A great race is shaping up here in Indiana as the white flag is about to come out. Red Bull KTM's Nathan Kanney has led all day, but FMF Suzuki's Charlie Mullins is trying to keep him honest and sits about 30 seconds back. Am-Pro Yamaha teammates Barry Hawk and Thad DuVall are chasing each other around for the final podium spot, with DuVall following Hawk for most of the day. Might the XC2 Champion find a place to pass on the last lap, or will Hawk's experience win out?
In XC2 Pro Lites, Powersports GrafX KTM riders Cory Buttrick and Kailub Russell have been pushing each other all day in a private duel for the win. Buttrick pulled out a little distance, then Russell closed the gap, and now they're battling wheel to wheel for the win. Monster Energy Andrews Yamaha's Jason Thomas sits third.
One lap to go, Kanney just took the white flag ahead of Mullins, and now DuVall has gotten around Hawk. Keep tuned to live results to see how it all turns out.
