crowd of nearly 9,300 screaming fans at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. It was hard tight racing on the new track that proved to be the Talladega Superspeedway of snocross.In an amazing race for the podium during the AMSOIL Pro Open final, Ski Doo's Tim Tremblay became the first rider to tag a pro final win other than Tucker Hibbert. It was two Team AMSOIL riders that kept the undefeated Hibbert off the box entirely as Ross Martin came in second and Robbie Malinoski rounded out the podium in third. Malinoski took his podium finish
despite starting in the back row after getting landed on during his first round heat race."One of the riders came a little to aggressive and landed on me," said Malinoski. "I thought I was done for the day, but I love racing snowmobiles and the guys on this AMSOIL team gave me a great sled to work with today. It's great to be on the podium after a rough couple and this is a good motivator for the rest of the season."
Hibbert, who finished in seventh in the Pro Open final, did win the Pro Stock final earlier in the day for his 51st career win. Martin's second place finish pushed him in to the overall lead in Pro Open. Malinoski moved into third behind Hibbert.
