Rallying from a one-two win in Daytona, team JGRMX/ Toyota/ Yamaha’s Davi Millsaps finished with his second podium of the season on Scorpion SX front tires and Scorpion MX MS rear tires.
Millsaps, who earned his first podium of the season last Saturday at Daytona, qualified for the main event without incident. “It’s amazing – I can’t thank my team enough,” he exclaimed to the SPEED live broadcast audience. “Toyota, Yamaha, JGR, my trainer, everyone who has been behind me, my mechanic Ben, all my sponsors, FMF, Feld, O’Neal, SIDI, I just can’t thank them enough, you know, pushing me and pushing me getting me up here (on the podium). It was really slick in a lot of sections, pretty much everywhere it was really slick, Pirelli has been working really hard for us and we had the tires really down tonight. I’m just pumped to be up here.”
Teammate James ‘Bubba’ Stewart unfortunately suffered a hard fall early in the heat race and was subsequently struck by two competitors. After a preliminary check-up by the medical professionals at the Asterisks Mobile Medical Unit, Stewart wasdeclared unsuitable to continue racing.
