00:00Here we go, the refs are up.
00:04Gates down.
00:13Abaker said, I'm taking it.
00:14He got it from Nate Thrasher and Davies.
00:17Yeah, a great start about Seth.
00:18He came in there hot, but everybody else let off.
00:21He kept it going and he wanted to get that position, but now he's got...
00:26Davies in the woods.
00:27You know he's quick.
00:28You know he's pretty quick.
00:29Seth is probably just going to do everything just to hold him off.
00:32Don't let him...
00:33Makes a mistake right there.
00:34There it is.
00:35And just like that, Davies to the lead.
00:37What D can say about being slick early in the night?
00:40Yeah, and it's going to get really flippant now.
00:42The track's a lot different from earlier.
00:43Now this Chinese part is going to come out.
00:45They put a lot of water down, so it's going to be tricky for these guys,
00:48as you just saw, Seth make that small mistake.
00:51Here's Cole Davies in New Zealander.
00:53Really a sensation in this sport dating back to a year ago.
00:56Cole in his rookie season when he got two wins.
01:01And that led to a lot of expectation here in year two,
01:04and he's got that points lead and the lead in the heat.
01:06Yeah, and the one thing I've been really impressed by Cole Davies in his young career,
01:09when he's out front, he doesn't let anything bother him.
01:11Like even when Joe was really close to him,
01:13he just kind of continues to do his lines.
01:15As you watch him, Seth to pop in the screen, there's no worries about Cole.
01:19So it makes him hard to beat because he's not going to make that mistake most of the time.
01:24He's starting to get away.
01:26There's Havaker.
01:27Got through the corner clean this time.
01:28And Thrasher in third.
01:31Thrasher's had a very slow start to the campaign.
01:33The team manager for the 250 part of Star Racing, Will Hahn, revealed yesterday
01:37that he was a little dinged up in the offseason.
01:40So maybe not exactly 100% coming into the races here at Thrasher on the 25.
01:45So we'll see if he can rebuild.
01:48Running third right now.
01:50And then further back, Shimoda is in seventh.
01:55There he is on the number 30.
01:58Yeah, Joe didn't have the best to qualify.
02:00It's not like his cover team, but at the same time,
02:02and when you have this, as we mentioned earlier, it's basically a main event.
02:05He was pretty far on the inside.
02:06So I wonder if that star position, because of how qualifying went,
02:10kind of threw him off.
02:11Nonetheless, he's got to make his way up and try to get up.
02:13So as you said, he's close to the points.
02:15He needs those positions.
02:17And what is it about the Club of X riders running in formation?
02:19Just like the West Heat, you have Simonson and Cody Schock wheel to wheel here.
02:26Battling just like their teammates did, and he won.
02:29Well, if they're all working on the stars, they figure it out.
02:31They're going to start up front, either up front or in the back.
02:34But together, either way.
02:36So Shimoda's got to figure out a way to pass two of the Club of X Yamahas.
02:40It's a 49 at Cullen Park on the Phoenix Honda right behind him.
02:45Split leg coming up.
02:48Pretty even so far.
02:50It just seems like now they'll make up that time in the beginning.
02:52See if Joe can hit this triple.
02:55Get up low side.
02:56He needs to close that door.
02:58There you go.
02:59Got it.
02:59That's shock.
03:00He just got around.
03:01And the sensation that is Devin Simonson, practically an unknown privateer just a couple
03:07of years ago, was riding at Club of X on his own, eventually got picked up by the team,
03:12got hurt last year, and this year has come out much improved.
03:15He's been battling for a podium last week.
03:17But here goes Shimoda.
03:19Nice move.
03:20Nice move.
03:21So I was wondering, was Joe going to try to close that door off?
03:23It was a gamble.
03:24But you've got to have, hopefully, Devin would let off.
03:26And he did.
03:27Nice move by Joe.
03:29That's fifth for Shimoda behind Benick, who's third.
03:33Hamaker and Davies.
03:35I'm sorry.
03:36Benick's fourth.
03:37Thrasher third.
03:38And still Hamaker, Davies, two and one.
03:41See if Shimoda can get two.
03:43Benick.
03:45Now we talked about the east and west, and when we combined all these guys, Joe gets
03:49to start in the main event.
03:50Now he has all the west guys.
03:52So that's what you talked about earlier, that big points gap.
03:54All the guys in the east coast, they're going to be a little nervous in that main event
03:57because of that.
03:58Hey, Deegan has a nice points lead, but these guys really can throw a wrench in their program.
04:07Simon said we mentioned that huge improvement for the rider on the 89, battling with his
04:11teammate.
04:11Here's his take on those improvements.
04:18Responsible to the turnaround, man.
04:19A lot of hard work, a lot of long days.
04:21I know that's probably cliche to say, but it's the truth.
04:23And I never stopped believing in myself, as well as the guys around me, man.
04:28They put a lot of belief in me, and yeah, it kind of instilled that in myself.
04:32Yeah, it was pretty wild.
04:34He spent the summer, he didn't even have a ride, wasn't even racing for a motocross,
04:37but still spent the summer doing all the day-to-day training with the team.
04:42And he told me yesterday, yeah, there were times I'm like, what am I doing?
04:45Why am I doing this?
04:46I don't know even if I'm going to get anything out of it.
04:48And then eventually it impressed the team enough to give him a shot on their own squad.
04:52Because Clubamax does allow other riders that are not on the team to ride there.
04:55We catch back up to Shimoda, who has caught up to Dax Benic.
04:59Yeah, Dax is making a few mistakes.
05:01We'll see what happens with Joe.
05:03Drew's going to square them up, get a nice run.
05:06Now he's going to have to figure out if he doesn't in top of Dax.
05:08Nice blocking him by him.
05:10Look at this, bottom box.
05:11That is Pierce Brown, round one winner.
05:13Not even in a transfer position right now.
05:15He's in 12th.
05:17Trying to get around Nick Romano, who just got picked up by the Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki team
05:21as a fill-in for Drew Adams.
05:24Pierce made the pass, but that is only 11th.
05:28Yeah, and that's huge.
05:29Because we go back to the last race.
05:30He was your points leader.
05:31If you don't call, Davies took it over, and he's in this championship.
05:34But if you look at the top, these guys are going back and forth.
05:38Pierce, he doesn't have a visor on, so that probably shows that he went down at some point.
05:41He's got a few more positions to get up.
05:43And that top box, as you mentioned, Shimoda trying to get Benick side-by-side through the woods.
05:50Oh, it gets close.
05:52Yeah, that's going to get close.
05:53I thought Joe might have had it, but he didn't get that will on him, and Dax just stayed into
05:56it.
05:57See, now they're bringing up the two behind him, back in two of them.
06:00They're slowing each other down.
06:02So, as for Brown in that bottom box, Evan Ferry on the very bottom of that shot,
06:06on that red Phoenix Honda, that is the rider in the final transfer position.
06:10Henry Miller on the Kawasaki, it's like, Brown's going to try to get him here.
06:15He does.
06:15Yeah, nice move.
06:17Henry was nice to him.
06:18Got to let him have it at that point.
06:20But Pierce knows he has to get Evan Ferry at this point.
06:23He does not want to be in that last chance in this field right here.
06:28And then you go back to Brown.
06:32He's got work to do.
06:34Kayden Dugney, as well as rookie teammate on the 82, even further back.
06:39Shimona and Benick still battling.
06:41They're still getting them.
06:43A couple passes between those riders.
06:47Hey, Pierce Brown has not been in a L.C. Q. since 2023.
06:50Now, he didn't race much of the year last year.
06:53He does not want to go to a also double-stack with talent, last-chance qualifier, working on Ferry.
06:59Yeah, he should have him right here.
07:00Get on that outside, square him up, get a nice run.
07:03If not, just hit the brakes, try to get on the inside.
07:05But Evan does a good job at trying to block him.
07:07Pierce said, I'll just go around the outside, no problem.
07:10Got it.
07:11Uh-oh.
07:12Uh-oh.
07:12Ferry comes back, and he takes them both down.
07:16Going for that final position.
07:20Oh, bummer.
07:20You can see that.
07:21I mean, Evan had to go for it.
07:22That was for the last, the qualifying position.
07:25But that's the last thing you want to do is take yourself down as win.
07:29It's going to send him and Brown to the LCQ for sure.
07:32It's going to be pressure time.
07:34And Evan Ferry has been through all sorts of physical hurdles, trying to get himself back
07:38into position to race.
07:40And checkered flag, Cole Davies, Cade Saw, dominated that heat.
07:45Bennett's been in a battle the whole time.
07:47First with Shimoda, now dealing with Shock and Simonson.
07:52Good round by holding these guys off.
07:56And there's going to be the final order.
07:58Davies, Hammack, or Thrasher Shimoda.
08:02Bennett's Shock.
08:05Right behind Bennett.
