After a solid season of working with Kevin Allen and his TM Racing 450SMX & Husqvarna FS450 during the NEMRR Super Singles championship he was able to secure 2nd place overall in the standings after an amazing battle for the WIN in the rain on the final race weekend. Congratulations to all the riders in the championship, as they put on some epic bar to bar racing all year. And thank you to the companies that have supported the program with their great products and services.
