Korie Richmond scored wins in both the Production
B & Open B at Red Bud MX |
Richmond won both the Production B and Open B
events finishing 1-2 in both class motos. In the
Production B races he started fifth in the first
moto before finishing second and led every lap
from the holeshot in the second moto. In Open
B, he came back from 13th to finish second in
the first moto, and again led wire to wire in
the second moto. He now leads the Production B
Championship by seven points and is third in Open
B points. Not bad for a guy who wasn’t even sure
he was going to race this season!
“This is my first time getting on the podium
twice in one weekend,” exclaimed Richmond. “The
rough conditions played in my favor. I found a
lot of smooth lines around the track that no one
else saw and the Honda was handling great. The
Baldwin engine gave me plenty of power and the
Maxxis tires hooked up on the start, for sure.
I didn’t even think I’d be racing this season
and now I’m contending for two championships.
I am truly blessed.”

Sam Rowe & #940 Dylan Tremellen collided
at the start of Moto 2 on Saturday, which
sent the pair to the back of the pack |
The rough conditions were even worse in the Pro
motos. After getting a good handle on the track
in qualifying, Rowe finished sixth in the first
moto. At the beginning of the second moto, heavy
rains inundated the track and Rowe survived the
chaos to finish seventh. The sixth-place overall
finish places him 10th in points.
“The track was rough, but it was also tacky and
wanted to pull you everywhere,” said Rowe. “It
was really sloppy for the second moto, and I spun
in the first turn. I was second to last and everyone
was having problems; they were stuck and sliding,
but my bike was on point. My JH motor and shocks
worked great in the mud and the tough conditions.
SSI Decals hooked me up with a sweet American
Flag graphic to support Team USA. It was a good
weekend.”
Kyler Lenz Motorsports will finish off its exciting
and successful inaugural season at the Loretta
Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. That race is
scheduled for August 11-12.
