Pro ATV Race Report - Continued
At 3:00pm Pro Riders took the gate once again, for the
final Moto. When the gate hit the ground, the tires dug
into the ground propelling the riders up the hill one
final time. Honda teammates, Joe Byrd and Jeremy Lawson
were neck and neck as they charged up the hill. Pat Brown
had the hammer down and wasted no time passing both riders
before the official holeshot line. With $100 in his pocket
from ATVriders.com, Brown fended off the pressure from
Lawson. A determined Lawson would make the pass before
they crossed the finish line for the first time.

Pat
Brown & Joe Byrd battling for the 2nd |
An epic battled arose between Brown and Byrd as Byrd
explored different lines trying to make the pass. After
the first lap, it was Shane Hitt locking in fourth place.
Mike Brown knocked on the back door of Hitt as Justin
Bres followed up the challenge. Christ Tait and Sage
Baker began an early battle for 7th place. On Lap three,
Sage would overtake Tait and set his eyes on Bres. Tait
would continue to push hard and retake the 7th place
position on lap 7.

Lawson claims his 2nd Win of the year, which prompted
a finish line celebration |
Shane
Hitt was pressured by Michael Brown the entire
Moto, but Hitt was able to hold onto the 4th spot |
The top six would remain the same until lap 9 where
Byrd would pull along side of Brown. A drag race would
result in a Byrd claiming second place. At that same
time, Lawson had opened a 12 second while pulling out
three 1:53 lap times. Lawson would finally back off
the throttle on lap twelve when he crossed the finish
line. His excitement was visible as he threw his hands
in the air. With Joe Byrd crossing in second place,
it was a tie for first place It was soon realized by
many that a second Moto win outweighed Byrd’s
first moto win, putting Lawson at the top of the podium.
