Red Bull KTM rider Taddy Blazusiak Wins EnduroCross Opener

Las
Vegas, NV – It was no surprise to EnduroCross fans that after only
two months back on the bike Red Bull KTM rider and defending
EnduroCross Champion, Taddy Blazusiak, came out swinging at the
opening round of the AMA EnduroCross Series to take the holeshot and
eventually the overall win.

It was
Christini/KTM rider Geoff Aaron who set the fastest lap time earlier
in the day for first gate pick going into the heat races. The first
heat was a good battle between Aaron and Blazusiak with Blazusiak
eventually taking the win and Aaron qualifying in 2^nd.
The second heat race was won by FMF/KTM rider Mike Brown. Kyle
Redmond finished 2^nd
behind him to qualify into the main. The top qualifiers in the third
heat were winner Cory Graffunder and 2^nd
place Kyle Redmond. RPM/KTM rider Kevin Rookstool squeaked into the
main event at the last second after taking the win in the final semi
race.

It was
Blazusiak who would grab the holeshot (earning the $750 Girardi
Wealth Management Holeshot Award) at the start of the main event
followed closely by Geoff Aaron. Both riders battled for the first
few laps until Aaron went down in the rock section and handed
Blazusiak a lead he would keep all the way to the finish line. Aaron
eventually recovered from his crash to finish in 2^nd
while Graffunder finished 3^rd
just barely edging out a hard-charging Brown in 4^th.
