Peters started the night by winning his heat and qualified first into the main events.

Main number one went his way as he made passes early and cruised away with the lead.

Kyle Bitterman held down second the whole way, while two-stroke mounted Jered Lesher (Yamaha) worked his way up from fifth to get third. Matthew Curler (Husqvarna) was fourth, while Tristin Moffitt (Yamaha) rounded out the top five.

Peters said after the race he wanted to “conserve my energy,” since the second race flips the running order from the first. An opening win would put him on row two in race two, and while

Bitterman got through turn one with ease and made his way into the lead, Peters and Lesher were forced to work their way through the field.

Peters used the rest of his energy to track down Bitterman, as the number-two Honda “ran out of steam” at the front. Peters, who completed the first lap in fifth, took the win after passing Bitterman three laps from the end, going on to claim a dominant night in Guthrie.

Lesher also got around Bitterman, on the final lap to take second. Bitterman held on to third ahead of Lane Allison (Kawasaki) and Curler.

Peters enjoys a comfortable lead in the championship. He’s currently 41 points ahead of Bitterman while Izaih Clark, who did not compete, is another 23 points back in third. Simone is fourth and Curler fifth. CN
