The first main went smooth as usual for Peters. He qualified fastest early in the day and got off to a solid up-front start in the first main event. Peters passed for the lead in the opening laps and stayed in the lead, letting the chaos unfold behind him.
Preston Taylor finished second after leading early on and Blake Gardner rounded out the podium.
Main number two flipped the running order and put Peters in the back row. Moments after the drop of the gate, he tangled with other riders that put him deep in the field.
Brandon Ray looked for redemption after a fall in race one and capitalized on Peters’ misfortune. He got out front and stayed there for the distance, while Peters had to claw and scratch his way through the field.
The defending champ, Peters, managed to get close to Ray late in the race but couldn’t execute a pass for the lead. Peters had to settle for second behind Ray, while Kyle Bitterman rounded out the podium. CN
