Mees Takes Victory at I-96, Championship Battle Narrows to Three Points

AMA Pro Racing LAKE ODESSA, MI July 24, 2011 Odessa_CC1.jpgOdessa_Singles_CC.jpgDespite fierce competition at Michigan's I-96 Speedway, the AMA Pro Harley-Davidson Insurance Flat Track field could not stop an assault by Rogers Lake Racing/Blue Springs Harley-Davidson's Jared Mees. Though Mees' race start left something to be desired, the home-state hero almost immediately began picking off riders, working his way up from fifth to take a big win in Lake Odessa that narrowed championship-leader Sammy Halbert's lead to a fragile three points.
