The forecasted rain was nowhere in sight creating a great day for racing, where Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing/Bel-Ray’s Josh Strang came out with the overall win.

It did not take long for FMF/KTM Factory Racing’s Kailub Russell to make his way to the front as he grabbed the $125 All Balls Racing XC1 Pro Holeshot Award with Obermeyer/MCS Suzuki’s Chris Douglas right behind him. Russell continued to lead the pack through the first lap before feeling the pressure from Strang.
