Bryce Peart held off Logan Huff till just before the White Flag when Huff made the pass for the lead, but he was later penalized, which gave Peart the win. Peart is now only 6 points behind Huff in the Pro-Am Championship points battle

“I did get the win and that helps us out with points, but I still give it hands down to Logan,” said Peart. “He definitely earned the win, regardless of the penalty. I rode the best I could, but he got around me on the last lap. I got second overall. I’m happy with that. Hopefully we can just get better from here. It’s nice to podium with the Pros.”

Huff, on a Yamaha, ran hard during the race. Despite losing the position due to the penalty, he still holds the lead in Pro Am points going into the summer break. He finished third overall and stood on the Pro podium with Baron and Peart.

“That was quite the battle,” said Huff. “I made a sketchy pass in traffic and I had Bryce in the air on the tabletop. That was key. I’m just going to keep riding and come back strong. We’re focusing on the Pro lap times.”

Gonzalez had to overcome a host of issues during the race to score the third-place finish. Despite having to change goggles on the first lap due to the mud and issues with his nerf bar, he snagged his fourth podium of the season.
