The women’s class was dominated by Root River
Racing’s Megan Manshack. Winning both moto’s,
Manshack secured first place overall. This is
Manshack’s sixth straight win of the season, which
puts her close to wrapping up the championship.
She currently leads the class points with 180,
a 43 point gap to second place. “I’m one moto
away from wrapping up the championship, so I’m
pretty excited,” said Manshack. Spring Creek Mx
is also Root River Racing’s home track, so some
added support topped off the weekend. “We had
a really big cheering section this weekend, and
it just made it that much sweeter,” said Manshack.

Aubre King put in two solid moto’s with 2-2 finishes

moto. King is currently in second place in class
points with 137, but things are heating up as
she only sits four points ahead of Maci Davenport

In the Youth All Star class, Payton Zimmerman
took the overall win with 2-1 moto finishes. “Everyone
is always up in the front battling, so if you
win, you’re really pumped about it,” said Zimmerman.
Troy Hill edged out Zimmerman for the moto win
on the first moto, but when Sunday rolled around
Hill had troubles while leading the race and ended
up eleventh to place him in seventh overall. “Troy
and I were side by side in the holeshot, but he
made it to the first turn a little bit faster.
Going through the whoops he broke, and I ended
up winning,” said Zimmerman about the second moto.
Zimmerman is the points leader with 184 points.
