Joey Savatgy didn’t get the holeshot, but he took the lead a turn later and was never again challenged en route to winning the first 250 moto. Alex Martin chased Savatgy for a few laps, before falling back a bit and settling for second, with Aaron Plessinger taking third. Zach Osborne was working his way up from mid pack, when his bike had a radiator hose problem about halfway through the moto. With the bike smoking and running out of coolant, Osborne was able to salvage an 8th place finish.
In the first 450 moto, Marvin Musquin pulled the holeshot and went wire-to-wire for a 21-second win. Eli Tomac had a rough start but quickly worked his way through the pack and into second place, but was never able to get close to Musquin, and finished second. Dean Wilson, Justin Barcia and Cooper Webb battled the last few laps, with Wilson taking third place.
In the second 250 moto, Joey Savatgy got out to another lead. But this time Zach Osborne’s bike stayed together and he ran down Savatgy, and passed him about 25 minutes into the race. Savatgy took second for the overall win and Shane McElrath grabbed third.
Justin Bogle took an early lead in the second 450 moto, with Eli Tomac charging in second. But Tomac went down on the first lap and fell back to 14th place. Marvin Musquin took over from Tomac, and eventually got past Bogle for the lead and checked out for an easy win. Blake Baggett finished second with Dean Wilson getting third.
