Justin Brayton, showed up in Seattle to compete in the West Lites Supercross class. Brayton got a decent start in his heat rounding the first turn in 4th.

By the end of the second lap he moved into 3rd where he stayed to easily qualify into the main event.
 
Brayton started well in the main event coming around the first lap in 3rd. He soon passed for 2nd and was holding his pace until he made a mistake that caused him to run off the track and dropped him back into 3rd. A couple turns later Broc Hepler made a block pass on Brayton that allowed Brett Metcalfe and himself to pass. Brayton now found himself in 5th. He stayed close to the riders ahead trying to find ways to gain speed and move closer. Unfortunately, near the end, he made one more mistake that allowed Tommy Hahn to pass. Brayton now sat in 6th position where he would finish his night. His 6th place finish moved him to 6th overall for the season.
