KYLE CHISHOLM
Kyle Chisholm came into Dallas with one thing on his mind on Saturday morning. That was to do everything he could to avoid the dreaded LCQ and transfer directly into the triple crown format which only allows the fastest 18 riders in. Kyle hit the track with determination in his eyes and it was no joke. When it's time to get the job done, he knows how to do it and that’s exactly what happened. Kyle qualified a very impressive 14th fastest and was ready to do battle in the three race format. In the first Main, Kyle was plagued with a horrible jump out of the gate and went to work. He would end up 17th. The next one was a much better story for him as he secured a top 15 finish by the end. Kyle would eventually figure out his starts as he got a much better jump in the final race of the evening. He would do exactly what he does best and push all the way to the end where he would cross the checkers in 13th. All in all it was a great night as his efforts would be good enough for another top 15 finish in Texas.
CADE CLASON
Cade Clason had a similar goal as his buddy Kyle Chisholm going into Texas on Saturday. He was determined to do everything he could to avoid the LCQ before the night began. Cade looked strong as always when the qualifying sessions began. He was looking strong inside the top 18 all day, but when the final session began the pressure was on. Every rider was aware of the situation and the limits were being pushed. Cade did everything he could but would end up 19th fastest and head to the LCQ. When this race began, Cade had determination written all over his face. Cade launched out of the gate and fought his way through the first few corners eventually climbing his way into the lead. He would see the green flag wave and pull away. He would take the win, go on the big screen for the interview and head to the Mains with relief. The first race would see Cade’s best finish of the year thus far with a 14th and he was ready to continue it. Unfortunately the second race didn't go as planned and he was forced to settle for 20th. The third race was looking better for Cade until disaster struck for him off the finish line where he completely faced the landing and was forced to wait for all traffic to go by until picking up his bike and calling it a night. Still a solid night for Cade finishing up 20th overall.
