“Chuckie was out front from the get-go when I got stuck behind someone,” said Riley. “I just wasn’t able to challenge him. We missed the setup just a little bit, and I’m happy to come home on the podium. We had to take the Joker Lane twice and that made it interesting. It was a lot of fun.”

Houghton rebounded from mechanical issues experienced on day one to finish third on day two. He was challenging for second in the end when the clutch began to slip on his quad.

“After a little bad luck on Friday, we regrouped and put in a solid run,” said Houghton. “We’ll regroup on this and get things moving forward from there. I like this track a lot. It’s a very technical track. You have to make sure you hit your shift points. You have to have a good start and you have to put in a good 25 laps.”

Evanyke equaled his finish on day one with another fourth-place finish. He is looking forward to running the event again next year.
