Maxxis' #549 Beau Baron took the Moto One
Win with #422 David Haagsma in chase to
the checkered flag |
Maxxis/H&M Motorsports’ Beau Baron was
looking strong as he shot off the line in the first
moto of round six and grabbed the holeshot. Baron
was not alone however as his teammate, David Haagsma
was close behind. Despite the pressure, Baron stayed
focused and took his lead all the way to the checkered
flag for the moto one win.
“I felt really good out there. They made
a bunch of changes to the track so it was a lot
of fun and it just worked for me,” said
Baron.
In moto two, Baron was right on Haagsma off the
start and stayed incredibly close for the entire
moto. Despite his best efforts, Baron could not
make a pass stick and finished in the number two
spot, just inches from Haagsma’s grab bar,
giving him second overall for the day. “I
tried to get by David, but I was eating a lot
of roost and I just couldn’t make it happen
that time,” Baron stated.

Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson was in a solid third
off the start for the first moto. Nelson stayed
close for the first couple of laps, but began to
drop back. Nelson stayed in the number three spot
from start to finish for a third place finish.
Moto two was a repeat for Nelson as he came off
the line in third once again and held it from
start to finish. Nelson’s consistent 3-3
finishes allowed him to take the final spot on
the pro podium.

place finish in moto one, but he really came on
strong in moto two and battled it out with Josh
