EX Pro Main Class

Race Winner: Colton Haaker
Podium: 1) Colton Haaker 2) Justin Soule 3) Taddy Blazusiak
Holeshot: Colton Haaker
Most Laps Led: Colton Haaker (12/12)
Major Crashes: Right off the start, Taddy lost the front end in the first turn, and catch up was his new goal. He worked his way from last to 3rd just in time for the checker flag. Mike Brown was in 2nd on the first lap, and although through all the choas we didn't see exactly what happened, Brown dropped to 5th and struggled to regain his position. He lost another spot and finished 6th overall.
Major Incidents: Taddy Blazusiak didn't have the fastest hot lap, he crashed a handful of times during his Heat and had to qualify during the LCQ. Maybe it was the nerves? Justin Soule held it down for Factory Kawasaki moving into 2nd early on. Expect to see an overall from Soule this season.
