Who won the rained out AMA 250 National in Loretta Lynn?!
For the second time in a row, the course located on the ranch of the legendary Country singer “Loretta Lynn” was the setting for the AMA Nationals. In the 250 class, Dylan Ferrandis won both heats last week, meaning the Frenchman was the big favorite at the start of this race. However, the weather mixed up all the cards, a huge thunderstorm in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee turned the course into one big mud puddle.
In the first moto it was Alex Martin who made a good start. However, the Suzuki pilot soon made a mistake, after which Shane McElrath took over the lead, but he also experienced something, which ultimately resulted in the lead falling into the hands of RJ Hampshire. The man on Husqvarna kept his wits about him throughout the moto, and his engine also held up throughout the moto, meaning he never relinquished the lead in the first moto. Even an emerging Dylan Ferrandis couldn't break RJ Hampshire's concentration, the Frenchman eventually finishing second ahead of Jeremy Martin, Cameron McAdoo and Rookie Carson Mumford.
In the second moto Alex Martin managed to get another strong start. This time the Suzuki pilot made no mistakes and led the second series from start to finish in these difficult conditions. Younger brother Jeremy Martin finished second and also took the overall victory with one; three – two score. This overall victory was also made possible by the fact that Dylan Ferrandis finished 'only' fourth, behind Shane McElrath who crossed the finish line in third. The top five was completed by Cameron McAdoo on his Pro Circuit Kawasaki.
