TwoTwo Motorsports Honda rider Reed suffered one of his worst outings of the season in Atlanta, finishing ninth. Reed wasn’t able to get a good start and had difficulty making passes in his quest to move forward through the talented field. Reed is still winless in 2013 and is in the midst of a 22-race winless streak that dates back to Los Angeles last season.

GEICO Honda welcomed current Western Regional 250SX Class rider Eli Tomac to ride in the 450SX Class in Atlanta. Tomac will make the move into the premier class next season and assumed control of Kevin Windham’s machine for the remainder of his break from the Western Regional 250SX Class season. In his debut ride, Tomac rode smart and ultimately posted a seventh-place finish.

“There is so much talent in this class; it really is no joke,” said Tomac. “I learned a lot this race and have some things I want to change on the bike that I hope will help. I need to work on making passes quicker, but overall am happy with how the night went. Hopefully it will all come together in St. Louis.”

One week after signing with BTO Sports KTM to compete for the remainder of the 2013 season, Andrew Short suffered his worst race of the year in Atlanta. Short has not ridden a KTM since the 2011 season and will still need to acclimate himself to the bike, but he will be looking to turn things around in St. Louis after posting his first finish outside the top 10 in 14th.

After an up and down season littered with misfortune, Team Yohsimura Suzuki’s James Stewart definitely needed the kind of performance he provided in Atlanta. The Georgia race tends to serve as Stewart’s adopted hometown event, so he had the privilege of winning in front of a lot of family and friends. After capturing the holeshot, Stewart dominated en route to a wire-to-wire win and his 45th career 450SX Class victory. Stewart reclaimed seventh in the championship standings and has his sights set on a continued upward climb.

“What can I say, we won,” said Stewart. “I felt good and I was just trying to stay in my head and focus. I have to give it up to the Yoshimura Suzuki team. They’ve been working so hard and they’ve stood by me [during] this up-and-down year. Now I’m looking forward to building on this momentum and heading to St. Louis.”

Toyota/Yamaha/JGRMX’s Justin Brayton didn’t have the results he was hoping for in Atlanta, finishing outside the top 10 for just the second time this season in 13th. Brayton will look to turn things around in St. Louis.
