Max Whale – P4
“Today started great and the track was unreal with loads of passing chances, it was exciting. I had a bit of a rough day, and got into trouble in the Heat, which put me in second row and left me a bit disappointed in myself, even though I fought hard in tonight’s Main Event for P4. I’m working hard, the team working harder, so Sacramento in a weekend. Let’s go!”

In contrast to his double win streak at the DAYTONA double opening, Kopp was pushed to the brink by a hungry Chase Saathoff (Honda/Mission Foods CRF450R US No. 88) under the lights at Ventura Raceway .
After some hectic early laps, the two escaped Saathoff’s Turner Racing teammates, Morgen Mischler (No. 13 American Honda / Mission Foods CRF450R) and Trent Lowe (No. 48 American Honda / Mission Foods CRF450R). From that point on, the race became a battle of two drivers for the top titles.
While Kopp controlled much of the tense game from the front, the Honda pilot threw in some late weeders, including a cross, slip and cross double lead change that left fans standing Wake up when the clock is less than 30 seconds.
But the encore of the final round wasn’t on the card, as a small Saathoff moment with two rounds remaining allowed Kopp enough air to power the checkered flag without the need for fireworks.

“Chase is a formidable opponent. He was my fiercest rival and competitor growing up in the 85s, 250s and 450s. Man, it was probably the most fun race I’ve ever been in – we were equal. together. I hope it’s an interesting thing to see.
Mischler held off Kopp’s leading teammate, Max Whale (No. 18 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-F), to claim a second straight podium, while Trevor Brunner of Estenson Racing Yamaha (No. 21 Estenson) Racing Yamaha YZ450F) strikes his way up to fifth after taking the lead in ninth.

First streak and spotless seconds this season with a calm and controlled performance. Route to the top step of the box at the beautiful location adjacent to the ocean.
Daniels’ teammate, JD Beach (Number 95 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT), crossed the first line but held the spot for less than a quick spin of the 1/5 mile clay oval . Beach did a great job of keeping Daniels honest after falling to second and even at one point getting him back.
