EVENT NOTES

It was a three-peat for Brandon Vinson and the Grave Digger team in Milwaukee. Brandon opened the event for the third time in a row with a Racing win, and did so with his fastest time of the weekend. He also made it three-for-three in the 2-Wheel Skills Challenge. But unlike earlier in the weekend, that would be the only two competitions Grave Digger would win. However, the remainder of his finishes were high enough to total 39 points and narrowly edge out El Toro Loco by two points for his third Overall Event win of the weekend.

EVENT NOTES

Saturday afternoon was more of the same for Brandon Vinson of Grave Digger. At the end of the competition, he was able to accumulate the same amount of points as last night (40), but arrived at that conclusion in different fashion. Things did start out similarly, with Brandon opening the scoring with Monster Jam Racing, 2-Wheel Skills and Donut wins. However, he was unable to make it out of Round 1 in the Speedster Obstacle Course and lost a tough battle with Soldier Fortune’s Kayla Blood in Freestyle. It was Kayla’s fifth Freestyle win of 2019, as she leads all competitions in that category. With 80 total points in the last two days, Brandon has put Grave Digger in first place in the season standings, becoming the first athlete on the Triple Threat Series Central Tour to surpass 300 points.

EVENT NOTES

Friday evening in snowy Milwaukee belonged entirely to Grave Digger and Brandon Vinson. Brandon nearly swept the entire event and was in good position to do just that, had he not suffered ATV damage that held him out of the Finals. Apart from that one stroke of bad luck, Grave Digger took all the other competitions, en route to 40 total points and Brandon’s third Overall Event win of 2019. The points he totaled also put him in a tie for the Season Standings with El Toro Loco’s Mark List.
