[QUOTE="CDA, post: 53506, member: 103"] [b]Round #7: Caselli Captures Cherry Creek H&H Win[/b] FMF/KTM Factory Off-Road Racing Team's Kurt Caselli played a patient waiting game perfectly, taking advantage of a loop two spill by Johnny Campbell Racing Honda's Kendall Norman to run to his fifth win in the AMA Racing/Kenda National Hare & Hound Championship Series.
