The defending Mission SuperTwins presented by S & S Cycle king was well positioned to retain the # 1 plate after outdueling his title rivals the evening before . As a result , he only needed to avoid catastrophe in order to add yet another premier-class crown to his already incredible résumé . Near catastrophe did come , in the Semi , when Mees made the save of the season - perhaps the save of his career - after hitting a bump and going airborne and sideways with his front wheel loft high in the air . Somehow , he not only stayed up on two wheels , but made a pass to take the checkered flag first . With that drama out of the way , Mees basically just had to show up for the Main to win the title . Instead , he chose to fight , executing passes on the likes of Friday winner Jarod Vanderkooi ( No . 20 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750 ) and rookie hero Dallas Daniels ( No . 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT ). Already firmly established as one of the greatest riders in the history of the sport , Mees now boasts a remarkable assortment of accomplishments , including the 2012 , ' 14 , ' 15 , ' 17 , ' 18 , ' 21 and ' 22 Grand National Championships , the 2009 and 2011 GNC1 Twins Championships , and the 2012 GNC1 Singles Championship . The race win went to Brandon

The race win went to Cory Texter ( No . 1 G & G Racing / Yamaha Racing Yamaha MT-07 ), with Dan Bromley second ( No . 62 Memphis Shades / Corbin Seats / Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07 ), Cole Zabala third ( No . 51 Memphis Shades / Corbin Seats / Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07 ), James Rispoli ( No . 43 Wally Brown Racing / Haversack KTM 890 Duke ) in fourth and Kolby Carlile fifth ( No . 36 KC36 Las Vegas Harley-Davidson XG750R ).
