"Harley won Springfield [Woohoo]!" Coolbeth, Jr. said. Smith,
riding the No. 42 Crosley/Howerton Kawasaki Ninja 650, led every
lap, twenty-four of them, but let Coolbeth slip past him on the
last one.
"I tried a little bit (to pass Bryan Smith before the final
lap)," said Coolbeth, Jr. "But I knew I wouldn't get all the way
around him going down the straightaway like a legit draft pass,
so I just buried it off in there just like I did when I beat him
the other time and it worked out. I kind of screwed up coming
out; kind of a little high and spun up, but it worked out." The
victory was the first of the season for the fan favorite, "King
of Cool"
Jered Mees, the defending GNC1 Champion and current points
leader, suffered a mechanical failure, moving Smith within 17
points of Mees, and making the final race at Santa Rosa, CA,
Sunday, September 25th one that will definitely be worth
watching.
