Super Tuesday has arrived with racing kicking off at the 8 o’clock hour. They are only getting a few races in an hour due to a site lap for all of the classes but we have already seen some fireworks popping off on the legendary Freestone MX track here in Wortham Texas. You’ve seen the videos, but let’s see if you guys can read (50cc class excluded).
Mini Sr 2 was the first barn burner with Landen Gordon leading wire to wire setting the fastest lap time in the process. Casey Cochran would chase down Kade Johnson on the last lap to grab second.
1st: Landen Gordon
2nd: Casey Cochran
3rd: Jeremy Fappani
4th: Tiger Wood
5th: Kade Johnson
The 250B cass has been decimated with injuries over the last few weeks. First with Daxton Bennick and Gage Linville followed up by Talon Hawkins at Spring a Ding and now add Ryder DiFrancesco to the list after hitting a downed bike in practice bruising his lungs. The racing will go on as Nick Romano and Marcello Leodorico take moto wins. Romano looks untouchable at the moment setting lap times 2+ seconds faster than anyone else in the class.
Division 1:
1st: Nick Romano
2nd: Preston Boespflug
3rd: Caden Braswell
4th: Evan Ferry
5th: Ben Garib

1st: Marcello Leodorico
2nd: JR Reyes
3rd: Ayden Shive

250 A classes have been the Levi Kitchen and Chance Hymas show. Kitchen worked through the pack and hunted down Jett Reynolds in 250A in a very impressive ride. Chance Hymas grabbed the early lead and checked out in his moto. Looking at the lap charts, Levi Kitchen set the fastest lap of the class with a 2:00.534 compared to Chance Hymas’ 2:02.329.
Division 1:
1st: Levi Kitchen
2nd: Jett Reynolds
3rd: Chandler Baker
4th: Cullin Park
5th: Austin Black
Division 2:
1st: Chance Hymas
2nd: Preston Kilroy
3rd: Josh Varize
4th: Jack Chambers
5th: Max Miller
450 A was Levi Kitchen leading wire to wire in his division with Chance Hymas coming through the pack after a mid pack start grab the lead and take the win with one of the more impressive rides I’ve seen in a while. With Hymas checked out Austin Black settling in the second the battle then turn to third place with TJ Rios and Jack Chambers going at it with Luca Marsalisi stalking them waiting for one of them to make a mistake. Much like the 250A main, I can’t wait to see the Levi Kitchen, Jett Reynolds and Chance Hymas battle. Hopefully we can see some spoilers mix it up like Jack Chambers, Cullin Park and Preston Kilroy.
Division 1
1st: Levi Kitchen
2nd: Jett Reynolds

5th: Slade Smith
Division 2

As we check into the 2nd half of the days’ racing we seen Supermini 2 absolutely send it. Haiden Deegan would grab the holeshot and check out before the class even knew what happened setting laps 3 seconds faster than anyone else on track. Casey Cochran would settle into 2nd and Dilon Blecha rounding out the top 3. The sub-plot to the moto was Krystian Janik going down very hard while charging through the pack and will more than likely be out the rest of the week with an arm injury.
1st: Haiden Deegan
2nd: Casey Cochran
3rd: Dilon Blecha
4th: Jude Smerlick
5th: Nate Freehill
450 B did not disappoint with the kids absolutely sending it all moto. Caden Braswell grabbed the holeshot and checked out leaving Nick Romano and Evan Ferry to battle over 2nd and that they did. Swapping positions several times throughout the race until Nick Romano went down, or so we thought. Nick Romano had slid back to 4th but put on an hell of a charge to pass Austin Kapoukranidis and Evan Ferry back to secure 2nd place.
1st: Caden Braswell
2nd: Nick Romano
3rd: Evan Ferry
4th: Ben Garib
5th: Austin Kapoukranidis
51 4-8 Limited is going to be a class to watch heading into the 2nd half of the week with some heavy hitters all trying to make their presence known on the class. Eiden Steinbrecher would take the Division 1 win over Kade Nightingale. Division 2 would see an awesome battle at the front between Jaydin Smart and Saywer Geick until Geick looped out on the landing of a step up taking himself out of contention for the win. Hopefully he is ok to race the LCQ.
Division 1:
1st: Eiden Steinbrecher
2nd: Kade Nightingale
3rd: Anderson Waldele
4th: Austin Keller
5th: Aiden McKidde
Division 2:
1st: Jayden Smart
2nd: Braxton Baldock
