#91 Jasmin Plante kept his Yamaha out front when in counted to secure both Moto wins in the Open Pro Class
In the Open Pro class, Jasmin Plante, who was absent from the AMA ATV Motocross Nationals this weekend, grabbed the Holeshot in Moto one followed by Michael Pilotte, and Vincent Mofford. Joe Haavisto had a mid pack start and soon worked his way up to second place.

Plante and Haavisto were engaged in a heated battle for first for almost the entire moto until a rock got stuck in Haavisto’s front brakes in the last lap, which sent him flying over the handlebars. Haavisto’s crash allowed Plante to complete the last lap unchallenged and take the win. All though Haavisto was uninjured, he still took a DNF due to the damage done to his quad by the rock. “I got a bad start and then got that rock stuck,” stated a disappointed Haavisto. Vincent crossed the finish line a distant second while Danny Lewis claimed third.

In Moto number two, it was Plante who once again grabbed the Holeshot with Haavisto right on his grab bar. The pair battled back and forth passing each other several times during the course of the moto, which had the crowd cheering wildly. Unfortunately, Haavisto once again suffered mechanical issues and fell back to 8th place allowing Plante to take the win.
