“I came off in third behind Ace and I tried a few times to make a pass but Brian was holding his line and hitting his mark. I just didn't quite have what I needed to make the pass so ended up in third place which I’m totally happy with being that it’s only my second time on the bike and we are still working on setup. It ran incredibly well and I’m pleased with how things are coming together,” said Creech.

The Pro-Am class was headed to the line and with eighteen racers, it was sure to be an all-out brawl for the top spots on the podium.
