AMA XTRM Supermoto Championship at Miller Utah

450/Premier

The KTM boys took both heat races just a little bit ago here at Miller. Heat race #1 was Chris Fillmore who pulled out a gap on Jeff Ward and Cassidy Anderson in the 4lap Heat. Anderson was able to work his way past Ward on the second lap and closed in on the top time getter in practice earlier in the day, Fillmore, but it was the HMC/KTM rider that got the win and the pole for the main.

Heat race #2 featured the other member of the KTM squad, Troy Herfoss who pulled a good size gap on Aprilia's Ben Carlson right off the start who in turn was in front of a hot battle featuring first, Dalton Dimick of the XXX Racing Fuels team, then Yamaha's Mark Burkhart sandwiched in between the teammate of Dimick, Robbie Horton. Burkhart was able to work his way past Dimick on the second lap and put his head down to close the gap to Herfoss but the man in Orange was not to be headed. Final was Herfoss, Burkhart, Carlson, Dimick, Horton. Should be some great action come Main event time!

250/Lites

In Heat #1 it was Matt Abbott was taking the holeshot followed by Casey Yarrow and then Lites points leader, Brandon Currie. On the second lap Currie made a pass on Abbott in the second dirt section and started to pull away. Behind Abbott was the battle featuring Johnny Lewis, Casey Yarrow, Andrew Hyder and Danny Casey. The four of these combatants battled through the 4lap event and the final order was Currie, Abbott, Lewis, Yarrow, Casey.

Heat Race #2 was a barn burner with Matt Burton leading Robert Loire, David Pingree and rookie Supermoto rider/Gray Davenport. The race would be a battle royale as Pingree and Davenport caught up to Burton and they all were in a conga line as they came across start finish for the last time.......Matt Burton, Davenport then Pingree all separated by less than a second.

Unlimited

Race #1 was a Darryl Atkins runaway with the fastest man in practice showing the way from start to finish over the rest of the field. Race #2 saw Steve Drew get the win over Josh Chisum and Micky Dymond rounding out the top three.
