The champ slipped by plus carried on to take the win by 1 . 6 seconds, ending a seven-race winless streak with the 34th victory of his career.

"That's' what we should needed. Eli [Tomac] was riding well early, but he made a mistake and took place. Marvin [Musquin] has been riding well too and got by us, but I stuck behind him, " said Dungey. "The track was really falling apart as the race went on and obtained difficult, but I was able to stick to Marvin, watch his lines, and take advantage late.

"It was a tight track tonight. You needed to be aggressive, " said Osborne. "I got a terrible start, such as mid pack, and barely made it through first turn. It was a struggle. The first couple laps there I used to be really nervous, but I was in a position to make the pass on Joey [Savatgy] and get into the lead and just ride my own race. "

Savatgy came home third, but it marked the 3rd consecutive race that Savatgy gave up the lead, while the late bad luck ended a streak of four straight runner-up finishes.

I'm not a quitter. We've been knocked down a few times and I came up short last year [for the championship], but I'm not really about to let that happen once again.
