TwoTwo Motorsports Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed backed up his opening round win at Hangtown with yet another impressive performace at Freestone going 1-1 for the overall. Reed was garnered with some luck in the form of Ryan Dungey's fuel taking a boil bath in the Texas sun, and capitalized with his second consecutive victory. Note, though, that Villopoto is still showing the speed to match the Reed/Dungey train up front, as he logged the fastest lap of the first moto while coming back from a bad start.
Lucas Oil/Troy Lee Design Hondas Christian Craig continues to impress in his first full season in the 450 class. After grabbing the holeshot in moto 1, Craig failed to break under the pressure of season veterans Reed and Dungey, holding off the duo for some time before eventually falling to fifth. Craig backed up his surprising first moto with a eighth in moto 2, securing seventh overall on the day.

Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Tyla Rattray proved he is going to be a force throughout the series with his performance at Freestone. Rattray set the fastest lap in the first moto en route to a second place finish. Rattray then stalked down GEICO Hondas Justin Barcia in the second moto to secure the overall on the day.
Kilbarger Racing's Nico Izzi is beginning to regain his form after two injury-riddled seasons. Izzi finished an impressive sixth in moto one and was running in the top three in moto two before having to pull off. Izzi only managed a 15th overall finish, but he showed flashes of what made him a hot prospect coming out of the amateur ranks.
Rattray is going to be a force this season.
