Mike Sloan & Robbie Mitchell had an intense battle for the final spot on the podium till the final lap when Sloan suffered a mechanical issue

“It’s been a little too long since I’ve been on the podium and it’s good to be back up here,” said Mitchell. “I came out of the gate a little slow, but the bike ran well at first then it started stumbling. The only lap it ran well was the second to last. Mike was riding well today. I just tried to reel him in the dust then something happened to him in the end. I finally had a good race with family watching. We’re going to get the bikes where I really want them and we’ll come out swinging at the last two races.”

Robbie Mitchell is currently 2nd place in points, 30 points behind Baron & 6 points ahead of Sloan, heading into the final 2 rounds of racing

Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller battled dust, as well as stuck shifter to finish fourth. “I stuck with them as long as I could, but I was getting off track and hitting bushes so I backed off a little bit,” said Fuller. “Then I came into the pits and a rock got stuck between my shifter and the frame. The transmission was stuck in neutral then I kicked it into third and I had to kick it to get it loose. It was just a fluke thing.”

Pro Motorsports’ Matt Hancock recorded his third consecutive top-five finish. He said he had trouble focusing during the race. “I just wasn’t there mentally,” explained Hancock. “The bike was great, but I just couldn’t focus today. I didn’t get the greatest start. I started off in the back in the dust. I made it through it, and I’ll get my head better during the summer break.”
