Meanwhile in the Pro Lites class, it’s a close race for the crown between Lean Six Sigma Racing Husqvarna’s Josh Jackson and Welsh Racing’s Cameron Welsh. The pair are separated by five points with reigning Pro Lites Champion Nicky Reimer playing chase a further nine points back. In fourth is HB Racing’s Brady Tauson followed by Fat Boy Racing’s Dallas Daniels.
The National Amateur title chase is even tighter with 53-year-old Lee Schmidt leading Monarch Honda’s Malcolm Barker by two points. RSR KTM’s Joe Agley sits third followed by Christian Payne, who was promoted to the Pro Lites class after his win at his home race in Bakersfield, California.
