AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series

Tyler O'Hara led home a Bartel's Harley-Davidson 1-2 in the weekend's AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 series race. O'Hara, who started from pole, was engaged in a three-man scrap for the lead with teammate Michael Barnes and Harv's Harley-Davidson's Steve Rapp deep into the contest. Rapp, however, encountered a mechanical issue while leading the pack with just over two laps to go, leaving O'Hara and Barnes to settle the race between themselves.

Rapp's loss was Kyle Wyman's gain. The KLR Group/Vesrah rider was forced to start from the back of the field after crashing in oil on the race's original opening lap. A red flag momentarily stopped the contest and Wyman switched to his backup machine. He then pulled a mini-Blake Young, racing forward and ultimately landing on the bottom step of the podium.
