Pallin wins first Pro Open Main race
Two first-time pro class winners highlighted Saturday’s main event action at round six of AMSOIL Championship Snocross, powered by Ram’s PIRTEK Snocross National, presented by Jimmy John’s at Canterbury Racetrack in Shakopee, Minn.
Capturing the top spot in front of a packed house at Canterbury in the premier Pro Open class was Kyle Pallin (Mystic/Loctite/Polaris), while Tyler Adams (Christian Brothers/Arctic Cat) was tops in the Pro Lite main event.
One of the best starters in the business, Pallin parlayed the Stud Boy Holeshot into the early race lead — much as he’s done in numerous main events the past two seasons. But this time Pallin had it in his head that the Pro Open main event would be his race, his to win — and he did just that, leading the event from start to finish in scoring his first-ever Pro Open class victory.
“Oh my gosh — I could not be more pumped,” beamed Pallin from the podium, flanked by his father, Steve, and Mystic/Loctite/Polaris team owner Levi LaVallee. “I got the holeshot and got out in front and just kept telling myself ‘This is my night, and nobody’s going to take this lead from me.’ So the holeshot was huge, and this was a great win for the Mystic/Loctite/Polaris team!”
On Friday, the extreme cold temps did nothing to freeze the confidence of Ross Martin (Judnick/DuPont/Jack Links/Polaris), who took charge of Friday’s AMSOIL Championship Snocross, powered by Ram, PIRTEK Snocross National in the early laps and ran through strong at checkers for the win.
