Windham was second and David Vuillemin third."This was the cleanest race I have ever been in," said Reed. "I was behind Windham for those laps, looking at the lines he had. He had some great lines, and I was able to take advantage of them."In the 125cc main, Yamaha's Bryan Johnson earned the $1,000 Butterfinger holeshot Award with Travis Preston, Nathan Ramsey, Stephan Roncada and Ivan Tedesco close behind.
