#88 Joel Hetrick made his way up to third place in Moto 1 but fell back to fourth after Creamer made the pass stick

Pennsylvania native and Round 2 overall winner, Joel Hetrick had a top five start and found his way into the third place spot before the end of lap one. Hetrick settled into this position until about halfway through the race when rider on the move Creamer found his way up to fourth and started to put pressure on the 88 machine. Hetrick and Creamer had an intense battle the remainder of the moto but it wasn't until there were a few laps to go when Creamer came along the long straight stretch and was able to make a pass on Hetrick.

"I really had to put my head down and work all the way through the moto to keep in the front of the field. My machine was really working great out there and allowed me to put the final charge for that third place position," said Creamer

Last year's overall winner at Ballance Moto X, veteran John Natalie was able to secure a top five start on his MotoSport.com Motoworks DWT machine and finish out the moto in fifth. While rookies Kyle Fix and Casey Martin, aboard his PRP DASA T&T Racing machine, battled out the moto for the sixth place position.
