weekend,” stated Shepherd.

#1 Megan
Shepherd secured her 6th straight win
at Spring Creek

Aubre King stayed consistent with 2-2 moto finishes
for second overall. King is the only other WMX
racer to win an overall this season and has consistently
stayed in the podium for most other rounds to
secure her second place position in the championship
points.
The number five of Michelle Jenkins rounded out
the WMX podium with third overall. Jenkins put
in a strong ride to finish third in the first
moto and fourth in the second, which was impressive
considering she sliced her forearm open early
in the week and needed stitches after cutting
through the muscle.
In Production B, Cody Ford took the overall win.
Ford dominated the competition, taking first in
both motos. Ford maintained second place in the
championship points race but is inching closer
to first.
