Beau Baron battled through dehydration to
claim the 2nd spot |
MCR/Maxxis' Beau Baron was feeling a bit under the
weather at the start of the race, but not being
one to give up easily, Baron charged off the line,
quickly working himself into the number two position.
"I was in second for a few laps and then I
was leading for a little while. Then Nelson caught
up to me and we were battling back and forth and
then he fell back. I was still leading but I just
started feeling worse and worse. I was throwing
up and I was getting really dehydrated and I just
had nothing left," said Baron.

Stator's Josh Row claimed the final spot
on the Podium after a brief battle with
Dustin Nelson who was dealing with bent
rear brake rotor |
While baron was struggling out on the track, Josh
Frederick would catch up and take over the lead.
Luckily, Baron had put enough distance between him
and the rest of the pack that he was still able
to hold on to second place as he reached the checkered
flag. "At the end I was just barely hanging
on. Even though I really wanted the win, I am glad
I was still able to make the podium," stated
Baron, who was admitted to the hospital later that
day with severe dehydration. Despite his ordeal,
Baron remained in good spirits and was hoping to
be discharged on Monday.
While Baron had a bit of a tough time, his teammate
Josh Row seemed to have an almost flawless race.
Row was in the top five off the start and took
over the lead shortly into the first lap. Row
was on a hard charge as he led for three laps
before falling back. Row kept a fast, steady pace
and took over the number three spot in lap ten
and held it all the way to the finish line. Row's
strong performance now has him sitting in fourth
place of the points race.

Dustin Nelson just missed the Podium with
a 4th place finish |
Yamaha's Dustin Nelson also had his turn out
front. Nelson was in tenth off the line, but quickly
worked himself into the number three position
halfway through lap one. In lap two, Nelson recorded
the fastest lap of the day with a time of 09:13.986.
Nelson was on a mission as he worked his way around
Josh Row and began to chase down Beau Baron. "I
was right behind Beau and I had to make a pit
stop. I knew Beau had to pit as well, and I usually
have really fast pits so I was hoping to get in
front of him out of the pits, and that's exactly
what happened.
Unfortunately, in lap nine, I hit something and
bent my rear rotor, so I had no rear brakes, which
really set me back," said Nelson, who would
fall back to fourth place, where he would stay
all the way to the checkered flag.
