St. Louis, MO (March 28, 2015) – Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin passed early leader Jeremy Martin on the Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha to take the lead for good on the first lap of tonight’s final event in the Edward Jones Dome and earn the fifth win of the year and extend his lead to a full 20 points over defending champ GEICO Honda’s Justin Bogle with just two rounds to go in the series.
Musquin extended his kead to 2.9 seconds by lap five of the 15-lapper, while Monster Energy Pro Circuit’s Joey Savatgy was building a sizable lead in third place in third .
Defending class champion Justin Bogle worked his way through the field to fourth place and set chase to Savatgy but was unable to cut into the deficit. Martin finished second and Savatgy finished third.
“To be on the podium is where I need to be, but I want to be a little higher,” said Savatgy on his third podium of the season. “I can’t wait to get on the gate in New Jersey.”
Musquin, who finished second last weekend in Detroit, now has a 20-point lead in season standings with the final race of the championship set to take place April 25 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
“We work hard during the week, and come here prepared to race,” said Musquin. “I had a good pass early on and we battled on the opening lap.”
