"I'm really happy with this victory, especially since it's in front of my home crowd," said Kevin Petit. "It's my heart's race, a race at home! I had a good start in both races, but I couldn't follow the leaders in the first race. In the second race, I was able to take the holeshot and I managed to stay in the lead until the end. It's a great feeling to win again, especially after a difficult start to the season. I hope this victory will give me confidence for the rest of the championship."
