Fully Pinned Down the Drag Strip

The carbon and aluminum frames charged past the fence line, kits of your favorite racers rushed down the mountain, and a new challenger entered the action. While the battles in Nashville are always fierce between competitors, Mother Nature and the track itself joined in the fight for the Music City Nationals.

Overcoming the rotating concerns that arise when weather makes its appearance to the Pro Series, the entire field had their work cut out for them as the Main Event gates dropped.

Paused after the first moto, the Friday racing ramped back up for an under-the-lights final. Dominant throughout both Friday and Saturday, Alise Willoughby kept her World Championship-winning speed pinned down the drag strip. Taking home the Answer Holeshot win, Willoughby locked in yet another 200 points in Nashville and a couple of gold records for her collection.

The Nashville domination didn't stop there as Kam Larsen took to the blue 30' determined to keep his points lead and get some more USA BMX wins under his belt. Earning his first Men Pro Podium back at the 2021 Music City Nationals, Larsen climbed to the top step for his first-ever Nashville Records.
