“The race that year didn’t go great. Jeff Ward and Damon Bradshaw had or had bad luck and I had a bad start the second moto. We knew who we had to beat and it was Team Belgium. I just kept plucking away in the last and final moto and I knew that I had to pass this Dirk Guekens guy from Belgium at the very end of the race. I had to pass him. I followed him for a lap and I put him off the track. I’m not going to lie, I put him off the track with a lap to go and we won. What I remember the most about that was going back to the pits. I was still pretty young then and this guy comes racing back into the pits. He had a full beard and was this 40 year-old guy and he was ready to lay me out, dude! He was going through the roof. I remember Roger [DeCoster] and Dan [Bentley] staying in front of the guy. You do what it takes to win the race and that’s just what I did there.”
