Rastrelli had his work cut out for him, though. After crashing in his heat, Rastrelli qualified for the main by winning the LCQ. After getting one of the last gate picks for the main event, Rastrelli challenged his way to the front to earn the runner-up finish.

“I had a nice little get-off,” said Rastrelli of his crash in his heat. “I went into a hole and fell off the bike. That really put a fire under my butt and made me ride even better. I charged ahead in the main and I knew the work I put in during the winter would pay off. I just stayed consistent and didn’t make any mistakes. I had some really good lines out there today, made my moves and rode a solid race.”

Rastrelli rode his race on Goldspeed Tires through his sponsorship with Root River Racing. He also made the switch to a Honda this year.

“The bike was just perfect today,” added Rastrelli. “The Goldspeed Tires are unbelievable. We got them onboard just a few weeks ago. If I could recommend to anyone thinking about buying a tire, it would be a Goldspeed.”

“This is definitely a lot better start to the year,” said Rastrelli. “It’s nice to be in the hunt for the championship. The JB Racing/Root River/Goldspeed/Baldwin powered Honda is unbelievable. The whole program is unbelievable this year. Hard work really pays off.”

Rastrelli starts off the year with a runner-up finish and he’ll be ready as the AMA ATV Motocross National Championship next heads to Underground MX in Texas April 9-10.
