250 Moto 1
Aaron Plessinger took the holeshot, but quickly lost it when he slid out in a turn, falling back into the pack. Alex Martin inherited the lead with Jeremy Martin behind him. About 8 minutes into the moto, Alex Martin cased a jump allowing Jeremy Martin to take the lead, while Alex held on to second. Halfway through the moto, Alex Martin crashed and fell back to 11th place. Jeremy Martin cruised to victory after taking the lead.
250 Moto 2
Alex Martin shot to the front with Sean Cantrell following him. Dylan Ferrandis quickly made his way up to second place. Ferrandis stayed within 2 seconds of Alex Martin for the whole moto and was able to take advantage when Alex Martin crashed with 2 laps to go. Alex Martin lost another position just before the checkered flag when Shane McElrath made a pass. Jeremy Martin crashed out of the race on the opening lap.

450 Moto 1
Ken Roczen started first with Eli Tomac tight on his back wheel for most of the early laps. Tomac finally snuck past Roczen about 10 minutes into the moto. Two minutes later, Roczen lost second place to Justin Barcia. Once getting the lead, Tomac was unchallenged for the win. Marvin Musquin had an early tip over and fought back for a fifth-place finish.
450 Moto 2
Roczen again had the early lead but didn’t hold it long as Justin Barcia got past him on the first lap. Barcia held the lead for a few laps before Musquin came along and snagged the lead about 8 minutes into the moto. Barcia and Musquin flip-flopped one more time before Musquin began pulling away with a lead he wouldn’t relinquish again. Tomac started in about 20th place and worked his way through the pack. With about 7 minutes left he moved into third place which put him in position for the overall win.
