450 HEAT 1

Malcolm Stewart looked like he had a massive holeshot, but Eli Tomac passed him in the first turn and set sail. Vince Friese tried to pass Stewart on the first lap, but made a mistake and allowed Cooper Webb and Justin Brayton past. Dean Wilson, Justin Hill, Tyler Bowers, Friese and Aaron Plessinger occupied the top nine for most of the race. Tomac finished with a 2-second lead over Stewart.

450 HEAT 2

Adam Cianciarulo and Ken Roczen got out in front of a lot of carnage in heat two. Martin Davalos, Blake Baggett and a number of other riders went down in several piles ups on the first lap. Cianciarulo and Roczen started to check out while Zach Osborne was in third head of  Broc Tickle, back after his suspension on a JGR Suzuki. Jason Anderson and Justin Barcia followed. The sand section was causing difficulty for many riders and that’s where Ken Roczen passed Cianciarulo with two laps to go. On the final lap, Cianciarulo gave it everything to repass Roczen, but didn’t quite make it. Davalos made it up to seventh and Baggett caught up to eighth by the end of the race with Kyle Chisholm getting the final transfer position.
