Racing Action on Thursday

Dean Wilson was the biggest star of the third day of racing at the Air Nautiques/AMA Amateur Nationals at Loretta Lynn Ranch presented by Amsoil, as the Canadae Motosport.com Xtreme Team Green Kawasaki rider scored moto wins in the 450 A Pro Sport and 250 A Classes, giving him a 1-1 on 450s and a 3-1 on 250s heading into the final motos. Fellow Kawasaki rider Blake Baggett would like a title in the A class, the Californian is struggling with his starts, though. He sits with a 5-2 behind Wilson in 250 A but has 1-2 in 250 A Pro Sport class. His closest challenger there is South Carolina's Les Smith. Smith holeshot both motos, crashed back to third in moto won, but held Bagget at bay to win moto two, giving him 3-1 in 250 A Pro Sport scores.

KTM's Jason Anderson was expected to contend for A class titles, but the New Mexico-based rider has been struggling with bad starts and crashes. He did card a third in 250 A Pro Sport moto two for his only podium visit of the week.

The B and Schoolboy classes are supposed to be a notch below the A classes, but Eli Tomac is going so fast in those divisions that he may beg to differ. The Amsoil/Factory Connection Honda rider runs Schoolboy 2 (for 250Fs) and is 1-1 there, and also is 1-1 in his B class.

In 65 (7-11) Mod, Kade Walker won moto won, and took second in moto two to remain in control. In 65 (10-11) Stock, Walker has a 2-2 against Chase Bell's 1-1.

In 85 (9-11) Stock Zach Bell is 16-1, so Blake Green looks good with a 1-2.

Amanda Maheu is dominating the Girls class with 1-1 scores. Keith Johnson and John Boruf are facing off in 25+, Oklahoma's Johnny Marley won the second moto but struggled in moto one. That leaves Johnson with a 3-2 and Boruf with a 1-3 heading into the final moto. All-time Loretta Lynn Ranch king Kevin Walker reaggravated a shoulder injury in the 25+ moto and will not be able to race for the rest of the week.

In SuperMini 2 (14-16) Jeremy Martin and Zach Bell are tied with a 1-2 and a 2-1 heading into the final moto.

Gannon Audette is dominating the 450 B Mod class with a 1-1.

Racing continues with champions being crowned after the third motos today and Saturday.
