Jason was riding really well, and I was struggling to find anywhere to gain on him or try to make a pass. He had to get a little risky in the whoops. I think we both got sketchy through them. I was being very patient and trying not to rush anything. Lap by lap, I just hit my marks. On to the next round in Arizona. After I was in position last week for a possible third, I came back [to the truck and] was thinking it would be so rad to share a red plate with Eli.
This was an absolutely insane race. We were in a battle the whole way, and it was awesome. With the rain and how hardpacked the dirt was, it was very slippery out there, but I just kept my focus the whole way. After making a [first] pass stick on Jason, I hit neutral, and he got me back. I was able to get out front and the pace up there is really fast, and I had pressure the whole time.
I was able to get around Justin [Cooper] and be up front, but then I had some of the fastest guys behind me. Rode myself in and had fun! Thank you team.
All the way up to the main, I was just dwelling on everything too much, but I was able to lock in for the main and somehow get the holeshot, which felt great. It was a great rebound. It was a crazy race. We got a lot of rain heading to the start. I got out front and definitely was testing the limits because I wanted to run up front. I made a few mistakes and almost slid out a few times and then chilled out. I definitely tightened up a little bit. The track was tricky with the conditions, but overall, it was a good night.
We had rain before the main, and I ended up just spinning my rear tire really badly. I was almost dead last after the start, and I just did what I could to come back and was seventh. In the main event, the rain came and I got a lot of wheel spin off the start. Felt great all day! Mother Nature decide[d] to put a spin on things but overall we had a great time! Not much to say, glad I could pull it together somewhat for the main.
