Cooke was looking solid, but ended up spinning out early in the race, allowing Coburn to take the lead. “I knew once I got in the lead that I needed to pull away because I knew that Brad Riley would be coming through the pack and I wanted to get a good gap before that happened,” explained Coburn. And just as he described, Riley would eventually make his way through to second, but Coburn had a good lead and was able to cruise to the checkered flag to take his third win of the day. “It felt great to be able to race at home and win like that. Had a lot of family here supporting me and friends and it felt really good to be able to put in a good show for them,” said Coburn.
