Both MDK KTM Lites riders, Billy Laninovich and Justin Brayton, were lined up for Heat #2 of the Lites Supercross class.
The teammates took off at the gate drop and came side by side around the first turn. They stayed together as they rounded the track for the first lap. Unfortunately they tangled together with a couple other riders near the end of the first lap. Laninovich remounted a lap down but Brayton was unable to finish due to an injured wrist he suffered in the crash.
In the LCQ, Laninovich got out front and led the race to take the win and qualify to the main event. Brayton was forced to sit out the rest of the evening due to the wrist injury from the Heat race crash (the severity of the injury is undetermined at this time).
In the Supercross Lites Main Billy Laninovich came around last on the start and was forced to work his way through the pack to get up front where he belongs. In a hard fought battle he eventually worked his way into 13th for the night as the checkered flag dropped.
