“Tonight was a fun race. Getting to lead my heat race was a great experience and shows how far the team and I have come in just a short amount of time. The main event started on the right foot, but with the ruts getting deeper by each lap, I had difficulty stringing together consistent laps early in the race. Thankfully I found a few different lines by the halfway mark that allowed me to bypass the lapped traffic and make up a few positions to finish with a season-best sixth place. I had to work hard for this one, but with a little more practice on the bike, I strongly believe we can battle with the top-five guys.”
