Moto 3: Open Pro Sport

On the heels of capturing the 250 Pro Sport title one day earlier, Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Drew Adams entered Saturday’s final moto for Open Pro Sport in control of his own destiny thanks to wins in the previous two motos.

When the gate dropped to begin Moto 3 it was the KTM of Noah Stevens out front for the STACYC Holeshot, but he was quickly passed by the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing machine of Cole Davies. Adams emerged within the top five and showed patience on the opening lap as he settled into fifth.

As the opening laps unfolded it was Davies who continued to lead, while NSA Factory Yamaha Team’s Avery Long gave pursuit from second and Adams following in third. The lead trio remained unchanged through the middle portion of the moto, which is when Adams started his push to the front. The Tennessee native got around Long for second and then erased a deficit of more than three seconds over the next couple laps to catch Davies and seize control of the moto lead. From there, Adams quickly distanced himself from the field.

The Kawasaki rider went unchallenged the rest of the way and easily completed the 1-1-1 sweep of the motos by a margin of 8.8 seconds over Davies, with Long in third. SLR Honda’s Parker Ross was fourth, with NSA Factory Yamaha Team’s Leum Oehlhof in fifth.

Adams capped off an impressive performance at the Ranch with his second championship of the week and sweep of the Pro Sport divisions. Long earned another runner-up finish (7-2-3) to secure second place in each Pro Sport class, while his teammate Oehlhof finished third overall (3-8-5).
