RedBud has been very good to Cody Janssen over the years, from being the place he made his Pro debut to countless amateur national wins. That being said, this year wouldn’t be as kind. In Pro Class timed qualifier #1, the #25 saw a stator go bad taking him out of the session after just a couple of laps. In qualifier #2, Janssen had a BIG get off on the track’s biggest jump but rebounded to put in a few hard lap. The bad luck continued as Janssen lost all rear brakes in Pro Moto 1, but man did put on a show in Pro Moto 2 where he passed nearly half the class one by one! Cody finished 12^th overall in the Pro Class. In Pro Am, Janssen ran up through the pack again in Moto 1, so going into Moto 2 a win was on his mind. Those plans were dashed a few corners in however, as a slower riders checked up, taking out the #25 in the process. Once again though, Janssen put on a show. Running some of the fastest lap times of the day, Janssen came from a half a lap down all the way back to finish 8^th – if only he could’ve avoided that wreck on the opening lap.

Loretta Lynn’s, the regular season finale, is another place that has always been good to Cody Janssen. Cody once again looks to avenge his loss from a couple years back when his machine gave up the ghost with half a lap left while leading Pro Am (would’ve gave Janssen his first ever Pro Am overall win). He heads to Tennessee looking for a win.

“RedBud wasn’t easy on me.” Janssen stated post-race. “I overshot that big triple by a mile and crashed pretty good, put that on top of how busted up I already am – now I can barely walk. But we put in a few good rides. Both second motos were stellar, but I could’ve won Pro Am Moto 2 – that the frustrating part. But we’ll heal up as best we can and bring our best to Loretta’s! You know that place owes me one! [smiles]”
