Durham had one of the best nights of his career. He ripped a holeshot
in the first Supercross Lites East Heat Race, and the Pennsylvania
native continued to deliver as the laps rolled on. He held strong and,
despite an end-of-race challenge by the current series point leader,
finished first at the checkered flag.

 

The Supercross Lites East Main proved to be one of the most interesting
races in the history of Monster Energy Supercross. Racing was well
underway by the fifth lap, until a crash caused the red flag to be
waved,  and forced a restart. Not only were we witness to a red flag and
a restart but, for the first time ever, the race was restarted in a
single-file staggered line. AMA rules are particular when it comes to
restarting a race after three laps, and the riders were forced into a
single-file line according to the position they were in when the race
was red-flagged.

 

Things got going again after the restart, and Durham was back in
action. He quickly made passes and put himself in the third-place
position. He moved into the second spot after a mistake from the race
leader, and held strong for the remainder of the race. He finished in
the runner-up spot, earning the third podium of his career.

Baggett finished just off the podium in fourth, and is looking to get
back on the box this Saturday in Toronto. His top-five finish bumped him
up to fourth overall in the Supercross Lites East point standings.

 

Tickle grabbed another top-ten finish in Indy.

Tickle had another top-ten night in the Supercross Class at Lucas Oil
Stadium on Saturday. He put on a hard charge after a mid-pack start, and
fought his way up to eighth by the time the checkered flag waved. He
now sits 11th overall in the Supercross Class point standings.

 

The Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki boys now make their way across
the border to Canada for the next round of Monster Energy Supercross,
which will be held at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario this
Saturday, March 24. Durham sits in second overall in the Supercross
Lites East Region, with 98 points. Teammate, Baggett, moves up to fourth
overall, with 80 points. Tickle jumps from 13^th to 11^th overall in the Supercross Class, with 95 points.
