DeMartile Secures Second Place after Late Race Charge

 

Liqui Moly Beta racing Dare DeMartile claimed a second-place finish at Glen Helen, overcoming an early tip-over. Dare had a great start and claimed the holeshot. But after falling behind the lead pack initially, DeMartile and the team used an early pit strategy to leapfrog into the runner-up spot. Riding his Beta Factory 450, he managed to close the gap on the leader during the final three laps. Although he was eventually slowed by lap traffic in the technical, rocky downhills of the Pro-section, DeMartile held on to finish 20 seconds behind the winner, securing a solid podium and maintaining his position in the title race.

“Round three of the NGPC was at Glen Helen. I’m starting to feel pretty comfortable on the 450, but I just need to minimize some mistakes on the track and stay on point off the gate. Thanks to the team!”
