Mees Takes Dallas Half-Mile Win

Reigning Grand National Champion Jared Mees ( No . 1 Indian Motorcycle / Rogers Racing / SDI Racing FTR750 ) penned the latest chapter of a career of Half-Mile heroics with a victorious run in the Mission Dallas Half-Mile presented by Roof Systems ( Round 5 ) at the Devil ' s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite , Texas , on April 22 .

Mission SuperTwins presented by S & S Cycle The premier-class king was onequarter of an early scrap for the lead , along with a trio of Yamaha-mounted challengers in JD Beach ( No . 95 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT ), Dallas Daniels ( No . 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT ) and Dan Bromley ( No . 62 Memphis Shades / Corbin / Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07 ). The opening stages of the contest proved to be a battle of extreme high and low lines . The high line showed itself to be the fast track up the order initially before giving way to a high-risk , high-reward tight-rope line at the bottom . Just prior to half-distance , Mees and Daniels ( second ) exploited that tricky low line to break free and settle into a rematch of their Senoia shootout . Meanwhile , Beach ( 17th ) and Bromley ( sixth ) fell into a five-rider fight for the final spot on the podium after being reeled in by the charging Brandon Robinson ( No . 44 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750 - third ), Davis Fisher ( No . 67 Rackley Racing / Bob Lanphere ' s BMC Racing Indian FTR750 - fifth ) and Briar Bauman ( No . 3 Parts Plus / Jacob Companies KTM 890 Duke - fourth ). Daniels made a couple of determined attempts to zero in on Mees , but never

got quite close enough to make a serious attempt at an overtake . A small bobble on the part of Daniels with less than a minute remaining gave the champ a bit of breathing space . He was then ceded even more as his young rival called off the assault to accept second . The win was the 34th Half-Mile win of Mees ' historic career , placing him just one short of the all-time record held by Scott Parker .

Parts Unlimited AFT Singles presented by KICKER Trent Lowe ( No . 48 American Honda / Mission Foods CRF450R ) can finally call himself a Parts Unlimited AFT Singles presented by KICKER Main Event winner after repeatedly knocking on the door of that landmark achievement for years . Lowe ' s maiden Progressive AFT victory headlined a race that represented a monumental reversal of fortune compared with the four rounds that led into it . After getting off to a slower-thanexpected start to the season , the American Honda-backed Turner Racing team entered the day with just one podium between its talented trio of Lowe , Morgen Mischler ( No . 13 American Honda / Mission Foods CRF450R - third ) and Chase Saathoff ( No . 88 American Honda / Mission Foods CRF450R - second ). The three went straight to the front and turned the first half of the race into a glorified poster shoot for the team , running side-by-side-by-side . Lowe eventually shook free while the pack closed in on second-placed Saathoff and third-placed Mischler , but they ultimately held strong to secure the podium lockout . Defending champ Kody Kopp ( No . 1 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX- F ) was fourth by a mere 0.172 seconds , and Max Whale ( No . 18 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-F ) scored fifth .

Royal Enfield - Build . Train . Race .

With all racers on air / oilcooled Bosch fuel-injected Royal Enfield INT650 parallel twins that they themselves have raceconverted and prepared , star of the weekend was Morgan Monroe , who took the win by five laps ahead

of Kenzie Luker in second , ahead of Zaria Martens by 0.638 second .
