Baron was in the number four spot early on, but
he recorded the fastest laptime of the race in
lap two and charged his way into the second spot
by the end of lap three. Unfortunately, Baron
also was stung by a bee, which he is allergic
to, but continued to race and took a solid second

and claimed a fourth place finish at the checkered
flag. “I just pushed the rest of the day and ride
my own race. I got fourth so not too bad. Maybe
next race I will be on the podium,” said Hancock.
Robbie Mitchell was looking strong the last couple
of races and was running in second place, but
encountered issues when his stator blew. “I was
up in second and my stator went out. I was able
to push awhile and then get towed back in. I got
it fixed and got back out there to salvage enough
laps to secure a fifth place finish,” said Mitchell.
