Ben Kelley: “It was a solid race. Conditions were tough with that dust but I did the best I could. I got into third and kind of just rode there all day. I’m happy with how I rode and it was a pretty uneventful day with no crashes, which is a solid rebound after last the round. I’m looking forward to getting up north and having another go in Indiana.”

Toth got off to a mid-pack start in the XC1 Open Pro class and he ended up dropping back to 10th on the opening lap as he struggled to fight through the dust early on. He maintained 10th for the first hour of racing, which allowed him to settle in and shake off the arm pump before making his charge later in the race. He got into ninth by the halfway point and from there he upped the pace to overtake one more spot in the final laps to ultimately secure eighth for the day.
