Janssen, Second Again in Indiana, Remains Confident
Janssen, Second Again in Indiana, Remains Confident
Cody Janssen looked phenomenal in Friday practice and hoped that would carry over to the weekend of
racing. However, a mechanical failure would hinder him in moto one. Cracked engine cases had his
Honda TRX450R not running at 100%. Janssen later admitted he was fearful that the machine wouldn’t
make it to the finish, but he was able to limp it to the finish line and still salvage a 2nd place finish. The
now 26-year-old spent the remainder of his birthday changing the engine on his ATV so he’d have a shot
at the overall victory on Sunday, but it wasn’t meant to be on this weekend. Cody made a spectacular
pass to get into second place and put a great deal of pressure on eventual winner Nick Moser. For more
laps than not, Cody Janssen was the fastest rider on the racetrack, but he was unable to make the
winning pass. Janssen’s 2-2 finish earned him 2nd overall on the weekend in the Junior 25+ Class, making
it three runner-up finishes in a row. He is still just 9 points out of the lead in the Championship
standings.
