NE EDT Racing - Round 4 Twisted MX Milan, Michigan July 2, 2016

The RATH Racing Pro-lite class saw a full-gate of twenty racers line up to start the contest. MAXXIS / Elka Suspension / Houser Racing / FLY’s Damian King has yet to be bested in the Pro-lite ranks since early in the season and has continued to uphold that record after round four of the series.

Damian King came off the line in expert fashion to snag the Deister Racing / Motor City Solutions Holeshot award just ahead of John Stierle and Paula Kwiek. King quickly opted for the inside option lane and began to pull a lead on the pack as he and Stierle battled for position up front. Without faltering, King stayed calm for the entire main event, putting in solid, consistent laps, and came away with another win for himself.

Championship Powersports Racing / Houser’s John Stierle made his first appearance of the 2016 season and landed on the podium in second place after a hard battle with King and looks to be a top contender for the rest of the season. Earnhardt Racing / Hoosier’s Sam Jones came from a mid-pack start to strengthen his position, pass several riders and move his way up into third place by the end of the race, allowing him to round out the Pro-lite podium with a solid third place finish.

In the Noel Property Maintenance Women’s class, Shank Racing / Tru-Way Racing’s Paul Kwiek came out and grabbed the Noel Property holeshot award just ahead of CCR Racing / Close Encounter Whitetail’s Andrea Creech and was off to a good head-start heading into the first lap of the race. Kwiek remained out front for the entire length of the bout, forcing the other women to duke it out behind her.

Creech fended off Jessica Ryckman early on in the race and then Heather Byrd who was gaining ground through the pack. Creech was able to hold onto second place while Byrd, racing her first NE-EDT race, caught on quickly to gain momentum and ended up on the Women’s class podium in a respectable third place finish.
