Husqvarna ’ s Thorn Devlin in the final three tests .
After six tests , Toth sat at the top of Saturday ’ s standings in first , while Barnes finished second overall ( first in the Pro 2 class ), and Devlin was third overall ( second Pro 2 ). Michael was fourth overall and second Pro rider , while Tely Energy Racing ’ s Liam Draper was fifth overall and third in the Pro division .
While Saturday ’ s race took place under clear skies and dry conditions , Sunday ’ s event was wet and slippery thanks to an all-day rain that set in over the area .
Toth got off to a quick start in Sunday ’ s mud , taking the win in the opening test of the day . Barnes , however , kept Toth on his toes and would end up splitting wins with the Connecticut rider , with each rider claiming three wins .
At the end of the day , Toth was quickest where it counted and beat out Barnes by 11 seconds for Sunday ’ s win , which also sealed the overall win for the weekend .
“ It ’ s been a while since I won a sprint race ,” said Toth . “ I was riding good this weekend , like I felt like I should have been at the first two rounds . It was very slippery : dry and slick the first day , and then wet and slick today . I laid it down a couple times , but nothing serious .”
