Hentges Racing Report: ISOC Duluth Nationals
The 20th annual AMSOIL Duluth National was another huge success with thanks to the ISOC team and Visit Duluth! They put on a great show for the fans in attendance and also provided amazing online streaming where 100,000 connections were tuned in to the Pro Final Saturday Night!
Kody Kamm came through the AMSOIL Duluth National Sunday show with something to prove. And he did just that by winning his first Pro Lite race of his career and doing it in convincing fashion.
Kamm got the holeshot and led from flag to flag as he pulled on the field and left a statement of how he plans on running the entire season….nearly untouchable! Kamm was tangled at the start of the Pro Lite Saturday event and when he was able to get free he was already nearly two laps down but still put up the fastest laps of the race. This was a great way for Kamm to start the season and he will be a fun rider to follow all season. As team owner Nate Hentges stated, “I couldn’t be more proud of Kody and I look forward to a long career with Kody at Hentges Racing!”
TJ Gulla Returns to the Podium!
TJ Gulla returned to form as he looked as strong as ever while defeating the track that ended his season extremely early just two seasons ago. He was strong all weekend with a sixth place finish on Saturday and solid second on Sunday. He left the weekend tied with Tucker Hibbert at the two spot in points.
“I was just happy to start the season with such a good weekend and I could not have done it without the help of my team and sponsors, they stood behind me even when the times weren’t great, but now we are back,” says Gulla.
Brett Bender also looked blistering fast with a few heat race wins but ended the weekend without a podium spot.
