Haagsma then got into an exciting battle with Yamaha’s Josh Row for the second position and the two battled for the final three laps. “It wasn’t easy; I wasn’t feeling comfortable, but I was able to get back up there. In the end, I had a great battle with Josh Row for second. It was a lot of fun. I got lucky today,” said Haagsma after the race. His second place finish was enough to keep him ranked second in the Pro ATV class.

FOX’s Josh Row matched his season best finish by taking third for the round. Row had a good start and was in fourth for the beginning of the race. He moved into third on lap six before overtaking second when his teammate had issues on lap nine. He was beginning to gap Haagsma when another racer got stuck in the tunnel and Row had to wait several seconds for the path to be cleared. He battled with Haagsma for a while, and then settled into the third spot where he stayed until the checkers.

“I was running really well. This is the best my quad has felt all season and everything was working great. My wheel / tire / shock combo was flawless. It’s huge for me to get on the podium today. Everyone is so fast now and you have to be at the top of your game all the time. It’s so good for me to be up her with them,” said Row. Row is tied for fourth on his Yamaha in Pro ATV points.
