The XC2 Pro Am class experienced excitement of its own as DeRisi Racing's Braden Henthorn took over the points lead with his fourth win of the season. Wisconsin's Bill Berger grabbed the $100 Motosport.com Holeshot Award but it was New Jersey's Randy Hamilton who took over the early lead. Hamilton led a majority of the first half, but encountered some issues around the halfway point that knocked him outside of the Top 10.
The XC2 Pro Am podium celebration saw two fresh faces as West Virginia's Michael Lancaster finished a season-best second place and Indiana's Nathan Wallpe took home his season-best finish of third place in front of friends and family in his home state.
Tireballs-backed Patrick McGuire, previous points leader, experienced various issues throughout the afternoon, where he finished 13th place. Henthorn and McGuire sit less than 10 points apart with one round left to go in the series championship. Next month's finale at Loretta Lynn's will determine the 2012 champion.
