The Dads 4 By Tool & Supply Kids Division started Sunday’s show, returning to lap five of the previously rain-delayed HK Powersports feature race from back on May 17. It was no contest with freshman runner Lucas Sidney taking off under the green flag to capture his first career win at the Mountain with a hard-charging Owen Dupuis and Gracen Gorham rounding out the top three. The Kids returned later on for their regularly scheduled event under the direction of Clayton Houghton. Houghton led steadfast until his car got out from underneath him just after the halfway marker with Lucas Sidney going two for two in Kids Division wins, this time over Gorham and Kiptyn Aldrich.
