My biggest disappointment of the night comes from Pro Circuit rider, Tyler Bowers. I just personally thought he'd be challenging for the win. After Atlanta, it looks like his battles with back surgery and Epstein-Barr Virus in the off season may have him still getting back up to speed.
The 450 class is causing some post race controversy. KTM teammates Marvin Musquin and Ryan Dungey left the field as the Yamaha of Chad Reed held 3rd. For most the race it looked as if Dungey was comfortable behind Musquin, who was on his way to a career first 450 win. With a lap to go the KTM's were lapping the number 7 of James Stewart, who didn't leave much room for the leaders. Musquin would check up and case a triple section that'd allow Dungey to cruise to the W. Musquin rebounded for 2nd and Reed was still back there in 3rd when the checkers flew.
Fast privateers. Darryn Durham, Dakota Alix, Benny Bloss, Gannon Audette, Marshal Weltin, Paul Coates and Jesse Wentland would all make the 250 main. Nick Schmidt, AJ Catanzaro and Heath Harrison made the 450 main event. All privateers.
Jesse Wentland and the 63 machine had one hell of a day going. The RSR Honda rider would qualify 12th and use a 4th in his heat to transfer directly to the main. After a decent start he'd find himself in 8th and threatening to move forward. Around lap 8 the Kawasaki of Arnaud Tonus would land on the back of Wentland, forcing Jesse to the pits to have his severely damaged exhaust tweaked back to a rideable manner by mechanic Sean Robertson. Wentland would get back on track and salvage a 20th place main event finish. Hopefully this was just a case of the unlucky #13 transponder and we will see Jesse in the top 10 next week.
