And my starts weren\u2019t where they needed to be, so I gave myself some work and had to make some passes,\u201d said Ken Roczen. \u00a0\u201cWith the races being so short you had to make a plan on the fly and pass when you could, and it got a bit close. But I was strong in the whoops and tried to stay low over the jumps. I had to push hard tonight, and we\u2019ve got some areas where we want to get better.\u201d\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7383\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023WSX_Birmingham_SX2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn the SX2 category, the best of three main events would determine the overall victor.
