitedly. Chuckie Creech, who had
a tough time of things in the Pro class crossed
the line in a respectable third place, while Kirby
Cooke finished in fourth and Brandon Hill rounded
out the top five.
