Jason Anderson
“Overall I had a good day. I qualified fifth and won my heat race. I got a great start off the gate in the main event and was battling up front all night. The rain made the track super slick, but I knew I was really good in the whoops so I could charge hard and make up time there. It felt good to run in first for a while. My illness from last week was still lingering but I was happy to maintain my strength for most of the main, lead some laps, and take a step in the right direction. Being on the podium is always a great feeling and I look to continue to stay up there.”

“It all went well today. I had good practice and qualifying sessions. The heat race was solid, I went P5 there. Then leading up to the main event I got a little nervous and the jitters were getting to me since it was my first race. All and all it was good, I had a pretty good start but halfway through the main event, it started raining and the track was getting super slippery and technical. I had a pretty good pace for 10 minutes or so, but with the slick track I fell off a little bit towards the end. At the end of the day I'm glad that I finished where I did, and I'm glad that we're staying safe. I learned a lot and will come out stronger next week.”

“I overjumped the quad a little bit in qualifying and went into the berm. I tried to grab the net on the edge of the berm because I didn't have anywhere else to go, and as soon as I grabbed it I felt my shoulder pop out. It's a shame because it was not a big crash just a little mistake on my part, but I couldn't avoid it. My shoulder was popped back into place 30 seconds later and it’s feeling good now, not very painful. I need to sit out and rest and see how my shoulder feels after today and evaluate from there.”
