00:00He did, man. Really liked him.
00:02Thanks again to Rocky Mountain ATV MC, the privateer payout.
00:07And for this 450 LCQ, it goes to Jeremy Hand.
00:11And same rules always flow if you get the top four.
00:14If you go through the main, there'll be a bonus.
00:15$1,000 waiting for him.
00:18Thanks again to Rocky Mountain ATV.
00:25Here we go. Main Event Morantz, 78.
00:28Yeah, keep an eye on the inside there of the 7.19 of Vince Friese.
00:32Vince is a dynamic starter.
00:36Is he going to sneak his way through? You betcha he is.
00:39And he put, he went all the way to the outside,
00:43loosened up all the real estate.
00:48All right, here's this rhythm lane.
00:51Here comes Kevin Morantz. He sits third at the moment.
00:5466 of Cole Thompson sits second.
00:58Cole Thompson right there.
00:59This is so nerve-wracking early on until it gets thinned out.
01:04Really got to look over your shoulder.
01:06Protect the inside.
01:07Make sure someone doesn't take a shot at you.
01:10To make a move, you can see Cole Thompson playing it cool right there.
01:16Great run through the whoops.
01:20What do you think about this early scrap up front, JT?
01:23Well, I really think the key here is you want to just be putting in clean laps early on
01:28because you can gain such an edge on the riders behind you
01:32because they simply can't.
01:34They're playing follow the leader.
01:35They're checking up.
01:36They're not able to put rhythm sections together.
01:37So if these leaders can just execute,
01:40they can make life a lot easier for each other
01:43versus getting into battles that are kind of unnecessary for the front.
01:46You're just trying to get into the main event.
01:48Look at the bike's second, the 66 of Cole Thompson
01:51aboard the Heartbeat Hot Sauce Nano Extreme Yamaha.
01:54He's had three LCQ start this year.
01:56No transfers to the main.
01:59So this is a big deal for him,
02:01but there are plenty lining up for a shot for this top four.
02:05This is going to get crazy.
02:07You got Tristan Lane in there,
02:08Kate Clayson, Jeremy Hand, Zach Williams.
02:12I like it.
02:13It's stacked right now.
02:16I mean, one little slip up from hand.
02:20Clayson will be right in there.
02:23Oh, Breeze closes the door.
02:27And I'm going to tell you,
02:29I think Cole Thompson is playing it pretty cool right here.
02:32Here comes Kevin Moranso.
02:34Yep.
02:35Aboard the KTM.
02:36I promised you earlier I'd tell you something about Kevin.
02:39We had a great conversation with him yesterday,
02:41Grant Harlan and Kevin's dad.
02:43Kevin is going to feature in a show in its second season
02:46called Million Dollar Secret.
02:47Maybe some of you know that show.
02:49Maybe you've seen it.
02:50I haven't.
02:50But we did watch the trailer with him yesterday.
02:54It looks pretty cool.
02:55And Grant Harlan's in the background saying,
02:57if you win that million dollars,
03:00I'm kind of like lobbying for a raise.
03:02Well, that's what I'm saying.
03:03Like, yeah, if I'm Grant Harlan,
03:05I'm for sure keeping everything copacetic
03:08between me and the boss man
03:10and definitely lobbying for a ride next year.
03:16Oh, what happened to Vince Friese?
03:18Cole Thompson's grabbed the lead.
03:19I saw Vince back a little bit.
03:21He's lost like four spots.
03:23Yeah, he's right outside the transfer spot.
03:27Dropped back to fifth place.
03:29Tristan Lane's now sitting in the hot seat.
03:31I'll see if Vince can come back.
03:35Watch the top of your screen here on this replay.
03:37See what happened to Vince.
03:39Let's see here.
03:40Going through that rhythm lane.
03:43Everything's good.
03:44Comes out.
03:45Oh, loses his balance.
03:46Oh, wow.
03:48That's what happens there.
03:49And it gets a little bit cross-rutted, I believe,
03:52coming out of that corner.
03:53And the rut just pulled him to the left.
03:56Oh, now it's on.
03:58Oh, boy.
03:59Now it is on up against Jeremy Hand.
04:02Remember, he's the privateer payout man.
04:05He gets through the main event.
04:06There's a bonus going for him.
04:08Yeah.
04:09I kind of noticed something here.
04:11These guys are working these inside lines
04:14when we get back around to the mechanics area.
04:17And I wonder if those lines are going to develop here
04:21later on in the main events,
04:23the 250 main and the 450 main.
04:25Check it out.
04:27Whoa.
04:27Watch Vince freeze right here.
04:30He works this inside and saving some floor space
04:35and then right there.
04:36Keep your eye on those two lines come main event time.
04:39Wow.
04:40This is extra pressure for Vince Friese as well
04:42because he's made every main event this year.
04:45So he's sitting in the hot seat now.
04:48He's got a little bit of ground over Jeremy Hand.
04:50Yeah, he's got some insurance.
04:52If he's able to get by Tristan Lane,
04:54obviously that will be better.
04:56But you're going to have about two laps to go.
05:04So good recovery for the man on the ISRT Kawasaki,
05:08which is the International Supercross Racing Team machine.
05:12He was able to regroup.
05:14He actually got pretty lucky in that off track
05:16where he got off balance and then kind of skewed him left.
05:20And didn't lose too many spots either.
05:22So relatively easy to get back in the transfer position.
05:30Oh, Tristan Lane.
05:32I heard a panic grab coming out of the corner.
05:36And Tristan was in a transfer position.
05:39What a bummer.
05:41Yeah, lap in it.
05:42About a lap and a half to go.
05:44He had it in a bag.
05:45So that has elevated Jeremy Hand into a position
05:50to make $2,000 out of this race alone.
05:55Love to see it.
06:08Final lap.
06:08Yeah, clicking laps right here.
06:11This is going to be, this is going to be Kevin.
06:13Look out, big move on the inside here.
06:16Careful.
06:17Don't be messing with the 719.
06:19Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:20Hold on to it.
06:22Jeremy doesn't need to push it this hard.
06:24Although he's just trying to get some insurance, I guess,
06:26because Zach Williams isn't that far back.
06:28So he gets five minutes freezes and says, see ya.
06:30Jeremy Hand is, man, is determined right now.
06:34He's like, I'll take a third spot.
06:38He's on that Valley Motorsports Honda.
06:41Wow.
06:41There's Kevin Moran's up ahead.
06:43I just went to school here in this last chance qualifier
06:46with these inside lines these guys are taking.
06:49I have a feeling we're going to see more of that
06:52coming up here shortly.
06:54What a determined ride.
06:56Yep.
06:57Really good ride.
06:59Cole Thompson played it cool early in that race.
07:02Biden is time.
07:04Here you go.
07:05Yeah, he did.
07:05For sure.
07:06And was able to capitalise.
07:08Well done.
07:08Cole Thompson.
07:11Superstuff.
07:11Goes through to the main.
07:13Kevin Moran's across the line.
07:14Jeremy Hand up with that.
07:16With a bonus $2,000.
07:18Vince Friese gets the all-important fourth and final transfer position.
07:23Nicely done.
07:25See you in the main, fellas, on a big night here in St. Louis.
07:28We're gonna be back in the evening.
07:28No, a big forest.
07:28If you want to give a little bit to me.
07:28I'll make a little bit more quickly.
