::Continued::

Traveling to Tennessee, all the way from California, was David Haagsma Jr., who clinched fourth overall. This was only Haagsma’s third appearance this season but his presence was surely felt by his competition. Haagsma’s 5-4 moto finishes led him to his fourth place overall finish.

“Both motos I had great starts. I have to thank Curtis Sparks and Maxxis tires for hooking up. Second moto after my great start, I passed Upperman for second, but later on Brown and Hetrick were able to run me down. I ended up fourth that moto and fourth on the day. This track is pretty knarly and the heat is a lot different than our heat back at home. The track turned out really rough. I’m going to come back next year and hopefully do the whole series,” said Haagsma.

Vechery Racing’s Ronnie Higgerson is an up and coming top rider in the Pro class. Higgerson clinched a top five finish at Loretta Lynn’s, with 4-5 moto finishes. First moto Higgerson tied his very best moto finish in his Pro career with a fourth. “First moto I had a bad start but worked my way up through the pack pretty quick. I battled with Thomas Brown for most of the moto. “In the second moto I was running in third, and started having some bike problems. It was cutting out but cleared up and I made some ground back up to finish fifth,” explained Higgerson.

Higgerson has been gaining speed and confidence with every round this season, and looks to be a podium contender very soon. “The fifth overall is a good confidence booster to keep training in the offseason. I hope next year to come out and be a top three contender every race. I’ll keep this momentum going through the offseason, and come out swinging next year,” said Higgerson.

JB Racing's Jeffrey Rastrelli finished in 6th overall after dealing with some issues in each moto

Another topic worthy of mention was Joe Byrd claiming the SSI Decals holeshot award in moto two. “This is probably my 30th year at Loretta Lynn’s and I’ve got about 46 holeshots on this gate. I can’t thank DASA power enough,” said Byrd.

#15 Nick Gennusa finished out the year in the top five overall with a 7th overall finish on Saturday & Gennusa will be going for the Pro-Am Championship on Sunday
