00:00Give $1,000 to it's going to be Avery Long on the AEO Power Sports KTM, but if Avery makes
00:07the main, they'll double it and give him $2,000, and Avery's fast, he should get this done, but you
00:12never know in racing, especially in the last chance qualifier.
00:16Well, anything goes, and this track has had some wild racing so far here tonight because of how difficult it
00:25is and the ruts, and it's crazy because it looks so good, and then all of a sudden it goes
00:31from zero to 60 and 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.
00:39Yeah, it's going to be great right now. You're going to be like, man, these guys are on it.
00:43Then about five laps in. Well, what happened?
00:49All right, here's the rules. LCQ. Four riders will make the main out of this starting gate. Everyone else is
00:54done for the night. Let's see what Long and the boys can do. Carves up. Here we go.
01:02And Long, a great start. Camp Arizi on the outside, but Avery Long with a whole shot.
01:08Man, that was great camera work showing. Avery Long, I mean, he executed that gate drop perfectly.
01:16Camp Arizi tried to swing wide, held the gas on a little bit longer, brake late, but Avery was just
01:23in 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. Fast in the
01:33heat, fast in this LCQ up to second.
01:36Camp Arizi, the Italian there, holding on the third. Keegan Rowley, who made his first ever main at the Triple
01:43Crown in Houston, is in the transfer spot.
01:45JT. 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. He had it
01:53locked up. Unfortunately, Parker Ross, I don't know if Parker Ross was sure of the position he was in, but
01:59he absolutely took Revin Gordon down in that heat race.
02:02He would not be here. I think it was just a case of not truly knowing what position they were
02:06in on that last lap.
02:07And then Koch there out of Germany. Remember, he got taken out, or did the taking out, should I say,
02:12in the heat. He'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.
02:20Look out, everybody, if he needs to.
02:22And you talked about it, too, at the beginning of this race. It's like how wild it gets.
02:30Yeah, exactly. You never know. I want to give a shout-out to Rowley here, who was a downhill mountain
02:35bike rider, really an up-and-coming star in downhill mountain biking.
02:40Then with COVID in 2021, there weren't any races. Bought a dirt bike. He's battling for the spot. That's the
02:45900.
02:46Had not ridden dirt bikes until 2021, and he's this good.
02:50Oh, but the move made by Koch up the inside on the 260. He's got Ores there on the 873.
03:01This field's pretty deep.
03:02Yeah, it is. And again, with these shorter lanes, it 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. I remember when he made that main at San Diego last
03:23year, he was pumped.
03:24He's got a teammate. This is, I presume, a German-based team. Two German riders on this squad.
03:29And he's making it work pretty well right now in the final spot in fourth and working on Gordon for
03:36third.
03:37Yeah, full send through the whoops.
03:40Making the move.
03:42Rowley almost tuned up Ores.
03:44He's got a little insurance now. Koch does.
03:47Yep.
03:49Battles all over this track.
03:51Long is gone with Camporese second.
03:58Now, Gordon, that name's pretty familiar.
04:00His brother is an up-and-coming star at SMX next.
04:02And Redmond talked about Landon about that.
04:08Two in Houston so far.
04:10And so, I mean, having him to talk about the track with, just kind of relate to, you know, because,
04:16I 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, it's awesome to have him.
04:24And he's at, you know, such a high level now that, you know, when we were amateurs, it was kind
04:29of like, I was on the big bike, he was on the little bike.
04:32So, definitely can relate more now.
04:34And, yeah, I love having him at the track.
04:36And, yeah, hopefully race him soon.
04:40Oh, 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.
05:02The only team manager in the sport that's a female with Carrie Schur who's running that program.
05:09Been doing it for 20 years with the compound in California and the race team.
05:15Carrie's got to be happy.
05:16She 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.
05:24Two European riders here.
05:26The Italian on the left, the German on the outside.
05:29Koch is making up so much time on the whoops.
05:35How much adjustment do you need to do when you mentioned this track?
05:38How much it's going to change?
05:38How do you know lap to lap?
05:40Yeah, I mean, it's changing every single lap, but these guys know they have a good read on,
05:45you 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.
05:57This is for second.
05:58Avery Long, a big lead.
06:00Young rider out of Minnesota.
06:03Send it to JT.
06:05Yeah, I just want to see how patient-conscious here, because there's really nothing to race for.
06:09We saw him get really aggressive with Brandon Ray in that heat race, and we saw how displeased Brandon Ray
06:14runs.
06:15So the last thing you want here is another international incident in this LCQ.
06:18If I was him, I would lay up, but it doesn't seem like he's in the mood for any type
06:22of that.
06:23Nah, he's going for the extra gate position, JT, is what he's doing.
06:27Man means business.
06:28Does he make the move?
06:29Oh, no contact.
06:32Barely.
06:33Oh, Camparese's looking to run an aim, though.
06:35Oh, no.
06:37Careful.
06:39And as they start battling, watch for Gordon and Jorgensen back there.
06:42And Rowley.
06:46They're closing in.
06:48Whoa.
06:49This is the last transfer, Gordon and Jorgensen.
06:53He's going to have one more lap.
06:55Pressure is on for Gordon.
06:58He's going to have to turn it loose.
07:00Sprint lap like you've never done it before.
07:02And now Gordon has caught Koch.
07:04Oh, this is going to be difficult, too, if Koch holds him up.
07:07It's going to put Gordon in a really tough spot here.
07:12Yeah, he's sandwiched with the rider in front of him and behind.
07:15Jorgensen's already made three mains this year.
07:17He's on the outside looking in on that red Honda, though, making a charge in the whoops.
07:23Cuts back underneath.
07:25And Gordon on a perfect.
07:26He's in position right here inside.
07:29He's going to have to be on guard here.
07:32Inside line for Jorgensen.
07:36Oh, no.
07:37Feet up the pegs.
07:38A launch.
07:40Oh, and Gordon's down.
07:43Whoa.
07:44I 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.
07:53Gordon getting back to the motorcycle.
07:56But it's going to miss the main.
07:58Camper is he's second.
08:00Koch and Jorgensen bring it in.
08:03Last lap of the 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.
08:15And 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.
08:23No, 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.
08:30And look, he's going to land back on the motorcycle.
08:33Amazing.
08:34But then he gets that plywood's like ice.
08:38Good work for the cameraman.
08:40Get out of the way.
