Austin Forkner took the holeshot and boat-raced the first moto, winning by over 20 seconds. Joey Savatgy took second and Alex Martin got third. Cody Webb tipped over early in the race, but came from back in the back to finish fourth.
Ken Roczen went wire-to-wire and was never challenged in the first 450 moto.
In the second 250 moto, Aaron Plessinger had an early lead, but couldn’t hold it as Austin Forkner worked past him. But Plessinger stayed on Forkner’s rear wheel and was able to take advantage of Forkner’s crash late in the race and re-take the lead and hung on for the win. Forkner finish third, behind Webb, to take the overall win.
In moto two for the 450’s, Andrew Short snagged the holeshot in the final race of his career. It didn’t take long for Justin Barcia and Roczen to get by him. Roczen needed a few turns to past Barcia and take the lead. Roczen cruised to another 20-second win with Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac finishing out the podium.
