Tommy Nankervis capped off an exciting weekend of racing at the BMW River Gorge Omnium in Chattanooga, TN with a well earned win. DLP Racing sent a strong squad to the race including Thad Dulin, Joey Coddington, Andrew Olson, Chris Judy, Boyd Johnson, and Tommy Nankervis. Racing started out fast with a strong field of riders. DLP rode agressive from the start with the team being represented in all the major moves. Shortly after the half way point in the race Tommy Nankervis covers a dangerous move and soon found himself in a move of three with Matt Windtead from Team Inferno. The trio worked well together and DLP was happy with the move knowing that Tommy was probably the fastest finisher in the group of three. In the closing laps Matt Winstead put in a great attack and found himself with a small gap. Tommy dug deep and found himself chasing Matt with less than half a lap left in the race. Tommy caught Matt in the last 300 meters of the race just as he opned his sprint for the line. Matt was unable to respond and Tommy came across the line 1st for the win.

This time he was accompanied by teamate Charlie Pendry along with Chris Montleone (US National Team), Steve Gordon, and Matt Lee. The group of five quickly built up a large gap on the field with Chalie Pendry doing a big turn of work to keep the move rolling.
