pasadena Joins Nationwide Effort to Stop Gun Violence City officials and employees will “Wear Orange” on Friday, June 2, 2017 in support of City Council’s recent proclamation for Gun Violence Awareness Day. Pasadena’s local effort is part of a nationwide campaign that began in 2013 to help draw attention to society’s burgeoning incidents of gun violence. The city council proclamation read by Mayor Terry Tornek at the May 22, 2017 Council meeting was as follows: Gun violence touches every segment of our society and impacts people of all ages; it increases the probability of death in incidents of domestic violence, raises the likelihood of fatalities by those who intend to injure others; and among those who attempt suicide, it places children and young people at increased risk of physical harm and injury, and disproportionately affects communities of color. Whereas, Gun Violence Awareness Day was created to honor the many lives that have been cut short by gun violence in our country and to support efforts to reduce gun-related crimes in the United States. It is important to recognize commu-

nity organizations, which assist families that have been directly impacted by gun violence and provide a continuum of care to grieving parents or spouses who must continue to provide for surviving family members. The City supports continued statewide efforts to strengthen gun safety laws and educate the community on safe gun storage. It is appropriate to set aside a day to honor those Americans whose lives are cut short each year by gun violence, and the countless survivors whose lives are forever altered. Now, therefore, I, Terry Tornek, Mayor of the City of Pasadena, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim June 2, 2017 in Pasadena as Gun Violence Awareness Day and urge all citizens, businesses, organizations, and agencies to work collaboratively to reduce gun violence in our community. Join the City and take a stand—and a selfie—against gun violence. Use the hashtag #WearOrange and send it to @PasadenaGov. More information about the #WearOrange social media campaign is online at http:// wearorange.org.
Workshop in Monrovia for Next Light Rail Project Glendora On Wednesday, the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority (Construction Authority) hosted an Industry Workshop at the Double Tree Hotel in Monrovia for the next Light Rail Project. The event drew more than 200 small business representatives and prime contractors interested in upcoming business opportunities with the Construction Authority as the agency begins procurement for the nearly $1.4 billion, six-station Foothill Gold Line light rail project from Glendora to Montclair. Event attendees were given the opportunity to network and meet potential teaming partners before receiving information from key project representatives on the upcoming contracting opportunities and project status and timeline. Attendees also learned about the Construction Authority's Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) program, which has a goal of 16.6 percent participation by SBE’s in all contracts. "Today’s Industry Workshop marks the beginning of the procurement phase for the Glendora to Montclair project; a day many of us have been tirelessly working towards for many years," said Doug Tessitor, Chairman of the Foothill Gold Line board of directors. "With Measure M’s passage last November, the majority of the funding needed for the project was secured; and because the Construction Authority was able to complete the segment from Pasadena to Azusa under budget, we are able to kick the Glendora to Montclair segment off a few years earlier than anticipated in Measure M, using residual Measure R funds." Two significant contracts will be procured

Dr. Lucy Jones ‘Deeply Disappointed’ With Trump’s Proposed Elimination of Federal Funding for Earthquake Early Warning Pasadena, Arcadia and Monrovia Citizens Disappointed; Adam Schiff will hold Press Conference at Cal Tech Today "I am deeply disappointed to see that President Trump's budget proposes to eliminate funding for earthquake early warning in the western US. Eliminating the $10 million/ year that the government has been spending would stop the program and waste the $23 million that has already been invested. The talented scientists and technicians that are working on the project now will go to other jobs, so their experience and expertise would be lost. Many life- and money-saving measures would not be available when the next earthquake strikes. Congress has the responsibility to fund the government, and most of the California delegation have supported the program. My hope is that they will continue to do so. Reducing the government's investment in science will make America less safe. Whatever happens to the USGS funding, I will continue through the Dr. Lucy Jones Center for Science and Society to help Californians use what science we have to make better
decisions for a safer society." - Dr. Lucy Jones Dr. Lucy Jones is the Founder of the Dr. Lucy Jones Center for Science and Society and spent three decades working for the US Geological Survey in Southern California at Caltech.
Dr. Lucy Jones is very troubled by the new administrations plan to cut funding for the Early Warning System for Earthquakes. – Photo by Terry Miller / Beacon Media News
ARCADIA Neighborhood Watch More Important Than Ever The Arcadia Police Department's Neighborhood Watch program is administered by the Community Affairs Office. The mission of the program is to educate community residents regarding their roles and responsibilities in the prevention of crime, and to encourage them to take active measures to prevent crime. The program calls upon residents to step forward and assist the police in organizing the community into a cohesive unit working toward the goal of building a safer, crime-free neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch groups discuss neighborhood crime problems with the objective of developing solutions to local problems. Arcadia Police Officers supply crime information to neighborhood watch organizations and instruct these groups in various crime prevention techniques. As an Arcadia resident, our Neighborhood Watch program is an opportunity for you to take part in reducing crime in Arcadia and increasing your safety by: • Participating in neighborhood watch • Increasing your safety knowledge and awareness • Getting to know your neighbors and neighborhood Our most current campaign is "See Something - Say Something", which means if you see unusual activity in your neighborhood, don't wait to alert law enforcement, pick up the phone and call the Arcadia Police Department at (626) 574-5123 or Dial 9-1-1 immediately. Alert police to anything that may look suspicious. APD wants to ensure your safety, and your call to alert an officer is the best way that you can report important information.

A
nyone familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle expects nothing short of the impossible from his legendary creation. Fans will not be disappointed when Unbound Production’s Mystery Lit staging of ‘Holmes, Sherlock and the Consulting Detective’ comes to the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia. It will run for 19 performances between June 2 and July 1 in and around the Santa Anita Train Depot. Sponsored by the L.A. Arboretum Foundation, this immersive theatre event is a mash-up of three Sherlock Holmes cases, ‘A Scandal in Bohemia’, ‘The Red-Headed League’ and ‘The Adventure of the Copper Beaches’. The 105-minute, two-act play is the first Mystery Lit event from Unbound Productions, which creates the popular Wicked Lit series. Unbound Productions, comprised of Jonathan Josephson (Executive Director), Paul Millet (Artistic Director), and Jeff G.

Josephson notes, “ In 2007 Paul, Jeff, and I began talking about establishing a theatre company that will put on plays inspired by classic literature. We had worked together in various capacities on different productions
all over Southern California and we all had an idea to create dynamic new adaptations of classic literature of the horror genre.” “In 2008 we mounted our first Wicked Lit production at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills which went from downstairs
to the courtyard. Up until that time we hadn’t really considered to be immersive but since that first play we’ve done only immersive style specific theatre. We’ve produced over 40 plays almost all of them world premieres. We’re working in really cool and exciting venues and it’s been fun so far,” Josephson states with obvious delight. History Lit was created in 2011 when Josephson, Millet and Rack decided to bring new life to great literature the reflects history in creative ways. In partnership with the Pasadena Museum of History, with performances at Fenyes Mansion and private readings at Los Angeles-area schools, they produced plays featuring works by distinguished women writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Unbound Productions expanded yet again in 2014 with Mystery Lit when it began a reading of ‘Holmes, Sherlock and the Consulting Detective’ at The Huntington, the Pasadena Central Library, and the Arboretum. This summer’s staging at The Arboretum is the play’s world premiere. Joe Camareno, who portrays Watson in Mystery Lit’s ‘Holmes, Sherlock and the Consulting Detective’ has worked with Unbound Productions in the past. He played the devil in 2014 for Wicked Lit at the Mountain View Cemetery. “I’ve worked with Paul Millet twice – he directed me in a show in 2003 and again in 2014. In the intervening eleven years I did mostly film. But it’s always exciting to go back to theatre and I was happy when they asked if I was interested to take part in this play. They’re extremely professional; they take good care of
their actors. We actually get paid and that’s rare in L.A.,” Camareno laughingly pronounces. This role is a departure from what Camareno has previously done. He explains, “It’s physical comedy and it’s exciting for me as an actor because recently I’ve been doing heavy drama. The show is family-friendly and a lot of fun which I think kids will really enjoy. I imagine parents taking their children to The Arboretum in the afternoon to stroll around the lovely garden, have a light dinner at the café there, then come to see our show in the evening.” Doyle’s cerebral detective, while having enjoyed a loyal following over the years among readers of mystery stories, has seen his fan base broaden to a much younger audience. Robert Downey, Jr. became an unlikely teenage idol overnight when the cinematic iteration of Sherlock came out in movie theaters. The BBC’s version with Shakespeare-trained heartthrob, Benedict Cumberbatch, further extended the world’s fascination with everything Sherlock Holmes. This summer, at The Arboretum, Holmes will again dazzle you with his uncanny prowess at deduction. But this time you’ll be in on the cases as if you were unraveling the mystery with the great detective himself, proving once more that ‘when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth’.

Why Yoga Relieves Stress, Improves Health and Balances Your Life Life is stressful. Between a down economy, long commutes to a job you may not even like, and overbearing bosses, not to mention trying to eke out a few minutes of "me" time in between diaper changes and dinner dates with your significant other, life can be challenging.Equally apparent is that for decades we’ve been told that yoga can combat all of these stressors — and yet, it seems as if it is one of the last things people try to take the edge off. For Leslie Crespi, a social worker in Atlanta, it was the changes she saw in a colleague that got her to consider attending an Inner Engineering program of Isha yoga. A key component to the practice is the "kriya," which Crespi describes to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an interview as a "process to energize and balance the human system using breathing.""The kriya gives me a sense of balance and the ability to deal with life as it is," she tells the paper. "It’s not about what I do anymore. It’s about how I am, and that’s a beautiful way to live."If the thought of having more balance and energy in your life sounds intriguing, the Isha Institute of Inner Sciences may just be for you.Nestled in Tennessee’s spectacular Upper Cumberland (45 minutes outside

in an effort to defend himself. The subject with the handgun, a male, Black, 15 years-old, was struck by gunfire. Another one of the subjects, a male, Black, 14 years-old, was also struck by gunfire. A third subject, a male, Black, 14 years-old, was not hit and ran away when the shooting started.” Officers from the Arcadia Police Department responded and detained the victim and subjects. The subjects were transported to local hospitals to be treated for multiple gunshot wounds. The subject’s handgun was recovered at the scene. The third subject was later located at a residence not far from the shooting scene. This subject was booked at East Lake Juvenile Center for robbery. The subjects remain hospitalized for multiple gunshot wounds. The victim had some bruising to his face, which did not require medical treatment. According to a CBS news report, Reshawna Myricks, mother of the deceased, disputes the Border Patrol officer’s account of the shooting. “I’m hurt,” she told KCAL 9’s Cristy Fajardo. “I’m hurt! I’m hurt, I’m hurt. I’m hurt. You all robbed me to the core…” The Sheriffs Department says the officer told them at about 8 p.m. Friday night that he got off the Gold Line and so did Smith and the other two teens. “Them boys didn’t do that,” Myricks maintains, “they aren’t those type of boys to do that,” Smith’s mother told a CBS newswoman. Investigators are hoping video footage from the Gold Line station at Arcadia will help with the investigation.

Earthquake Costs
The boy’s mother Reshawna Myricks said she cannot believe he’d be involved in a robbery. She said the officer should have fired warning shots instead of aiming at the boys. The family attorney, Lee Merritt, said in a Facebook post Monday that: “Darius was executed.” “…When you research the case you'll hear three black boys (all 15 y/o) allegedly attempted to rob an off-duty officer. There are a few things that caused me to get on a plane and check this out for myself: 1. Darius was executed. He was shot three times in the chest and twice in the legs (from the back as if he was running away). 2. Charvis was shot in the hand and buttocks, running wounds as well. 3. Despite multiple shots from the killer, not one shot was fired from the gun allegedly carried by these boys. (The reports are a toy gun was found near the scene). While he was emptying his clip, they appeared to be running for their lives. 4. The so called robbery would have been taking place on one of the busiest stretches of highway in the region at 8 p.m. (Sun’s still shining) by boys who have to my knowledge never robbed anyone before. I have questions. We demand justice.” The Family has set up a funeral fundraising effort: https://www.youcaring. com/dariussmith-834928 Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.

The victim reported two male Hispanics entered the Verizon store and forced the victim to the ground. The suspects proceeded to grab numerous cellphones and fled the scene westbound on Duarte Road. The victim did not sustain any injuries during the robbery and no weapons were used or seen. Suspect #1 is described as a Hispanic male, heavy set, approximately 20 years-old, wearing a black hoodie, black pants, and a black mask.

The event’s theme honored the city’s hometown heroes, including doctors and nurses, firefighters, police officers, men and women in the U.S. military, and student leaders. “I remember going to Monrovia Days when

success.” The Monrovia High robotics club drew large crowds as club members and coach Brian Johnson gave demonstrations of working robots and detailed the program’s growing popularity.

Pasadena Unified Opens TV Studio At John Muir High School Recently, John Muir High School hosted a celebration to mark the opening of Pasadena Unified School District’s (PUSD) new state-ofthe-art television production studio. The new studio, located on the John Muir High School campus and developed with guidance by the district’s television station KLRN Pasadena, provides students in John Muir High School’s Arts, Entertainment, and Media Academy with hands-on learning opportunities both in front of and behind the camera. The studio is designed to prepare high school students for careers in Southern California’s broadcast television, journalism, and filmmak-
ing industries. The 6,300-square-foot project consists of a multi-camera television production studio, state-of-the-art control room, virtual studio, media lab, and career center. Construction of the TV studio was funded by Measure TT, the $350 million school bond initiative approved by voters in 2008. More information on Measure TT can be found at measurett. org. The project was managed by PUSD Facilities Division project manager George Kwiter and designed by PJHM Architects with the Nazerian Group as general contractors.

ales, habanero-infused IPAs—in short, you’ll want to sample everything on the menu. Most of their beers are offered in growlers (large jugs) or crowlers (oversized cans that seal in flavor and keep the beer ultra-fresh). The beautiful tasting room offers full pints or flights to taste the beer rainbow. The brewery also makes its beers available on tap to restaurants eager to include Mt. Lowe’s local flavors—an angle that the owners hope to expand to more restaurants and even grocery stores in the future. Mt. Lowe’s schedule is never short on fun. Their calendar is a mash of beer-based activities, hosting everything from beer yoga—really!—to “paint and pint” nights to live music, dancing and classic trivia. Local food trucks are frequently on hand with tacos, sushi and more for Mt. Lowe patrons—all which pair great with beer. Though brewing is a fine science, enjoying one needn’t be. Families are welcome at Mt. Lowe, with the beverages available to anyone of age that enjoys a “finely handcrafted brew.” Giving their neighbors something different from your average beer was paramount to Reiling and Nemanich. “We wanted to give the public the choice to drink local rather than global macro beer,” said Reiling. “Beer that revolves around customer demand rather than market domination—that’s what’s important to us.” Mt. Lowe Brewing Company is located at 150 E. St. Joseph Street in Arcadia. Contact them at www. mtlowebrewing.com | 626.244.7593 and get a taste of the goods on Instagram and Facebook @ mtlowebrewing.

rcadia’s first microbrewery is ready to pour you a cold one this summer. Owned by fellow brewers Mike Reiling and Shawn Nemanich, Mt. Lowe Brewing Company has a passion for quality craft beer and a love for local history. Neither owners are new to the entrepreneur game—before launching Mt. Lowe, Reiling owned a home theater and installation company and Nemanich owned a hot rod restoration and repair shop. Yet after years perfecting their craft, enthusiastic beer fans pushed the pair to change careers and bring their brews to Arcadia in 2016. “Arcadia is revitalizing their downtown area, and it seemed like a good fit” said Reiling. “They were underserved in the microbrewery business and the proximity to the freeway, Gold Line station and downtown made the city an obvious choice.” As self-proclaimed history nerds, the two named Mt. Lowe after the scenic electric railroad trolley built in L.A. in 1893—a unique pioneering effort in the United States. That same appreciation for trailblazing drives Railing and Nemanich’s approach to making beer, with a goal to refine—and advance— the science of brewing. They cite their brewing process as nothing less than “crazy meticulous,” shooting for perfection in each batch of freshlymade brews. Mt. Lowe offers a variety of beers, ranging from the hoppy “The Hills Have IPA” to “The Thaddeus,” a creamy, English-style stout named for the railroad’s incorporator. Their American-style wheat beer “Honeyngton Hef” (get it?) even took silver medal at the Los Angeles International Beer Competition. Choice selections also include malty reds, refreshing

3 Concerns Millennials Aren’t Worried About by Monica Sanchez, Editorial intern editorial@beaconmedianews.com
Values and trends recycle themselves, which is why Millennials have inadvertently become the new hippies. That’s probably why society is so obsessed with and shocked by them. All that deviation from traditional values, obnoxious optimism, kale and other green stuff rings a far too familiar tone of the past that some people are embarrassed by and would much rather forget. But the Millennial Dream has come back to haunt those individuals in light of a changing world. Compare Millennials and hippies after reviewing these concerns Millennials aren’t worried about: Millennials don’t care about furniture. The “must haves” for previous generations are a passing thought for Millennials (Goldman Sachs). They don’t feel empty inside if their home lacks a dining room table or the bed is missing a frame. Ever since society has grown more informal, traditional furniture that was once viewed as a necessity is simply an extra expense that no smart Millennial will purchase. Plus, Millennials would much rather spend money on experiences rather than material possessions. If they need furniture,
Are Millennials the new hippies? - Courtesy photo
they’ll go to the thrift store, find something that holds up, and slap some paint on it. Millennials are more likely to attempt DIY challenges anyway because it’s trendy, unique, and inexpensive. Millennials don’t care about home ownership. Millennials have become known as “the renter generation” (Money Marks & Media). Millennials would love to own a home, but more Millennials are putting off commit-
ting to big purchases. Big ticket items, such as cars and tvs, are also not getting a lot of Millennial love, due to the promise of debt. (Goldman Sachs). When it comes to finances, Millennials do not want to rush into anything. After seeing the traditional American lifestyle of incurring debt from previous generations, Millennials feel somewhat jaded about the benefits of big purchases, such as home ownership.
Millennials don’t care about working a 9-5. A 9-5 job position promises employee benefits, such as health insurance and a steady well-paying salary. But when applying to jobs, the first thing Millennials look for are other perks and not the salary or insurance. Some companies caught on quick to this shift in values. For instance, Snapchat and Amazon send job candidates they’re interested in swag bags. And other companies are allowing pets at work, offering free drinks or food, on site psychics, extended vacation days, or anything unique to serve as bait to reel in skilled Millennials. Yes, Millennials and their non-traditional, wanna-be hippie values deviate from the norm. But are they wrong? As human beings, our differences define us. Wouldn’t it be a boring world if we all lived the same life and never encountered someone with different experiences? Before passing judgement, think about how values change as we journey through the stages of life. Remember, Millennials are right where they need to be. Their carefree attitude toward these concerns regarding the standard for living is not detrimental to their livelihood. And in the end, such views bring the diversity needed to challenge us to think differently.
opinion
JUNE 1, 2017 - JUNE 7, 2017 15
Why, I wonder, is society often indignant (and sometimes enraged) when each new generation brings forth fresh thinking that departs from tradition? Monica Sanchez discusses this phenomenon in her excellent article ... particularly Grievance #3, "They have no respect for authority." In my opinion, those Millennials who justifiably lose respect for authority deserve praise, because not all authority is worthy of respect. In fact, among the strongest virtues that brave,
intelligent people have shown throughout history is an ethical disrespect for authority. Consider Henry David Thoreau, who made clear his contempt for a government that used its authority to condone slavery -- and also to orchestrate an illegal war of annexation against Mexico. When government officials (including presidents) have tarnished their authority beyond redemption, what is the inevitable result? A loss of respect for all government representatives, of course! And let's also include religion. Is it really insolent to question the alleged veracity of biblical authority that a ninety-year-old woman gave birth?
Centuries ago, this is what Socrates taught his young Athenian students: "Question authority!" May his advice not only be followed by Millennials, but also engraved in the minds of all future generations! - David Quintero Monrovia

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Highlights: FMF Glen Helen National
ww.filedba.com T
he second round of the 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship featured unpredictable competition at arguably the championship's most dynamic and challenging venue. In the end, consistency reigned supreme at the FMF Glen Helen National, with Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Marvin Musquin and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Zach Osborne emerging victorious. The Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, made its lone visit to Southern California on Saturday for the second round of the 2017 season. The FMF Glen Helen National at Glen Helen Raceway featured near-perfect weather, resulting in a highly competitive and unpredictable afternoon of racing. When the dust settled, Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Marvin Musquin came away with his first career 450 Class win while entering points leader Eli Tomac endured through misfortune aboard his Monster Energy Kawasaki. In the 250 Class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Zach Osborne stood atop the podium again, starting the season with back-to-back victories. The first 450 Class moto saw Musquin claim the Motosport.com Holeshot ahead of the Team Honda
HRC duo of Cole Seely and Christian Craig. Monster Energy Kawasaki's Josh Grant was right behind in fourth, while his teammate Eli Tomac, last week's winner and points leader, started outside the top 10 in 12th. The clear track for Musquin allowed the Frenchman to assert himself into the lead, where he gradually built a lead over the field. Seely was able to establish a solid hold on second, while Grant started to apply pressure on Craig for third, taking over the position on Lap 1. Behind the lead group, Tomac was on a mission, passing three riders on Lap 1, and then another pair on Lap 2. He moved into sixth on Lap 3 and set his sights on the top five. As Tomac continued his climb through the field, Grant was making a run for second on Seely, successfully taking over the runner-up spot on Lap 6. By this time, Tomac was in the top five and still charging. He passed Seely for fourth on Lap 8 and then quickly closed in on Craig for third, moving into podium position on Lap 10. Tomac then set his sights on his teammate for second. He closed the deficit and made quick work of a pass on Grant to take over the position on Lap 13. Despite a late charge, Tomac was unable to catch Musquin, who took the first moto win of his career 5.8 seconds ahead of his rival. Grant followed in third.
As the field roared into Glen Helen's famed Talladega turn to start Moto 2, it was Craig who came away with the Motosport.com Holeshot, closely followed by RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM's Blake Baggett, RCH/ Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's Justin Bogle, and Autotrader/Monster Energy/Suzuki/JGRMX's Justin Barcia. The podium finishers from the first moto were spread throughout the field, with Grant in the top five, Musquin deep in the top 10, and Tomac nearly mid-pack. When the field came around to complete the opening lap, Grant crashed while running fifth. Grant picked up his motorcycle just as Tomac approached, triggering a quick sequence of events that saw Tomac briefly lose control, veer towards Grant, and then straight off the track. Tomac attempted to reenter the race, but appeared to be suffering from an issue with his front wheel or brake. He slowly made his way around the track and into the mechanics area for attention. He eventually returned to the track in 35th, but lost a lap to the leaders. View Highlights and Results on Our Website
