“I really didn’t expect to win today,” said Benally.
“The points lead is another bonus. Everything
felt good out there. I just rode my own race and
I did everything right, I guess.”

Tyler Benally secured his 2nd straight win
to take over the WORCS Pro-Am Points lead |
Gonzalez crashed in round one and rebounded to
finish fifth and then had a DNF in the second
round. To finish second was a huge accomplishment.

Racing's Ricardo Gonzalez secured a 2nd
place finish |
“My Duncan motor really helped me on the uphills,”
said Gonzalez. “It’s great to be on the box after
DNFing the last race and going over the bars in
the first race.”
Huff crashed twice during the race, but was happy
to rebound and finish third. Though he lost the
points lead, he is still well in the hunt for
this year’s title.

but he still managed to secure the final
spot on the WORCS Pro-Am Podium |
“The track was awesome,” said Huff. “I was super
stoked to hit the step up when they opened that
up for the main event. The track worked in perfectly;
it was prime.”
