Most of the 2nd motos are wrapped up and the stage is set for the final showdown in the coming two days. Here is a recap of racing on Thursday, Day 3.

At 7:30 a.m., Ty Masterpool once again took the top spot in the Supermini 2 class. His 1-1 puts him in perfect condition to wrap up the championship Friday and give TM racing their first ever Loretta Lynn’s championship!Jacob Souder

It was all out war between these two for most of the 125c second moto. Luis Macias (79) and Jaden Ornellas (50) went back and forth for a few laps until Ornellas would fade and Macias took the win.Jacob Souder
