New Orleans AX, the race no one wanted to win!!

 New Orleans, the race no one wanted to win!! 

What a crazy weekend of racing with many different leaders, but no one seemed like they wanted to stay there. In the first main, Faith was out front for half the race until a miss-step in the rhythm dropped him back in the back. Then Jace took over the lead spot and opened up a 4 second lead only to give it away on the last lap with a spill in the whoops. Giving Herrlein his first main event win of the year. Ben finished up in 2^nd with Jace regrouping to finish 3^rd.

Main event started out with Sewell in first, followed by Lamay, Blose, Owen and Herrlein. Blose moved up to second and was putting pressure on Sewell, but neither of them was in it for the overall. Jace took himself out it by tangling with a lapper dropping him back a few places. Now it was between Ben and Herrlein. Ben made a small mistake allowing Herrlein to get by, this gave him the overall and Ben had to settle for second (his first podium of the year). Jace got back to sixth giving him a fourth for the night. 

With Ben’s recent podium and Jace 12 main event wins, we are in a great place going into the reset this coming weekend.
