After getting off to a slow start in test one, Fahringer flexed his muscles in test two, claiming the first of his two test wins on the day, however Mullins still maintained the overall lead and would do so for the remainder of the race. Fahringer won again in the third test,Sportbike Parts, which kept him within striking distance of Mullins for the time being. Meanwhile,motorcycle gear, Bobbitt was the only other rider besides Mullins and Fahringer to win a test, and did so in the fourth test, beating out Mullins by 12 seconds.

In the end, Mullins took the overall victory by a minute and 23 seconds over Fahringer, with Bobbitt rounding out the podium another 42 seconds back. “It was good to get another win,” said Mullins. “It was slick out there, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be after all the rain we got.”A tough time in test four cost DeLong valuable time and the Pennsylvania rider finished out the day in fourth, while eight-time national champ Mike Lafferty rounded out the top five on his factory Husaberg. South Carolina KTM rider Grant Baylor beat out AmPro Yamaha’s Jesse Groemm for sixth.
