In the first moto, Rastrelli was able to take the lead on the sixth lap and battled with the top two riders Joel Hetrick and Chad Wienen. “Joel went down and allowed me to get in the first place position. I just rode hard, but Chad got around me and then Joel caught back up and also got around me. I pushed and didn’t let him get too far away, but it was a tough one. The track was really brutal out there, definitely the roughest one we have been on all year,” explained Rastrelli.
The second moto Rastrelli was again able to take a third place finish for third overall. “I came out fourth or fifth and made it to third pretty quickly. I was trying to put a dent in their lead, but I just couldn’t do it, those guys were on it today.”

Rastrelli thanks his sponsors for helping him to make his podium appearance. “The JB Racing components, PEP Suspension, Goldspeed Tires, and Baldwin motor were awesome. I am looking forward to progressing and getting better.”
This makes Rastrelli’s second consecutive podium appearance, and he plans to maintain the consistency throughout the remainder of the season. “It is a nice feeling, it is definitely good being up there twice in a row. Hopefully we can make it four times before the season ends. We are working hard and will keep plugging away to get on the podium.”
