After 2 nights of racing which included 8 heat rounds and 5 Main events, Tommy Hedden and Josh Larsen were tied for the overall Championship. They ended up running off for the title and on the first try Larsen seemed to have got an edge on Hedden off the start but Hedden got into him and Larsen went down. On the restart Hedden made the gate and they rode around nearly side by side until Hedden was first to the checkers for his second US Open title in a row. Congrats to both riders who put on a great show. Adam Mittl and Casey Donholt represented NY in good fashion. It was very unfortunate that Mittl got robbed of a potential 3 points in round one last night when he got knocked down and no call was made while he was the overall points leader at the time. He still took third overall with Donholt fourth and Faria fourth.
