00:00You give $1,000 to it's going to be Avery Long on the AEO Power Sports KTM, but if Avery
00:07makes the main, they'll double it and give him $2,000.
00:10And Avery's fast. He should get this done, but you never know in racing, especially in the last chance qualifier.
00:17Well, anything goes. And this track has had some wild racing so far here tonight because of how difficult it
00:26is and the ruts.
00:26And it's crazy because it looks so good. And then all of a sudden it goes from zero to 60
00:33and no time at all.
00:35Well, we saw a lot of maintenance before this race, so it's going to start good, I would imagine.
00:39It's going to be great right now. You're going to be like, man, these guys are on it.
00:44Then about five laps in. Well, what happened?
00:49Here's the rules. LCQ. Four riders will make the main out of this starting gate.
00:53Everyone else is done for the night. Let's see what Long and the boys can do.
00:58Cards up. Here we go.
01:03And Long, a great start. Camp Arizi on the outside.
01:07But Avery Long with a whole shot.
01:09Man, that was great camera work showing Avery Long.
01:12I mean, he executed that gate drop perfectly.
01:16Yeah, Arizi tried to swing wide, held the gas on a little bit longer, break late.
01:21But Avery was just in the prime position to hold the lead.
01:28Man, how about Revin Gordon makes his first career main event last week on this number 425.
01:33Fast in the heat. Fast in this LCQ up to second.
01:37Camp Arizi, the Italian there, holding on to third.
01:39Keegan Rowley, who made his first ever main.
01:43And the Triple Crown in Houston is in the transfer spot.
01:46JT. Oh, there's Gordon with a problem, JT.
01:48Yeah, you see him having a tough go, and he was in in that heat race, Jason.
01:53He had it locked up.
01:54Unfortunately, Parker Ross, I don't know if Parker Ross was sure of the position he was in,
01:59but he absolutely took Revin Gordon down in that heat race.
02:02He would not be here.
02:03And I think it was just a case of not truly knowing what position they were in on that last
02:07lap.
02:08And Koch there out of Germany.
02:10Remember, he got taken out, or did the taking out, should I say, in the heat.
02:13He's in that pink gear. He's in the hunt as well.
02:15Yeah, you know he ain't scared to go in there. You're exactly right.
02:21Look out, everybody, if he needs to.
02:23And you talked about it, too, at the beginning of this race.
02:26It's like how wild it gets.
02:31Yeah, exactly. You never know.
02:33I want to give a shout-out to Rowley here, who was a downhill mountain bike rider.
02:37Really an up-and-coming star in downhill mountain biking.
02:40Then with COVID in 2021, there weren't any races.
02:43Bought a dirt bike.
02:44He's battling for the spot. That's the 900.
02:46Had not ridden dirt bikes until 2021.
02:49And he's this good.
02:51Oh!
02:52But the move made by Koch up the inside on the 260.
02:56He's got Ores there in the 873.
03:01This field's pretty deep.
03:03Yeah, it is.
03:04And again, with these shorter lanes,
03:08it doesn't allow these riders to stretch out.
03:13It makes it for exciting racing because of that.
03:18So this 260, the rider out of Germany, Koch.
03:21I remember when he made that made at San Diego last year.
03:23He was pumped.
03:24He's got a teammate.
03:25This is, I presume, a German-based team.
03:28Two German riders on this squad.
03:30And he's making it work pretty well right now in the final spot in fourth.
03:35And working on Gordon for third.
03:37And full send through the whoops.
03:41Making the move.
03:42Rowley almost tuned up Ores.
03:44He's got a little insurance now.
03:46Koch does.
03:47Yep.
03:49Battles all over this track.
03:51Long is gone with Camparizzi second.
03:58Now, Gordon, that name's pretty familiar.
04:00His brother's an up-and-coming star at SMX next.
04:03And Revan talked about Landon about that.
04:09Two in Houston so far.
04:10And so, I mean, having him to talk about the track with,
04:14just kind of relate to, you know,
04:16because, I mean, we're doing the same obstacles.
04:17We're on the same track.
04:19And, yeah, I mean, just like any, like, brother connection in the sport,
04:23it's awesome to have him.
04:24And he's at, you know, such a high level now that, you know,
04:28when we were amateurs, it was kind of like I was on the big bike.
04:31He was on the little bike.
04:32So, definitely can relate more now.
04:34And, yeah, I love having him at the track.
04:37And, yeah, hopefully race him soon.
04:41Oh, Ores just went down behind Gordon.
04:43That's going to help Gordon out.
04:44Yeah, he got a little out of control through the whoops and then jumps off course.
04:50Well, that's going to help Gordon on that 425.
04:52The next rider he'll have to deal with, is it going to be Rowley?
04:55Maybe Jorgensen, the rider out of Denmark.
04:58This is the Friesen Group grindstone Kawasaki that Gordon's riding for.
05:03The only team manager in the sport that's a female.
05:06With Carrie Schur, who's running that program.
05:10Been doing it for 20 years.
05:12With the compound in California and the race team.
05:16Carrie's got to be happy.
05:17She said last week, Revin should be making the mains.
05:18He's trying to make two in a row right now.
05:21It's like Koch has caught up to Camparizzi.
05:25Two European riders here.
05:26The Italian on the left.
05:27The German on the outside.
05:29Koch is making up so much time on the whoops.
05:36How much adjustment do you need to do when you mention this track?
05:38How much it's going to change?
05:39How do you know lap to lap?
05:40Yeah, I mean, it's changing every single lap.
05:43But these guys know they have a good read on, you know, where the troubled spots are.
05:47And it was bad, you know, the previous lap.
05:50They'll make an adjustment.
05:54Another shot at it.
05:56Koch trying to make the move.
05:58This is for second.
05:59Avery Long, a big lead.
06:00Young rider out of Minnesota.
06:03Send it to JT.
06:05Yeah, I just want to see how patient Koch is here.
06:08Because there's really nothing to race for.
06:09We saw him get really aggressive with Brandon Ray in that heat race.
06:13And we saw how displeased Brandon Way runs.
06:15So the last thing you want here is another international incident in this LCQ.
06:18If I was him, I would lay up.
06:20But it doesn't seem like he's in the mood for any type of that.
06:23Nah, he's going for an extra gate position.
06:26JT is what he's doing.
06:27Man means business.
06:29Does he make the move?
06:30Oh, no contact.
06:32Barely.
06:33Oh, Camparizzi's looking to run an aim, though.
06:36Oh, no.
06:38Careful.
06:39And as they start battling, watch for Gordon and Jorgensen back there.
06:43And Rowley.
06:47They're closing in.
06:49Whoa.
06:50This is the last transfer, Gordon and Jorgensen.
06:53He's going to have one more lap.
06:56Pressure is on for Gordon.
06:58He's going to have to turn it loose.
07:00Sprint lap like you've never done it before.
07:03And now Gordon has caught Koch.
07:04This is going to be difficult, too, if Koch holds him up.
07:07It's going to put Gordon in a really tough spot here.
07:13Yeah, he's sandwiched with the rider in front of him and behind.
07:16Jorgensen's already made three mains this year.
07:18He's on the outside looking in on that red Honda, though, making the charge of the whoops.
07:23Cuts back underneath.
07:25And Gordon on a perfect.
07:26He's in position right here inside.
07:30He's going to have to be on guard here.
07:32Inside line for Jorgensen.
07:36Oh, no.
07:38Feet up the pegs on launch.
07:40Oh.
07:41And Gordon's down.
07:43Whoa.
07:45I thought he was going to hold on to it.
07:48That would have been an unbelievable save.
07:50I agree.
07:51Checkered flag.
07:52Avery Long the win.
07:54Gordon getting back to the motorcycle.
07:56But is going to miss the main.
07:58Camper is he's second.
08:01Koch and Jorgensen bring it in.
08:04Last lap.
08:05The last chance qualifier.
08:06This guy's absolutely going for it.
08:09And what happened there with Gordon is he just didn't get over that jump coming out of the sand.
08:16And it kicked his feet off the pegs.
08:18And, buddy, he was along for the ride.
08:20And here you go.
08:21Watch what happens.
08:22And he's going to try to get over that.
08:24No, it doesn't even.
08:24Just hits the face of it.
08:26Feet come off the pegs.
08:28Oh, he gets an uppercut from the handlebars.
08:31And, look, he's going to land back on the motorcycle.
08:34Amazing.
08:35But then he gets that plywood's like ice.
08:38Oh.
08:39Good work by the cameraman.
08:40Get out of the way.
