2004-2005 Indoor Dirt Track Series: Round 5 Sliding in Sturgis Hayden Gillim adjusted to the slick track conditions to win five classes on the night at Round 5 of the KY Dirt Track Series in Sturgis, KY. He nailed the hole-shot in the 85cc short track and never bobbled holding Jake Lewis to second. Shannon Wix was a close third while Curtis Richard worked his way into fourth from row two past Frankie Lee Gillim. Ethan Gillim held onto sixth over Hayden Granda, Nick McFadden, Dillon Atkins, Blake Tabor, Preston Owens and Molly Terry.
Richard went to the front on the TT and led for three laps before Hayden pulled a move to take the lead going into the infield. Hayden rode off for the win over Richard while Frankie Lee held off Lewis for third. Tabor moved up to fill the top five over Atkins, Ethan, McFadden, Granda and Wix.
After easily topping the 160cc four stroke Short Track Hayden went to work on the 200cc Amateur classes. Wix looked for a way around but came up a little short to Hayden on the Short Track. Nikki Spore topped the battle for third by holding off Lewis, Richard, Frankie Lee and Nathaniel Vowell.
