KYLE CHISHOLM
Kyle Chisholm had finally recovered from his illness that had been plaguing his performances the last couple weeks and was ready to go all in in San Diego. In typical fashion, Kyle had no worries learning the track as he figured out the fast lines quickly, he did what he needed to do to secure his spot in the show and head to the gate. When his Heat began, Kyle was pinched early in the first corner and had his work cut out for him. He did everything he could but would fall just short of qualifying position. Kyle headed to the LCQ, and was ready for action. When the gate dropped, he launched off the line and demanded the number 1 spot early on. He put in one solid lap after another and would be first to see the checkered flag as he took the 450 LCQ win. The Main Event went well for Kyle although he started in the back, he did what he does back and worked up to an impressive 17th overall on the night.
CADE CLASON
After some crazy experiences from Oakland, Cade was ready to put it all behind him as the day began in Southern California. His knee was feeling much better as he did lots of work during the week to regain his motion. Cade looked very strong when qualifying began as he finished up a very commendable 22nd fastest overall. He was set and ready to go racing in San Diego. When the gate dropped for his Heat, Cade unfortunately was forced to the back early. He did everything he could but would end up 12th. In the LCQ, Cade again didn't get the jump he was looking for but nevertheless he would push all the way to the checkered flag. He definitely had the speed, but bad starts would be the cause of his night ending prematurely.
JOAN CROS
Joan Cros continues to show week after week that he belongs in the Main event conversation. It takes a lot of work to reach this level in our sport but he continues to get it done. Joan showed his typical aggression when practice began on Saturday and secured his spot in the show with an impressive top 30 qualifying time. When the Heat race finally began for Joan his luck off the gate took a turn for the worse. He was near the rear of the pack and knew it was going to be tough to move forward in the stacked lineup ahead of him. He would go on to the LCQ and when this one began, it was unfortunately a similar story. He would do what he could but would fall just two spots short of qualifying position.
