September 26, 2009
Russ Pearson takes home the win last weekend in Wendover, NV, his third win of the season. With temps reach 90 degrees and with extremely dusty conditions, Russ managed to take the lead early and stay ahead of Kawasaki's Destry Abbott to take the win and the points lead. Russ now sits at 129 points and the overall lead (with 1 drop figured in).
Kawasaki's Destry Abbott maintained a gap of about 10 seconds behind Russ and rode in his dust all day. The dust was just too much to get around and he had to hope for Russ to simply make a mistake, which never came.
Shock Doctor KTM's David Kamo finished in 3rd, Robert Underwood 4th, and Blais Racing's Morgan Crawford rounded out the top 5.
With 2 rounds to go, the chase for the title is still up in the air between the top 3. Point totals below (with 1 drop figured in):
