"When I came to the finish line and there was two people and someones bike wasn't starting right. They kept cranking, cranking, and cranking and it wouldn't start and I was counting down the seconds. With racer mentality my first was I have to get around them and go. I went through were I shouldn't have went and I got around and I got penalized." explained DC Cycle's Brycen Neal

DC Cycles #1 Ryan Lane lead the Pro ATV several times but fell back to fifth place after clipping a tree on his Honda 450R ATV |
Rounding out the Top 5 in the Pro AA ATV Class was defending AMA MAXC Pro AA Class Champion Ryan Lane. Lane had a good run going and lead the race several times until he clipped a tree near the end of the race. Although Lane was uninjured it did however mess up his steering slowing down his pace.
"I went into the woods second. I led pretty much the whole first lap. We just went back and fourth exchanging the lead. When we all pitted it shuffled everything up. I was then third and my hands slipped off the handlebars and clipped a tree and I think I bent something because it wouldn't turn to the right after that" Explained #1 Ryan Lane.
