“It was definitely an advantage having clean air,” Marsh said of the start to his race. “I knew Kaden was going to put down a heater behind me, so I set a qualifying pace during the first full lap, and when I came through he wasn’t far behind me still. I just kept pushing hard until I got a flat on the second lap—totally deserved, I hit a rock that was in a shadow, and we were down four minutes after that. Kaden got around us, and then we just played catch up all day long until he had a part failure and we got the win!”
