KYLE CHISHOLM
Kyle Chisholm has been working hard as he transfers from class to class recently, but it's really starting to show his potential. His speed and consistency seem to continue to increase and with that, so do his results. Kyle came into Colorado thankful that the wind had slowed as the sun rose in Denver early Saturday morning. Kyle went into attack mode as practice began and was looking strong early. He put his name up on the board quickly as he got the fast lines dialed in and secured a very impressive 12th fastest finish in the short qualifying sessions. Kyle’s confidence was flowing as he launched off the line for his Heat race. Kyle fought his way into a top 5 position early on and held on all the way to the finish line. He knew he had most of the guys beat as he rolled up to the line for the Main and it was easy to see as he launched when the gate finally dropped. He came around the first corner just outside the top ten and began his work. He would do what he does best as he avoided the chaos and kept a steady pace. He would end up with a very commendable top 10 and go on to the last round with confidence.
CADE CLASON
Cade Clason was hungry for more before the day even began on Saturday morning in Denver. Practice started as the sun rose and Cade was on it right away. He found his comfort zone quickly in the slick Colorado conditions and was looking fiery. He would continue to attack the track in the two short qualifying sessions and would end up 17th fastest going into the day program. When racing began, Cade didn't get the jump he needed and had some work to do. Coming from the very back, Cade began to make his passes. By lap 7, Cade had clawed his way back to just a few spots out of qualifying position but unfortunately a mishap would end his chances. In the LCQ, he was ready to execute and that he did when the gate fell. He rounded the first corner near the front of the pack and made the pass into the lead in the second corner. As he rounded the next corner, he was unfortunately blindsided by another rider and hit the ground hard. Once he got going again there was no hope due to the time lost but Cade finished strong and showed his heart.
BUBBA PAULI
Bubba Pauli has been really gaining some speed as the 2022 season winds down. Bubba has been carrying the torch for the team as Joan Cros is out with injury and has been riding impressively. It was no different when the sun began to shine on the Broncos stadium, and Bubba was on the gas as the first qualifying session began. Bubba put his name on the board early on and kept it there till the end. In the second session, he found even a bit more speed. He would line up for his Heat and when the gate dropped, he did not get the jump he was looking for. He was forced to the back quickly and was only able to work up to 17th by the end.Unfortunately, the LCQ went a similar way and even worse as he found himself on the ground early on in the first lap. He got up, dusted himself off and finished the race strong. He would call it a day and move on to the last round.
