GRIT 301 — 250SX 10th — Parker Ross

The high-speed course which was located in Glendale, Arizona was among the fan-favorites in term(s) of venue. The Monster Energy Supercross Tour had traveled here on numerous occasions, and unbelievable speeds were synonymous with this layout in the Southwest United States. A rider who was destined to flourish was that of Parker Ross. And as practice began on Saturday, he attacked the track with the utmost aggressiveness. When sprinting across the start straightaway, he would crouch behind the handlebar with a slight, aerodynamic stance. A plethora of daring combinations were constructed as he escalated amongst the 250SX tier of opponents. He was more than ready to gear-up for the heat race sequences of events. Upon firing from the grate(s), he contended through the first lap with remarkable execution — residing in a position of second, on-par with race leader Lux Turner. However, a near disastrous mistake would send him off of the course just before the green flag was thrown! Nevertheless, he immediately rebounded and charged past opponents including Dominique Thury, Reven Gordon, Logan Leitzel, and Preston Masciangelo...to ultimately claim eighth at the finish line, with a memorable performance being portrayed! For the finalé, as the lights were brightest, he rose to the occasion with excellent aptitude on the motorcycle. He would occupy seventh and do his best to remain within single-digit territory. Though descending a few positions on behalf of passes made by Levi Kitchen, Max Anstie, and Avery Long, he somehow found a revitalized effort through the final stages of the contest. He and Long were then going back-and-forth — using every bit of their arsenal to try and claim the higher standing! It was Ross who was ultimately passed on the final circuit by the KTM competitor...but the effort put forth by Parker was strong enough for the athlete aboard the number forty-machine to claim tenth, in the record book!
