Kyle Chisholm
Kyle Chisholm was ready to go, rain or shine, when the day began in Seattle. He was happy to be back aboard his 450 machine despite a nasty get off during the week. A crash at the test track caused him to take it easy leading up to Seattle, but x-rays showed nothing was broken so he was ready to line up. Kyle took to the soft and tricky track with ease as he found his speed quickly. By the end of qualifying he had solidified a spot in the top 20 fastest and was ready to drop the gate. In the Heat, Kyle jumped out to his best start of the year as he crossed the green flag in the top 3. He lost one position by the checkers but would go on to the main with confidence. In the final race of the night, Kyle didn't get the start he was looking for and set his sights on moving forward. Kyle did what he does best as he made it all the way up to 11th by the time the checkered flag flew.
CADE CLASON
Cade Clason was excited when the day began in Seattle. His two top 15 finishes from the last two weeks were in the front of his mind as he was determined to make it three in a row inside Lumen Field. Practice began and Cade took a liking to the difficult track immediately. The deceiving dirt made for great traction in some places and he took advantage. By the end of qualifying, Cade had laid down a time quick enough for a very impressive 16th fastest overall. When the Heat began, Cade had determination in his eyes and it showed when the gate dropped. He rounded the first corner inside the top ten and was determined to keep in the top 9. By the time the checkers waved, Cade had done just that as he went straight to the Main. In the final gate drop of the night, he unfortunately did not get the start he was looking for but began to do work. By the end he put himself into the prestigious top 15 position and checked another box off his goal list.
