Dustin Evans has taken the opening A-main in 2WD Buggy at the Euro Offroad Series in Sweden heading home Top Qualifier Ryan Cavalieri and Hupo Honigl.

Evans tried a move just after the large Durango double and ended up tangling with Cavalieri, a move the Reedy Race of Champions winner said was a little too aggressive.
