250 MAIN EVENT RESULTS
RJ Hampshire won the East/West showdown in Nashville.
Grabbing the holeshot was RJ Hampshire followed by Jordon Smith. Both Pro Circuit riders Levi Kitchen and Cameron McAdoo went down at the end of the first rhythm with both riders slow to remount their bikes. This allows their points competitors to gain many valuable points this evening. Back up front is RJ Hampshire followed by Jo Shimoda with Jordon Smith in third and Tom Vialle in fourth. Hampshire potentially has a chance to take the points lead with Kitchen sitting in last. After trying for multiple laps, McAdoo decided to call it a day and headed back to the truck. Kitchen however was beginning to catch the tail end of the pack, but there were a lot of positions to be made up to gain back the points needed. Haiden Deegan was also struggling, sitting in eighth and not moving forward very quickly. But in the lead, there was no stopping RJ Hampshire from taking home the win.

250 RACE RESULTS HEAT 1 WEST
RJ Hampshire takes the win in the West heat.
In the first heat, the West Coast riders hit the track with Levi Kitchen rocketing out of the gate, he would drift wide however, and allow the majority of the pack to go by as he became pinched off. Taking the lead was Ryder DiFrancesco followed by Phil Nicoletti and Jordon Smith. Smith would begin to make moves forward getting around Nicoletti around the halfway point. Kitchen’s luck turned worse as a pack of riders went down in the whoops including Julien Beaumer pushing Kitchen off the track. On the next lap, a red flag came out as Garrett Marchbanks needed assistance getting off the track, triggering a restart.
The riders lined up staggered in the restart with DiFrancesco back up front as they rushed into turn one. The track is difficult to pass on but RJ Hampshire started making quick moves to get up to the front. On the final lap, Hampshire was on the rear wheel of DiFrancesco and made the pass stick in the whoops taking the win post restart.
