Nick Schmidt #79 — After missing round 1 due to an injury, Schmidt came out firing in practice. Nick was put in B practice after missing round 1 and was able to qualify 23rd overall. A small goggle malfunction left Schmidt unable to safely finish moto 1. However, after completing moto 2, Schmidt found himself 34th overall for the weekend. Now that he’s got his first weekend out of the way, we expect Schmidt to move forward as the season progresses.
Dustin Pipes #95 — The weekend started off great for Pipes after being awarded the RC Hard Charger award based on his performance from round 1 at Hangtown. When the riding got underway, Pipes grabbed the final qualifying spot out of timed practice at 36th overall. Unfortunately a small get off late in moto 1 left Pipes unable to compete in the second moto. He is expected to return to action this coming weekend for round 3 in Colorado. For the weekend, Pipes finished 38th overall.
Justin Ashburn #455 — After missing the top 36 in qualifying, Ashburn found himself once again in the 450 Consolation race. He got off to a good start but unfortunately, while trying to make a pass for the lead — he went down. In the short four lap race, he was able to climb back to 10th. Ashburn knows he needs to get his TPJ/Fly Racing Suzuki inside the top 40, and that’s exactly what he plans to do going into Colorado this weekend.
Killian Auberson #902 — The Swiss rider came back with a point to prove after missing the top 40 last weekend at Hangtown. Auberson put together two solid performances to get his TPJ/Fly Racing Suzuki inside the top 30 at 28th overall.
