Heavy rains prior to the event made for a muddy
race at the fast and challenging course. Rosales
took it in stride and was charging toward the
front before he was punted into the wall by another
competitor. After restarting last, he charged
to an 11th–place finish.
“I was doing well, making some moves, but another
driver couldn’t hold himself and he pushed me
into a wall,” said Rosales. “I went from last
to 11th after driving my way back up. If I had
one more lap, I could have made it up to eighth.”

The sudden rainstorm prior to the green flag
took many competitors by surprise. Hans Ada hit
the curveball into the upper deck, getting Rosales’
car in perfect shape for the slick conditions.
“We went from not knowing what to do in the mud
to a perfect setup,” said Rosales. Our car was
built and it was fast today. Hans’ preparation
was a huge help.”

Although he’s the youngest competitor in the
field, Rosales has made huge strides in his first
season in a national series. Cheering him on are
his parents, who both attend every race with their
son.
“I didn’t know what to expect when I came out
here, but I feel like I can compete, and I still
have a lot to learn,” said Rosales. “My parents
have been super supportive. I’m so glad to have
them both out here to watch me race.”
Rosales will be back in action in his Hans Ada-prepared
Yamaha when LOORRS heads to Utah Motorsports Campus
in Tooele, UT August 24-25.
