00:00and keep an eye on the inside there of the 719 of Vince Friese. Vince is a
00:04dynamic start-up. Is he gonna sneak his way through? You betcha he is. And he put
00:11he went all the way to the outside, used it up all the real estate.
00:19All right here's this rhythm lane. Here comes Kevin Morantz he sits third at the
00:24moment. 66 of Cole Thompson sits second.
00:29Thompson right there. This is so nerve-wracking early on until it gets
00:34thinned out. Really got to look over your shoulder. Protect the inside. Make sure
00:39someone doesn't take a shot at you. To make the move you can see Cole Thompson
00:44playing it cool right there. Great run through the whoops.
00:51What do you think about this early scrap up front JT? Well I really think the key
00:56here is you want to just be putting in clean laps early on because you can gain
01:01such an edge on the riders behind you because they simply can't. They're playing
01:05follow the leader. They're checking up. They're not able to put rhythm sections
01:08together. So if these leaders can just execute they can make life a lot easier
01:13for each other versus getting into battles that are kind of unnecessary for
01:17the front. You're just trying to get into the main event. Look at the bike second. The 66 of
01:21Cole Thompson aboard the Heartbeat Hot Sauce Nano Extreme Yamaha. He's had
01:26three LCQ start this year. No transfers to the main. So this is a big deal for him but
01:32there are plenty lining up for a shot for this top four.
01:35This is going to get crazy. You got Tristan Lane in there. Kate Clayson, Jeremy Hand, Zach Williams.
01:43I like it. It's stacked right now. I need one little slip up from Hand. Clayson will be right in
01:52there.
01:55Oh, Breeze closes the door. And I'm going to tell you, I think Cole Thompson is playing it pretty cool
02:03right here. Here comes Kevin Moranso aboard the KTM. I promised you earlier I'd tell you something
02:09about Kevin. We had a great conversation with him yesterday, Grant Harlan and Kevin's dad. Kevin is
02:15going to feature in a show in its second season called Million Dollar Secret. Maybe some of you know
02:19that show. Maybe you've seen it. I haven't. But we did watch the trailer with him yesterday.
02:25It looks pretty cool. Grant Harlan's in the background saying, if you win that million dollars,
02:31I'm kind of like lobbying for a raise. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like,
02:35yeah, if I'm Grant Harlan, I'm for sure keeping everything copacetic between me and the boss man.
02:41Definitely lobbying for a ride next year.
02:47Oh, what happened to Vince Friese? Cole Thompson's grabbed the lead. I saw Vince back a little bit.
02:52He's lost like four spots. Yeah, he's right outside the transfer spot. He dropped back to fifth place.
03:00Tristan Lane's now sitting in the hot seat. We'll see if Vince can come back. Watch the top of your
03:07screen here on this replay. See what happened to Vince. Let's see here. Going through that rhythm lane.
03:14Everything's good. Comes out. Oh, loses his balance. Oh, wow. That's what happens there.
03:20And it gets a little bit cross-rutted, I believe, coming out of that corner. And the rut just pulled
03:26him to the left. Oh, now it's on. Oh, boy. Now it is on up against Jeremy Hand. Remember, he's
03:34the
03:34the privateer payout man. He gets through to the main event. There's a bonus going for him.
03:39Yeah. I kind of noticed something here. These guys are working these inside lines when we get back
03:45around to the mechanics area. And I wonder if those lines are going to develop here later on in the
03:53main events, the 250 main and the 450 main. Check it out. Watch Vince Friese right here.
04:01He works this inside. Just saving some floor space and then right there. Keep your eye on those two
04:08lines come main event time. Wow. This is extra pressure for Vince Friese as well because he's
04:14made every main event this year. So he's sitting in the hot seat now. He's got a little bit of
04:20ground
04:20over Jeremy Hand. Yeah, he's got some insurance. If he's able to get by Tristan Lane, obviously,
04:26that will be better. But you're going to have about two laps to go.
04:35So good recovery for the man on the ISRT Kawasaki, which is the International Supercross Racing Team
04:42machine. He was able to regroup. He actually got pretty lucky in that off track. Yeah, he did.
04:47He got off balance and then kind of skewed him left. And didn't lose too many spots either. So
04:54relatively easy to get back in the transfer position.
05:01Oh, Tristan Lane. I heard a panic grab coming out of the corner.
05:07And Tristan was in a transfer position. What a bummer. Yeah, lap it. About a lap and a half to
05:14go.
05:15Oh, he had it in a bag. So that has elevated Jeremy Hand into a position
05:22to make $2,000 out of this race alone.
05:26Let me see it.
05:39Final lap. Yeah, clicking laps right here.
05:43This is going to be, this is going to be Kevin. Look out, big move on the inside here.
05:47Careful. Don't be messing with the 719.
05:50Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on to it. Jeremy doesn't need to push it this hard.
05:55Although he's just trying to get some insurance, I guess, because Zach Williams isn't that far back.
05:59So he gets by Vince Friese and says, see ya. Jeremy Hand is, the man is determined right now.
06:05He's like, I'll take a third spot.
06:09He's on that Valley Motorsports Honda. Wow.
06:12There's Kevin Moran's up ahead.
06:14I just went to school here in this last chance qualifier with these inside lines these guys are taking.
06:19I have a feeling we're going to see more of that coming up here shortly.
06:25What a determined ride. Yep.
06:28Really good ride.
06:30Cole Thompson played it cool early in that race.
06:33Spide-ness time. And here you go.
06:36Yeah, he did. For sure. And was able to capitalize. Well done.
06:39Cole Thompson. Super stuff. Goes through to the main.
06:44Kevin Moran's across the line. Jeremy Hand pumped with that with a bonus $2,000.
06:49Vince Friese gets the all-important fourth and final transfer position.
06:54Nicely done. See you in the main, fellas, on a big night here in St. Louis.
