Lonestar/Precision/Moto-Xperts’ Adam McGill took the early lead, but was followed closely by Jarrod McClure and Chris Borich. McGill was able to hold off the competition until the fourth lap when Chris Bithell made a charge to the front and took over the lead, dropping McGill back to second.

McGill charged back into the lead briefly, before Chris Borich slipped by, putting McGill back in second, where he would remain as he crossed the finish line. “Everything really came together for me today. I ran a good pace, but I just ran out of time out there today. It was a good day and I think it’s going to be a good season for us,” stated McGill.

Can-Am/Motoworks’ Chris Bithell was in the top ten off the start and put the hammer down, and made one of the most impressive charges of the race; recording the fastest lap time of the race with a time of 26:35 in lap two as he charged his way up into the second spot.

By lap fourth lap, Bithell charged his way into the lead, but he soon came under fire from Chris Borich and fell back to third after fatigue set in due to his hard charge early in the race. Bithell would go on to claim the final spot on the Podium. “I had a pretty good race overall, but I’m looking forward to Georgia. It’s back in the dirt, which is more my style, so I am ready for that,” Bithell said.

Yamaha/Ballance Racing’s rookie pro, Walker Fowler, was looking impressive as he shot off the start and was holding down a respectable fourth place going into the second lap, just seconds behind McGill, McClure and Borich. Fowler fell back to eighth in the second lap. “When I was trying to catch McGill, I hit a tree and twisted my steering stem and that put me behind a bit, but I pulled into the pits and got it fixed. From there I just started making up time and caught back up,” he explained.
