“The Wicked Bilt/ Can-Am was great today,” said Plavi. “I’ve had some bad luck in the last couple of races. I knew we had the speed and the machine, but you have to have a little bit of luck to make it happen. It all came together today.”

Coastal Racing’s Sean Bogdan, in just his second year of XC2 competition, won a tight title chase by finishing ahead of Michael Swift and within the top five to keep Plavi from overtaking the points lead.

“We played it conservative today,” said Bogdan. “I had to stay ahead of Swift and Krcelich to win the championship. Swift and I were battling it out all day, and I just finished ahead of him so that wrapped up the championship.”

In the XC3 Lites class, Kymco’s Dan McConnaughey ran a consertive race to finish in the top five, which was his first time finishing out of the top three all season to secure the class championship for Kymco ahead of Evetts Racing just three points behind in the second spot.
