in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. Hagan is
out of the gate first and never trailed and Arend started to lose traction early. He pedaled it
and couldn't get it to hook back up, while Hagan started to haze the tires and mix up cylinders on
the top end, but held on for the win. Hagan wins his first National event win in four tries, and
in the 23 year history of this event the number five qualifier wins.
