The unstoppable Pro Lite rookie Crayden Dillon #96 was looking to sweep the season, winning every Pro Lite final through the rounds in Valcourt. The Canadian was eventually dethroned in New York where he missed the podium by one position. Dillon holds a 47-point lead in the Pro Lite class at the midway point of the season.

Satellite rider Tanner Johnson #313 has shown great speed in his heat races throughout the season. Saturday night in Deadwood, it all came together for Johnson where he took the win in the Sport class. Johnson sits 8^th in points.

Cole Cottew has remained on the sidelines this season due to an ongoing leg injury but can be seen hanging around the pits and track at every race. Despite being “sick of not being on the track,” there is always a classic-Cole smile on his face.

Lineup:

• Francis Pelletier #220 – PRO
• Crayden Dillon #96 – PRO LITE
• Tanner Johnson #313 – SPORT (satellite rider)
• Cole Cottew #14 – PRO (injured)  

 

ONE THREE MOTORSPORTS 

Leading the team in the Pro ranks, Marcus Ogemar #9 has been making large strides in adjusting to his new team and new class. Ogemar earned his best finish in Shakopee, placing 7^th overall in the Triple Crown, after taking 3^rd in his final round. The Sweden native experienced a hiccup in Deadwood after a competitor’s sled landed on his hand, resulting in 13 stitches. Ogemar powered through the pain, despite the medical professional’s opinion, and got right back to racing straight after his trip to the FXR Mobile Medical trailer where he placed within the top 10.

3-time Pro Women Champion, Malene Cottew #93, sits in the lead with an impressive 58-point difference between her and 2^nd. Cottew has had nearly a perfect season, winning every single one of her finals except for two—not to mention a multitude of heat races wins. Cottew secured her 50^th win in the Snocross Pro Women’s class on Sunday in Valcourt and looks to notch on some more.

Lila has shown impressive speed and progress but unfortunately her momentum came to a halt after taking handlebars to the gut in Deadwood. The unfortunate result was a lacerated liver, sidelining her for the remainder of the season.
