Well, he did it again for the third time! Kyle “Can’t Find a Better Man” (Thanks to Matthes for that nickname) Bitterman took home $7,000 for winning the 8th Annual Cody Gragg Memorial Two Stroke Race.
He’s won it three out of eight years and that is pretty cool! Each year the purse for this race increases and this year was no different with over $32,000 up for grabs. This sport can be pretty awesome sometimes. People come together every year in honor of Cody and Chris Gragg and it tugs me in the heartstrings.
I only had the chance to interview Gragg one time in my career and it was right after he finished 12th in a 450 Moto at Budds Creek. He was great to talk to, had a great sense of humor, was very genuine and down to Earth. Talking to him that day will always stick with me in my life.
This year the gate was stacked again with some big names: Noah Stevens, Justin Rodbell, Jack Rogers, Mike Alessi, Matt Burkeen (with one knee), Ezra Hastings made a comeback, Ayden Shive, Jared Lesher, and the list goes on for a BIG turnout!
Here are the full results:
