MUSQUIN FINISHES STRONG WITH TOP-FIVE RESULT AT SX FINALE

Round 17 – AMA Supercross Championship

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team had a strong finish to the 2022 AMA Supercross Championship with 450SX riders Marvin Musquin and Cooper Webb finishing fifth and sixth, respectively, at the season finale in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Musquin matched his best qualifying position of the season in second, placing his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION as top seed in 450SX Heat 1. With a second-place start in the heat, Musquin raced behind teammate Webb for most of the race before charging into the lead with one lap to go.

In the Main Event, Musquin got shuffled back to eighth off the start and he went to work early on to make up for lost time. Catching up to Webb on lap six, Musquin put on a charge to overtake fourth halfway into the race and the Red Bull KTM duo continued to battle into the final stretch. With lapped traffic adding another element late in the race, Musquin kept his focus on the podium battle ahead and he fought all the way to the checkers, finishing a close fifth on the night.

With five podium finishes and one Triple Crown victory in 2022, Musquin came away with fourth overall in the 450SX Championship standings.

Marvin Musquin: “Obviously I wanted to finish on a high note but it was a tricky track. I was able to win the heat race, which was satisfying. In the main, I just wasn’t able to get up front. Off the gate, I was pretty far back and I got myself up to fifth but I spent a lot of energy trying to pass some guys and I lost some time. Overall, I’m happy with my season even though there were a lot of ups and downs. We were able to learn a lot with the bike and we still are. We can definitely be better but it was a learning year. The highlight of the season was winning the Triple Crown in St. Louis. It’s an amazing feeling to be able to do that at 32 years old, it’s special for me. I actually made up quite a bit of points in the championship and I was getting closer to getting third but they were strong and consistent. I’m healthy at the end of the season, I always want to do better, but I have to be happy with what I’ve accomplished.”

Webb had a great start to the night, capturing the 450SX Heat 1 holeshot aboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION. He pushed hard to maintain the lead for the first six laps before getting overtaken by his teammate, Musquin, late in the race. Webb finished strong to carry a runner-up transfer into the final Main Event of the season.

Webb had another great jump off the line in the main, battling in the second-place position early on. He settled into the top-five battle, where he was joined by a hard-charging Musquin early on. After getting passed by his teammate, Webb continued to battle in a freight-train formation all the way to the end, claiming a hard-fought sixth at the finale.

With the exception of two rounds, the defending champion consistently scored inside the top-10 all season long, with four podium appearances in 2022.

Cooper Webb: “Today was a little bit better for me and the riding was pretty good. I was able to lead some laps in the heat and ended up second. I got a good start in the Main Event and it felt good to be up front. I made a few mistakes but I had a good fight all the way to the end. I ended the year healthy and at all 17 rounds, so we’ll re-group and get ready for next year and try to go after a championship.”

Jason Anderson Caps Supercross Season with Four Straight Wins

Nate Thrasher Takes 250SX Class Win, Christian Craig Wraps Title

Salt Lake City, Utah, (May 8, 2022) Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson grabbed the final race win of the year at the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross World Championship, Presented by the Utah Sports Commission inside Rice-Eccles Stadium.

The event wrapped up the 17-round series of Monster Energy AMA Supercross racing. Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton rode a steady ride for second and Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia took third in a dramatic race that had the fans on their feet. In 250SX Class racing, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Nate Thrasher took his first victory of the year, besting the top riders from both regions in the season wrap-up Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown. His Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing teammate Christian Craig wrapped up the Western Regional 250SX Class title with an eighth place finish.

When the gate dropped for the final race of the 2022 season, Twisted Tea Suzuki’s Justin Bogle grabbed the holeshot ahead of 2021 Champion Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb, Anderson, and Sexton. Anderson charged early, getting past Webb before the first lap was complete then taking over the lead less than two minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap Main Event. Sexton was quickly into second and the two front runners steadily distanced themselves from the pack. But there was plenty of action behind them.

Third place overall for the season was on the line with only eight points separating Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart, Barcia, and Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin. Less than four minutes into the race, Barcia moved into third place with Webb in fourth, Stewart in fifth, and Musquin in sixth. Stewart was the rider on the move, battling past Webb then getting around Barcia just before the race’s halfway point. Just a few corners later the stadium erupted when Barcia dove across the inside of a 180 degree bowl turn and made hard contact on Stewart. Stewart popped off his bike as if it had vanished beneath him. The Husqvarna rider was quickly back up and charging to regain positions.

The crowd saw the potential for an incredible battle. As Stewart made his way forward the entire stadium was screaming. Stewart was up to Barcia’s rear fender as the clock ticked past zero. On the final lap, a lapped rider briefly held up Stewart and the last lap clash never took place.

At the checkered flag, Anderson grabbed his fourth win in a row, earning his seventh victory in 2022. Sexton was close but not within striking distance of a win and capped the season with a second place finish. Barcia grabbed the last podium spot of the year to the sounds of a crowd that did not approve of the pass that got him there. On the podium Barcia owned the move and reminded the crowd that a season podium position was on the line in the high-pressure sport that awards handsome bonus money to top finishes. As it was, Stewart’s fourth place finish was enough to earn him that third season-overall spot, and bonus, for the year.

The 2022 450SX Class season concluded with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac, who was out healing an injury at the final race, taking his second premier class title. Jason Anderson finished second on the season with seven wins, eclipsing his 4-win 2018 Championship year. And in the tightly-contested battle Stewart grabbed third overall in the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.

The 250SX Class racing in Utah was equally intense. The class’ final race put both regional divisions on the track together in the second of two Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdowns in 2022. With the title on the line, Craig pulled the holeshot but Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence was quickly past and at the front. Lawrence needed a win and needed Craig to finish fifteenth or worse to take the title. The surprise came when Nate Thrasher began to apply pressure on Craig for second place early in the race. Thrasher took the spot and within about one lap was also past Lawrence and in the lead. The top three held steady until Craig crashed in the corner after the whoops. Craig was quickly back up and rode a conservative ride to eighth to secure the title. Thrasher took the evening with a strong win ahead of Lawrence and Utah racer Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Pierce Brown.

The Salt Lake City event also hosted two unique races. In the Supercross Futures AMA National Championship, Team Honda HRC’s Chance Hymas took the title in the series that exposes top amateur racers to stadium events. Also, the KTM Junior Supercross, presented by Wells Fargo hosted a championship round by pitting ten prior event winners throughout the season on identically-prepped electric race bikes. Nixon Meineke earned the win in that event aboard a KTM SX-E 5. The event also gave more strong promotion to the online auction that benefits the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital partnership. The auction marks the race series’ sixth year of partnership; bidding ends on Monday, May 9^th. Items available in the auction can be seen directly at http://est.event.stjude.org/SUPERCROSS or at SupercrossLIVE.com/stjude.

The 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season delivered intense race action, thrills, surprises, and ultimately the resurgence of a previous champion and the crowning of two new champions. The Supercross season runs every year from January to May and will line up the riders again at the start of 2023 to deliver more great racing to motorsports fans. All events were carried live in 2022 and replays can be seen on Peacock.

Christian Craig Wraps Up 250SX Class Supercross Title in Salt Lake City

Craig Battles Both Regions to Earn Championship

Salt Lake City, (May 7, 2022) Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Christian Craig earned his first ever Monster Energy AMA Supercross title with a dramatic performance to capture the Western Regional 250SX Class Championship at the final race of the season. Craig finished eighth at the Monster Energy AMA Supercross World Championship 2022, Presented by the Utah Sports Commission inside Rice-Eccles Stadium. Craig’s number one plate gave the 30-year-old racer the distinction of becoming only the second rider in his thirties to capture a 250SX Class championship in the sport’s 49-year history.

After an early retirement in 2013 due to injury, Craig returned to racing full-time in 2016. This season Craig amassed four wins on his way to the number one plate. Craig lined up for the finale, round ten of his division’s championship, needing only to finish fourteenth or better to secure the title. The unique 250SX Class’ season schedule complicated matters; the race was the second Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown of the season. This unique event put the fastest racers from both regional divisions together on the track fighting for points.

After qualifying with the best time in his region and winning his heat race with ease, Craig raced strategically when the points were being paid in the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown. Craig grabbed the holeshot, but his title rival quickly took over the position. Craig gave up a few more track positions before having a nerve-wracking moment five and a half minutes into the 15-minute plus one lap race when he slid out and crashed. Rider and bike were unharmed, and Craig quickly remounted and finished eighth at the checkered flag to secure his first Supercross title.

Christian Craig’s title marked Yamaha’s and the Star Racing team’s fifth straight Western Regional 250SX Class title, tying only one other manufacturer in the sport’s history to achieve the same championship streak in the class.

The Utah race capped an incredible 17-round 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season of 450SX Class and Western and Eastern Regional 250SX Class racing that thrilled motorsports fans across thirteen states in fifteen different cities. The entire series was enjoyed live and pre-recorded broadcasting on Peacock, NBC, CNBC and the USA Network.

Jason Anderson Wins In Denver, Eli Tomac Captures Supercross Title

Hunter Lawrence Stretches Win Steak and Title Battle

Denver, Colo., (April 30, 2022) Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson nabbed his sixth victory of the season, and third straight, at Round 16 of the 17-round 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. At the daytime race at Empower Field inside Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac wrapped up his second Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship with a fifth place finish after leading early in the race.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart grabbed second place in Denver’s Main Event with Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin earning his sixth podium finish of the season in third. In a thriller of a Western Regional 250SX Class Main Event, also with the title on the line, Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence held strong for the win to take the championship to the final round next weekend.

When the gate dropped Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton grabbed the holehot with Tomac applying pressure to take over from the first lap. Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia sat third at the holeshot stripe but it was Anderson on the move, gaining quickly from sixth to third before the first lap was in the books. Two minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race Sexton’s front tire went over a ledge that ran across the start straight. He spun sideways, grabbed traction, then ran into the mechanic’s area barriers and went down.

Tomac suddenly had the lead. The stadium erupted. The Colorado fans cheered, section by section, as Colorado-native Tomac circled the track at the front of the pack. Anderson continued his momentum forward and was quickly on Tomac and pressuring hard for the top spot. Anderson sat as the only rider with a mathematical shot at the title if Tomac finished fifteenth or worse. Anderson rode around Tomac cleanly before the whoops and Tomac did not counter attack. Just before the race’s midpoint, Anderson was unchallenged out front as Stewart reached Tomac’s rear fender and also got past.

With just under seven minutes left on the race clock, Musquin also got around Tomac, and inside of two minutes left on the clock Tomac allowed Sexton back around. Tomac held steady in fifth place to the end, wrapping up the 2022 Championship, the second of his career.

In the Western Regional 250SX Class, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Christian Craig sat in position to wrap up his first Supercross title with a win or by gaining three points over Hunter Lawrence. When the gate dropped for the Main Event, Lawrence grabbed the holeshot ahead of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jalek Swoll and Craig. Craig was quickly into second place and up to Lawrence’s rear fender. From the first laps Craig applied intense pressure, showing a wheel to Lawrence in more than one section of the track. Craig looked to have the speed, and a line in the whoops that would deliver the championship. Lawrence had said before the race he enjoys the pressure, and he proved his ability to keep his composure as he maintained his sliver-thin lead.

It was Craig who fumbled. Just before the race clock hit the ten minute mark in the 15-minute plus one lap race, Craig slid out on the take-off into the sand section. He dramatically looped as he fell off the bike when he landed. The crash dropped Craig to sixth place as Hunter held a comfortable lead over Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Michael Mosiman. Craig was on the move on the slick, hard-packed track. With just over two minutes left on the clock he passed Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda to keep his podium streak alive for 2022.

Craig goes into the final round in Salt Lake City with an 18 point lead. To complicate the championship-deciding race it will be the second Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown of the year, and Hunter Lawrence’s younger brother Jett will be on the track as the championship is settled between Craig and Hunter Lawrence.

With only one round remaining motorsports fans have only one more chance to catch the incredible action live. Tickets are on sale for the season finale at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Eli Tomac Crowned 2022 Supercross Champion

Second Title Makes Tomac Oldest Champion in Sport’s History

Denver, Colo., (April 30, 2022) Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac earned his second Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship in front of a home-state crowd inside Empower Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colo. Tomac’s fifth place finish at round 16 of the 17-round series gave the 29-year old racer the distinction of becoming the oldest rider to capture the Supercross Championship in the sport’s 49-year history.

Tomac grabbed second place at the start of the Main Event. The crowd went wild when a mistake from the leader put Tomac into the lead and in position to take the title with a victory. The hard pack track was dry and slick, and Tomac played it smart with a protection pace to stay upright. Tomac eventually dropped back to fifth place. On the podium, with the #1 plate in his hands, he revealed that he’d suffered a minor knee injury two rounds prior that had been a component to his protection mode approach.

Tomac joined the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team just prior to the 2022 season in a move that proved successful for both rider and brand. Tomac’s seven race wins thus far in the 2022 series that spans 13 states elevated the Yamaha rider to a tie for fourth place on the all-time wins list. Prior to this season, Yamaha had only amassed two wins between the years 2013 through 2021. Tomac’s #1 plate marks the first premier class championship for Yamaha since 2009.

One round remains in the 2022 season, set for next Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. The season finale marks the fifteenth different city to host a Monster Energy AMA Supercross in 2022. Tomac could tally one more win, moving him closer to the third place spot on the all-time wins list, currently held by 5-time Supercross Champion Ricky Carmichael at 48. Carmichael retired in 2007 and now calls the races from the broadcast booth during the live airings on Peacock, NBC, CNBC and USA Network. In Utah the season’s second Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown, a unique race that faces off 250SX Class racers from both the Eastern and Western regions, will determine the final championship of 2022. Season highlights, videos, results, feature stories and information on ticket sales to the 2022 season finale in Salt Lake City can be found at SupercrossLIVE.com.

Jason Anderson Grabs Foxborough Supercross Victory to Keep Title Hopes Alive

Austin Forkner Wins 250SX Class Race, Jett Lawrence Takes 250SX Title

Foxborough, Mass., (April 23, 2022) In a clutch performance, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson was spectacular at Round 15 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series to capture the win and hold onto his title hopes with only two rounds remaining in the series.

Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton challenged for the lead late in the race but had to settle for second place when the checkered flag flew inside Gillette Stadium. Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin was back on the podium with a third place finish inside the venue where he won when the series last visited in 2018. In the Eastern Regional 250SX Class’ penultimate round, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Austin Forkner fought forward for the win but the bigger news was that Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence finished second in the race to capture his first Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX Class Championship.

Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb grabbed the 450SX Class Main Event holeshot with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac right on his rear tire and Jason Anderson close behind Tomac. Tomac needed only to finish ahead of Anderson to wrap up his second championship. But less than two minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race, Anderson took advantage of Tomac’s battle with Webb to slice under in a corner. The block pass was not overly aggressive, but in trying to avoid contact, Tomac stalled his bike.

Tomac re-fired his Yamaha and took pursuit from sixth place as Anderson set his sights on Webb. Four minutes into the race Anderson took ahold of the lead. Sexton was past Webb shortly after while the lead group, including Tomac, remained close. Musquin, the race winner in St. Louis, took over third place. Tomac was up to fourth and looking ready to charge back to the front with fourteen minutes still on the race clock.

Tomac’s charge never came as he slowly lost touch with the lead pack and as Anderson and Sexton pulled away to a two-rider battle up front. Sexton got close just past the race’s midpoint while Tomac lost a few more positions late in the race. Then Anderson pulled back out to a comfortable victory, his fifth of the season. It takes the championship battle to Denver where Anderson will need another strong ride, and a little luck in Tomac’s home state race, to push his title quest to the final round.

When the riders lined up for round eight of the Eastern Regional 250SX Class’ penultimate round, Jett Lawrence was in position to wrap up the title by finishing ahead of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire. When the gate dropped Phoenix Racing Honda’s Cullin Park jumped out into the lead and held it for over a lap before Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Pierce Brown took over the top spot. Lawrence had rounded the first turn mid-pack and was several positions behind Hampshire.

Brown stretched out his early lead as Hampshire moved forward from fifth place; Lawrence battled with Forkner as they sliced forward through the pack further back. With under four minutes left on the race clock, Hampshire clipped Brown’s rear wheel while closing in on the lead and Hampshire went down. Forkner and Lawrence were quickly past; both riders then reached and passed Brown in the closing laps. The win was an emotional one for Forkner, his first since 2020, and the title was more so an emotional accomplishment for 18-year-old Australian Jett Lawrence, who takes the championship in his third year racing Supercross in the United States. Lawrence earned the number one plate through consistency as well as speed. The popular racer finished every 2022 race on the podium, including four wins.

Only two rounds remain in the 2022 17-round Monster Energy AMA Supercross series and two more championship titles are yet to be settled. Tickets are on sale now for the upcoming rounds in Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Jason Anderson Dominates Atlanta Supercross on Season’s Most Technical and Challenging TrackHunter Lawrence Takes Top Step in Dave Coombs Sr. 250SX East/West Showdown

Atlanta, Ga., (April 16, 2022) Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson grabbed his fourth win of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season on a high-speed track that stretched in front of the Atlanta Motor Speedway grandstands.

Series points leader Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac gave up three points to Anderson in the title hunt with a second-place ride on the rutty Atlanta track. Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton held the lead early but a crash relegated him to a hard-fought third place finish. The 250SX Class held the first of two 2022 Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown events and Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence took the honors over the top riders from both regions.

Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia grabbed the holeshot in the 450SX Class Main Event with Sexton, Anderson, Tomac, and Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb directly behind. Sexton put on a move for the lead just over two minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race. After a short skirmish Sexton took over the spot from Barcia. Anderson was past Barcia soon after, but Sexton was already sprinting ahead to amass a two second lead.

What looked like a win for Sexton evaporated when the Honda rider crashed awkwardly in a bowl turn after one of the track’s sand sections. Anderson took the lead while Sexton remounted a charge from sixth place with fifteen minutes still on the race clock. Shortly after that Barcia went down, and the running order up front was suddenly Anderson, Webb, then Tomac. With just under six minutes left on the race clock Tomac flew past Webb but had over eight seconds to make up on this nearest rival in the championship standings if he hoped for a win. With just over a minute left on the clock Sexton passed Webb to get back into the top three behind Anderson and Tomac.

In the unique Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown that pits the top riders from both regions against one another, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda jumped into the lead with a holeshot ahead of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire and Hunter Lawrence. Eastern Regional 250SX Class points leader Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence sat in sixth and Western Regional 250SX Class points leader Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig crossed the holeshot stripe in eighth.

Hunter Lawrence was quickly into second place after a battle with Hampshire while his brother Jett crashed exiting the whoops and dropped outside of the top ten. Craig steadily moved forward through the pack while Jett charged frantically to climb back toward the front. Six minutes into the 15-minute plus one lap race Hunter Lawrence took over the lead and was never challenged for it. One lap later Craig slipped into second and held it to the finish. With two laps remaining Jett Lawrence reached Shimoda and the two had a few near tangles. Lawrence emerged with the final podium position and Shimoda held on for fourth.

The Atlanta race commemorated Monster Energy Supercross’ ongoing partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through the Supercross – St. Jude This Race Saves Lives initiative. The entire race was dedicated to the St. Jude mission – Finding Cures. Saving Children., with athletes and teams incorporating St. Jude patient-inspired artwork into their gear designs and motorcycle graphics. These unique items were then autographed and collected after the race to become part of the upcoming St. Jude – Supercross online auction that will run from Monday, April 25 through Monday, May 9.

Marvin Musquin Wins St. Louis Supercross 450SX Class Triple Crown

RJ Hampshire Grabs Career-First 250SX Class Victory

St. Louis, Mo., (April 10, 2022) In a return to the top step of the podium, Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin was brilliant inside The Dome at America’s Center to take the victory at Round 13 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series.

The Triple Crown race format, the third of the year, played to Musquin’s consistency over the three Races of the night. Musquin earned one Race win and two second place finishes to easily win the event overall. Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton also racked up a Race win. Sexton finished in second place overall for the night. The event ended Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac’s five-race win streak but the points leader left St. Louis with a podium finish. Tomac also stretched his points lead over his nearest title rival from 54 to 56. In the Eastern Regional 250SX Class Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire used three holeshots to capture an emotional first-ever Supercross event victory.

Chase Sexton grabbed the holeshot in Race 1 and rode a nearly flawless race to an uncontested win in the first of the three 12-minute plus one lap races the 450 riders faced. After starting up near the front, Marvin Musquin had the pace to remain unchallenged in the second place spot. The excitement came just behind as Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart took over third place two laps into the race, and soon after had Eli Tomac on his rear fender and pushing to get around. On the final lap Tomac made a pass, but Stewart battled immediately back, reclaimed the spot, and held on until the checkered flag.

Race 2 had a similar cadence to the first. This time it was Musquin grabbing the holeshot. He was pressured early by Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson, but after a few laps Musquin pulled out of attack range and was not challenged again for the top spot. Tomac found himself in ninth place at the start; he made quick early passes, then took until nearly the midpoint to get around Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia for fourth. Malcolm Stewart took a hard crash, wedging his bike’s handlebar into his knee brace. He remounted and put in a little more track time before finally pulling off and heading back to the pits. Musquin took the win ahead of Anderson, Sexton, and Tomac. The finishing order gave Musquin the advantage going into the final race of the night with an overall score of 3 against Sexton’s 4. Anderson and Tomac sat with 8 points and Barcia held 10.

In Race 3 Tomac was on point from the drop of the gate with Musquin right on his rear wheel and Anderson looking aggressive behind Musquin. Anderson applied the pressure for the first two and a half minutes before Musquin managed some breathing room. Behind them, Sexton was recovering from a poor start but sliced his way quickly up to third place before Race 3’s midpoint. In the closing laps Musquin closed on Tomac but never got close enough to mount a challenge for the lead before Tomac stretched it back out to win the battle but not the war. Musquin’s victory makes him the fifth race winner of the season with four rounds still remaining.

The Eastern Regional 250SX Class delivered three intense Races and when the dust settled RJ Hampshire stood tallest on the podium for his first Supercross victory. Hampshire was perfect on starts, nabbing three holeshots. Hampshire led most of Race 1. But in the second half of the 10-minute plus one lap race he got off-line in the main rhythm section, landed on a Tuffblox, and crashed hard onto the stadium floor concrete. The Race 1 win went to a hard-charging Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence. In Race 2 Hampshire again led for the first half, this time Jett Lawrence caught and passed him, yet Hampshire nearly took back with lead with a last-corner pass attempt that put him on the ground; he remounted for second place. In Race 3, Hampshire battled for the lead with Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Pierce Brown early and held on for the win. Lawrence started Race 3 in 20^th place after a bad start and a crash on the opening lap. Hampshire easily won the event’s overall. Lawrence finished in second overall, and Smartop Bullfrog Spas MotoConcepts Honda’s Mitchell Oldenburg took the final podium spot.

The championship finishes off the final four races in the 17-round series in rapid-fire style with an event scheduled for the next four consecutive weekends. Round 14 takes place on April 16^th at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Atlanta, Ga. for the season’s first of two Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown events. Tickets are available now for the races, including tickets to FanFest and the unique Track Walk experience that allows fans down onto the racetrack.

April 8, 2022

Eli Tomac Takes the Checkers in Seattle for Fifth Straight Supercross Win

Hunter Lawrence Claims Second Victory in Western Regional 250SX Class

Seattle, Wash., (March 27, 2022) Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac racked up the win inside Lumen Field for his fifth straight Monster Energy AMA Supercross victory this season. The win in Seattle pulls Tomac into a tie for fourth place on the historic 450SX Class wins list.

Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson pulled in another podium finish with a strong second place run, and Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin repeated his previous week’s finish with a spot on the podium in third place. In the return to Western Regional 250SX Class racing after a five week hiatus, Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence came out with a big win, his second of the season. It earned Lawrence enough points to pull him into second overall in the division’s standings.

Eli Tomac wasn’t the fastest qualifier and didn’t win his Heat Race, but he had the class covered when the gate dropped for the twelfth 450SX Class Main Event of 2022. Tomac shot into the lead ahead of Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia, Musquin, and Anderson. Anderson moved into third spot before one lap was completed in the 20-minute plus one lap Main Event. From there, Tomac showed the others the fast way around a track that was slick and rutting up deeper as the race progressed.

Four minutes into the racing, defending champion Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb moved into tenth place while recovering from a poor start. Ahead of him the top group was slowly spreading apart. Then, just before the race’s midpoint, Barcia jumped off-line, landed on a Tuffblox, and went down hard in a rhythm lane. Barcia remounted in fifth behind Tomac, Anderson, Musquin, and the day’s fastest qualifier Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart. In the closing laps Webb reached and clung to Barcia’s rear wheel but could never make the move past.

Tomac took the win in front of a loud and enthusiastic Washington crowd, who hadn’t had a Supercross event in the Pacific Northwest since 2019. It was Tomac’s fifth-straight win, tying his personal record, and placing him into an all-time-wins tie for fourth with retired champion Chad Reed. It also pushed Tomac 54 points ahead of his nearest competitor for the 2022 championship. Anderson grabbed his first podium since Round 8, and Musquin kept up his podium streak in Seattle that covers both 450SX and 250SX racing; the Frenchman has podiumed at every Seattle Supercross in which he’s competed.

After a five week break, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig grabbed the holeshot in the thundering return of the Western Regional 250SX Class. Craig was just ahead of Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Michael Mosiman and Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda. Hunter Lawrence crossed the holeshot stripe in seventh. Craig tried to quickly gap the field, but Mosiman stayed right with him. Two minutes into the 15-minute plus one lap race Hunter Lawrence made his way into third place. Soon after that, up front Mosiman aggressively passed Craig for the lead. Mosiman’s contact pass sent Craig over the berm and onto the ground; he remounted in sixth and started his charge forward. Five minutes into the race Lawrence caught Mosiman and a lap later took the lead. Mosiman was dropping slightly off the pace with a bent rear brake rotor from his contact pass on Craig. A little after the midpoint Craig got by Mosiman without incident and into second place. Late in the race Shimoda put in a valiant charge on Moisman. He briefly took over third place on the last lap, lost it again, then nearly crashed himself out with a last turn, last ditch effort. Mosiman held on for third and Shimoda recovered from his off-track excursion to earn fourth place.

The series now takes a one-weekend break. The racers will next line up in two weeks at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Mo. on Saturday, April 9^th. The event will be the final of three 2022 Triple Crown events where the top racers face each other over three races in one night. It will also be a return to the Eastern Regional 250SX Class series after two weekends without a race. Tickets are on sale now for the St. Louis and other 2022 rounds in the 17-round championship.

Eli Tomac Stretches Win Streak to Four Straight at Indy Supercross

Jett Lawrence Posts Third Consecutive Win in 250SX Class

Indianapolis, Ind., (March 20, 2022) The headlines of two racers extending their win streaks belies the thrills delivered at the Indianapolis Supercross, Round 11 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac was patient and precise on the soft, rutted, and unforgiving Indianapolis dirt.

Tomac’s victory stretched his championship points lead to 48 and places him one win away from fourth on the all-time win list. Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia led for most of the Main Event and was on Tomac’s wheel at the end, but he had to settle for the runner up spot in Indy. Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin spent most of the Main Event with the lead in sight but only reached as high as third place to grab the final podium spot in the premier class. The Eastern Regional 250SX Class served up another exciting race and Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence captured the win, his fourth in five rounds of the division’s championship.

Justin Barcia jumped into the lead in the 450SX Class Main Event ahead of Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart, Tomac, and Musquin. In the early laps it looked like Tomac would slice his way to the front as he dove under Stewart, but Tomac’s forward progress stalled as the top five battled fiercely in a tight pack. As Anderson fought with Barcia, Stewart came back on Tomac to reclaim his spot.

Barcia got off-plane in the whoops and Anderson took over the lead seven and a half minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race. Less than a lap later Barcia cut across a tight right hand turn into Anderson. The riders collided, and Anderson went down and dropped outside of the top five. As Tomac got his turn to hound Barcia for the lead he found Musquin nipping at his own rear wheel. The top three riders fought for position, battled the deteriorating track, and strategized passes on lapped riders; only two seconds separated all three positions. When Stewart and Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton closed in, there were suddenly five riders with less than five seconds separating the group.

With just under five minutes left on the race clock Tomac jumped past Barcia and quickly pulled clear from a retaliation pass. Soon after, Stewart crashed hard, going over the bars after shorting a jump in the rhythm section. As Barcia made a final push to get Tomac, Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb did all he could to pass Sexton for fourth. At the checkered flag Tomac took the win, his fourth in a row. Barcia was right behind in second, Musquin was comfortable in third, and Sexton held off Webb at the line for fourth.

The Eastern Regional 250SX Class Main Event saw Jett Lawrence snatch the holeshot with Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Cameron McAdoo right behind. Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Jace Owen, Fire Power Honda’s Jordon Smith, Smartop Bullfrog Spas MotoConcepts Honda’s Mitchell Oldenburg, and Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Pierce Brown were all up in the mix early. Initially Lawrence looked uncomfortable in the whoops and inconsistent in some of the rhythms while McAdoo was on his game. Two and a half minutes into the 15-minute plus one lap race McAdoo closed. A lap and a half later he pushed past Lawrence and into the lead. Then Lawrence found his flow and took the battle back to McAdoo. At the race’s midpoint Lawrence re-gained the lead and slowly stretched it from there to capture his third win in a row. Behind them Brown reached third place but Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire pushed past late into the race. The two were nearly side by side at the checkered but Hampshire held on for his first podium of the 2022 season.

The series now crosses the country to match the racers up again next Saturday night at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. The open air stadium looks, as of press time, to have clear weather for a round that has played spoiler to many racers over the years when rain mixed with Pacific Northwest soil to create DNF-inducing mud. The round also brings the return of Western Regional 250SX Class racing for Round 7 of that division and Round 12 of the premier 450SX Class. For tickets to Seattle and future rounds, the full schedule, highlights, race recaps and airtimes on Peacock, NBC, CNBC, and USA Network please go to SupercrossLIVE.com.

Tomac Notches Three Straight with Detroit Supercross Win

Jett Lawrence Repeats with 250SX Class Victory

Detroit, Mich., (March 13, 2022) Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac took the win in front of 47,043 fans in a wild race that will be re-watched for years to come. At Ford Field Tomac became the first rider in the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship to win three races in a row; he stretched his points lead to 42 after 10 rounds of the 17-round series.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart rode a smart race to bring home a second place finish, matching his career- and season-best result and moving into a tie for second place in the points. Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia finished in third after leading early. In the Eastern Regional 250SX Class, Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence took the win, his third of the season, and extended his points lead to eight just four rounds into the division’s championship.

After SGB Unlimited Honda’s Cade Clason grabbed the holeshot, Twisted Tea Suzuki’s Justin Bogle jumped into the early lead in the 450SX Main Event with Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin right behind. Bogle maintained the top spot through the early laps with Musquin close, Justin Barcia sitting third, Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb holding fourth, and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson in fifth. Just over two minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race Barcia pushed his way past Bogle. Anderson and Webb were by soon after that while Eli Tomac was up to sixth after a mid-pack start.

Less than five minutes in, Anderson got by Barcia in the whoops. A lap later it was Tomac passing in the whoops, this time blitzing past Webb for third place. One lap after that Tomac repeated the move on Barcia, putting him into second place. At the race’s midpoint Eli Tomac took over the lead, Anderson counterattacked from second, and Malcolm Stewart rounded out the top three.

The tacky, rutted track had created plenty of drama and crashes in the heat races and LCQs, and at this point in the race it began to dramatically impact the racing and title points standings. Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton caught Cooper Webb. Then Webb shorted a jump out of a corner and Sexton landed on him. Both riders went down in a brutal tangle. Sexton was out, Webb slowly remounted and valiantly tried to ride laps with his left arm tucked against his chest. He was hurt but doing what he could to salvage points.

Shortly after, Anderson washed out his front end in a corner entrance. He remounted, then pulled off down the next straight after realizing he’d been too injured in the crash to continue. Just a couple laps later, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis ran into trouble and pulled out of the race. In the closing laps Musquin made a charge for the final podium position, but the track got its final say in the results as Musquin washed out his front wheel in a bowl turn and lost his chance for a spot on the podium.

The chaotic race was a thriller, and one surely to be watched again and again over the years as one of those sporting events that stands out as a wild and unique race. It resulted in a huge mix-up in the points, granting Tomac a seemingly insurmountable lead. Only time will tell which riders will be recovered enough to line up on the gate next weekend at the Indianapolis Supercross.

When the gate dropped in the Eastern Regional 250SX Class Jett Lawrence was credited with the holeshot but Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Stilez Robertson jumped past into the lead. The two battled for the opening laps with Lawrence taking over the spot for good at the end of the first lap. Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Pierce Brown was next to get around Robertson with Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Cameron McAdoo getting past and into third before two minutes ticked off of the clock in the 15-minute plus one lap race.

At the race’s midpoint Brown was slowly chipping away at Lawrence’s three second lead. Then a lapped rider prevented Lawrence from jumping the finish line and Brown was on the Honda’s rear wheel. After some close battling Lawrence inched away as McAdoo caught Brown’s rear tire. With just over four minutes left on the clock McAdoo took over second but wasn’t able to close on Lawrence. The finish extended Lawrence’s points lead to 8 after four rounds of the 9 round regional series.

The series now heads to Indianapolis for another exciting Saturday night of racing inside Lucas Oil Stadium on March 19^th. To get more information on event tickets, race recaps, racer news, and airtimes for every race on Peacock, NBC, CNBC, and USA Network please visit SupercrossLIVE.com.

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing Signs Kyle Chisholm

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is happy to announce the signing of Kyle Chisolm for the remainder of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX East Championship. The privateer Yamaha racer will head the campaign in the East while the team’s regulars continue to work on returning to full fitness.

Jeremy Martin injured his shoulder in a practice crash before the Daytona Supercross. The two-time AMA Pro Motocross Champion underwent a successful surgery over the weekend and will focus on returning for the start of the outdoor season. Levi Kitchen continues to work on his recovery from a knee injury sustained from a crash in the first main event of the Triple Crown in Arlington, and an announcement of his return will come at a later date.

Chisolm makes his debut aboard the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing YZ250F this Saturday, March 12, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.

Jensen Hendler – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 250 Team Manager

“We’re very excited to have Kyle come on board with the team. When we started looking at hiring a fill-in rider, we decided that what we really wanted to do was give someone an opportunity that might not have had that opportunity before and see what they can do. It wasn’t really about results or replacing someone; it was more about giving back to the sport and giving someone an opportunity. We’re really excited to have him join the team and are looking forward to getting started on Monday.”

Kyle Chisholm – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing

“I’m really excited about this opportunity! It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been on the 250, but of all the bikes that you could want to ride the Star Yamaha is the best. I can’t wait to get on the bike and get some time on it. I’m looking to put some work in this week and do the best that we can. It’s not like a normal off-season where we have months to get used to it; it’s just going to be a couple of days. I’m looking forward to the challenge, though, and I think that the team is going to do an awesome job and get me ready in the short amount of time that we have. I’ve known Bobby Reagan for a long time, since I was on mini bikes, and know a lot of guys on the team. They’re a great group of guys, and I’m looking forward to working with them.”

Eli Tomac Grabs Record-Breaking Sixth Daytona Supercross Victory

Jett Lawrence Takes Home 250SX Class Win at His First Daytona Visit

Daytona Beach, Fla., (March 6, 2022) Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac grabbed a historic sixth Daytona Supercross win with a dramatic late-race pass for the lead at Round 9 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. The victory marked Tomac’s fourth win of the season and stretched his points lead to 18.

After leading most of the race, Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb went home matching his best finish of 2022 with a second-place spot. Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton ran up front with a steady ride that earned him the final podium position. In Round 3 of the Eastern Regional 250SX Class, Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence dominated the field, taking home the win at his first Daytona Supercross appearance and breaking the points tie to become the sole red plate holder in the class.

Cooper Webb shot out of the gate with a decisive Holeshot in the 450SX Class Main Event. The race excitement spiked down the first rhythm lane as Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart jumped into second place. Next, Tomac attempted to cut under Stewart in turn two. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson came in hot under both riders and the three sandwiched together then split apart like billiard balls on a break. None went down as they scrambled to get back into the race. The incident put Anderson in second and Stewart behind him in third.

Just one corner later, in only the third corner of the race, Anderson cut across the sandy inside rut and collided with Stewart. This time both riders went down, nearly in a replay of the altercation between the two riders the weekend prior. From there Stewart and Anderson scrapped, came together once more, and both hit the ground again as each tried to claw forward for points without giving quarter to the other.

Out front and ahead of the chaos, Cooper Webb put in precise laps on the deteriorating track and kept the #1 plate clean for most of the race. Chase Sexton hung behind him, matching Webb’s pace in the early laps of the race with Tomac just behind Sexton and Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia nearly in position to make a run for Tomac’s spot. Six and a half minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race the top three were barely separated by two seconds on a track notorious for forcing costly mistakes.

Then, with eleven and a half minutes on the clock, Tomac made his way past Sexton and set his sights on Webb. The gap alternately grew and shrank for several laps, often holding at less than a second between the top two riders as they weaved their way through lappers and contended with deepening ruts and growing bumps. On top of it all, Tomac’s bike started spitting smoke from its engine overflow tube, often an indication of an overheating clutch.

With 45 seconds left on the clock Webb was cut off by a lapper and Tomac was in the perfect position to seize the moment. From there Tomac eased out of striking distance from a re-pass by Webb and took his Yamaha to a historic sixth victory at the Daytona Supercross, more than any rider in the venue’s 52-year history.

The Eastern Regional 250SX Class also delivered amazing racing. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Stilez Robertson captured the Holeshot but Jett Lawrence was into the lead before they’d reached the second turn. Midway into the first lap, Lawrence was already pulling a gap on the field, Robertson held strong in second, and Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Enzo Lopes sat third. Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Cameron McAdoo, last year’s winner and sitting tied for the points lead, ran outside the top five but was on the move. The battle for the final podium spot was dramatic for the duration of the race with Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Phil Nicoletti, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire, and Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Pierce Brown having a throw down battle that alternately saw each rider making moves forward amid their group. When the night dust settled McAdoo had secured the final podium spot behind Lawrence and Robertson.

The Supercross series heads north to Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan for more of what’s already proven to be a wild and exciting season for both classes.

Eli Tomac Wins Texas Triple Crown and Stretches Points Lead

Cameron McAdoo Tops Eastern Regional 250SX Class to Move into Points Tie

Arlington, Texas, (February 26, 2022) Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac claimed the overall win inside AT&T Stadium at Round 8 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. The win marked Tomac’s sixth Triple Crown victory in the unique event schedule that lines up the top riders for three separate races to determine the overall finishing positions. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson won the final race of the night to earn second overall, and Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb rounded out the podium in a wild night of intense racing and dramatic moments. In the second round of the Eastern Regional 250SX Class series, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Cameron McAdoo earned the top spot amid unpredictable 250SX Class action.

The 450SX Class started off with a wild and dramatic Race 1. Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin got into the lead early but Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart quickly took over up front with Jason Anderson on his tail. Webb was back several spots while Tomac was slicing through the pack after a bad start. Late in the 12-mintue plus one lap race, with only two and a half minutes on the race clock, Anderson put a hard contact pass on Stewart and both riders hit the Texas dirt. The incident put Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia in the front spot, Webb close behind, and Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton just out of reach of the two. On the final lap Webb pushed past Barcia under the track’s bridge jump. Webb took the win, Barcia grabbed second, and Tomac’s charge gave him the final podium spot in the first of the three races.

Chase Sexton took the early lead in Race 2 ahead of Anderson and Tomac. Webb quickly turned a mid-pack start into a top four spot and the race was on. Tomac passed Anderson twice with Anderson dramatically passing him immediately back, reminiscent of their Anaheim 3 battle. At the race’s midpoint Anderson took over lead from Sexton. Two and a half minutes later Tomac was also around Sexton. The Honda rider fought off Webb’s pressure to hold the spot through the final laps. The results put Tomac and Webb tied with five points and Anderson and Sexton tied with seven points going into Race 3.

At the final gate drop of the night, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC WPS KTM’s Shane McElrath took the point spot early with Tomac and Anderson on his fender. Webb ran into trouble and was way back in the first corner while Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen and Musquin were involved in a first turn crash. Less than a minute into the race Tomac moved to the front; Anderson pushed past McElrath soon after. Malcolm Stewart got into third a few laps later but was ten seconds back. The gap allowed some games as Tomac slowed to block Anderson’s pass attempts. With just under five and a half minutes on the clock Anderson made the move into first. Tomac held close but never got by. Stewart held third as Webb closed in but had to settle for fourth.

The overall went to Tomac, his sixth Triple Crown event win. Anderson’s second overall puts him now three points back in the title chase. Webb earned third overall for the night, Sexton finished fourth, and Stewart rounded out the top five and sits in third place in the title points.

The 250SX Class Race 1 was a thriller. After holeshotting, Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence fell in the second corner and dropped to the back of the pack. Jett put on an inspired and aggressive charge through the remainder of the race, passing up to the rear wheel of third place finisher Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire. Up front, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Austin Forkner ran in third for the first four minutes of the 10-minutes plus one lap Race. He moved past his teammate McAdoo then both Kawasaki racers got around race leader Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Stilez Robertson. Forkner took the win with McAdoo second, Hampshire third, and Lawrence fourth. In Race 2 Lawrence was again up front at the start and wasted little time taking over the lead and checking out. Behind him, Robertson held second with Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Jeremy Martin and Kawasaki racers Forkner and McAdoo right behind. In a repeat of Race 1, Forkner and McAdoo passed Robertson nearly together. This time McAdoo finished ahead of his teammate. Lawrence’s win put him in a three-way tie with McAdoo and Forkner going into the final race.

250SX Class Race 3 was another for the record books. Lawrence slid out in the first turn and began the race in last place for the second time of the night. Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Jace Owen grabbed the lead ahead of Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Pierce Brown, McAdoo, and Martin. Forkner was just inside the top ten as Lawrence started picking off riders from the back. Just past the midpoint McAdoo held an uncontested lead and Brown had second place locked down. Forkner reached third with Lawrence unbelievably right behind. Lawrence was on a mission, bouncing wildly through the whoops and past Forkner. On the next section Lawrence tagged a Tuffblox on the face of the finish line jump. It sent him across the track and he and Forkner collided in mid-air. Forkner was out and Lawrence ended the final race in tenth. McAdoo won the race and the overall. It moved him into a points tie with Lawrence after two rounds in the division.

The series heads to Daytona International Speedway for Round 9 of 450SX Class racing and Round 3 of the Eastern Regional 250SX Class championship. The Florida event marks the first of two speedway venues of 2022.

WEBB AND MUSQUIN DELIVER A PAIR OF PODIUM FINISHES FOR RED BULL KTM AT MINNEAPOLIS SX

Round 7 – AMA Supercross Championship

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team came away from Round 7 of the AMA Supercross Championship with great momentum as teammates Cooper Webb and Marvin Musquin delivered a pair of podium finishes in Minneapolis. With persistent performances aboard the new KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, both Webb and Musquin rode calm and collected to navigate their way through a hectic 450SX Main Event.

Webb was strong from the start as he powered his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into a top-five qualifying position earlier in the day. The defending 450SX Champion had a great start in 450SX Heat 2, charging into second right out of the gate. He swapped positions inside the top-three early on but he put in consistent laps to ultimately secure a strong second in the heat.

In the Main Event, Webb charged out of the gate to secure his first holeshot of the season and he led the first seven laps with pressure coming from behind. He lost a couple spots to fourth just before the halfway point but he maintained a strong pace late in the race to keep the lead group within striking distance. With four laps to go, Webb inherited third when another rider went down ahead of him and he continued to push, overtaking second when the leader crashed out on the white flag lap. Crossing the finish in second, Webb secured his second podium finish of the season with a solid performance in Minnesota.

Cooper Webb: “It’s nice to be back up here and back in the fight – a chance at running up front again. I have to give it up to the team, they found some good stuff this week. I’m still not where I want to be but it was a great night – we got a holeshot, led laps and a few crashes put me into second but I’ll take it. It’s been a rough start to the season and there’s light at the end of the tunnel, so we’ll take it.”

Musquin, the fourth-place qualifier, got off to a top-10 start in 450SX Heat 1 and positioned himself into eighth on the opening lap. He quickly moved into seventh and steadily gained positions lap after lap, working his way up to fifth by the midway point. He put in strong laps all the way through the checkers, scoring a top-five transfer into the Main Event.

In the 450SX Main Event, Musquin put his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into sixth off the start and he wasted no time climbing into the top-five. He clicked off consistent laps throughout the race to put himself into a favorable fourth-place position heading into the final laps. With the misfortune of the race-leader going down, Musquin was able to step into the final podium position with one lap to go and he brought it home to secure his first podium of the season at Round 7.

Marvin Musquin: “These podiums don’t come easy this year so I want to enjoy it, even though I’m a little bit disappointed because I was right there and I lost some ground at some point. It took me a while to figure out what to do in the whoops and I was faster on the rest of the track. It doesn’t feel like I got third with the way the race went but this is racing and the competition is tough, so third tonight is great.”

Aaron Plessinger had a mid-pack start in 450SX Heat 1 and he charged his way into the top-five early in the race. Moving into fourth around the halfway point, he continued to put in a solid performance to finish fourth in the heat. In the 450SX Main Event, Plessinger grabbed seventh out of the gate and he maintained that position for the first eight laps before dropping back to eighth. In a race of his own for most of the night, Plessinger was able to rally his way back into seventh late in the race.

Aaron Plessinger: “Tonight was a step in the right direction. I had an alright start in the Main Event and I just felt a little stale the whole race. I couldn’t really push forward and I was just kind of riding – a few people got by me and I got by a few people. We made a lot of progress this week, even though my riding isn’t showing how good the bike is working. We’ll go back to Florida this week, work on myself a little bit and be back for Dallas.”

It was a tough start to the 250SX Eastern Regional Championship for Max Vohland, who suffered a race-ending crash on the opening lap of the Main Event. In his first gate drop of the season, Vohland came out strong in 250SX Heat 1 as he charged his KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into fifth early on. He moved into fourth on lap three and battled back-and-forth around the top-five to ultimately secure a seventh-place transfer into the main.

In the Main Event, Vohland got off to a mid-pack start and he ended up going down in the first-turn with multiple riders hitting him while on the ground. Banged up, Vohland made the decision to get checked out by the medical staff on-site, ending his race before the completion of the first lap. The initial X-ray did not show any broken bones but Vohland plans to get a second opinion when he returns home this week.

Jason Anderson Racks Up Back-to-Back Wins with a Minneapolis Supercross Victory

Jett Lawrence Launches Eastern Regional 250SX Class Campaign with a Win

Minneapolis, Minn., (February 19, 2022) Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson grabbed his third win of the season at Round 7 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship inside U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn. The top finish inside the domed stadium closed him to within three points of the championship points lead. Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb crossed the finish line in second, earning his second podium of the season with his Red Bull KTM teammate Marvin Musquin taking third place and Musquin’s first 2022 podium. In the opening round of the Eastern Regional 250SX Class series, Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence took the win and the early points lead in what looks to be a very competitive division.

When the gate dropped for the 450SX Class Main Event defending champion Cooper Webb pulled the Holeshot and jumped out into the early lead. Within three corners Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton moved into second and right onto Webb’s rear fender. With Anderson right on Sexton’s tail the three quickly pulled a slight gap on the rest of the field. In the opening minute of racing Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac, the current points leader, tangled with his teammate Dylan Ferrandis and set his bike down on the face of a triple jump. The minor crash dropped Tomac to last place.

With just over five minutes off the race clock in the 20-minute plus one lap Main Event, Sexton muscled his way around Webb and sealed the pass with a strong drive through the whoops. But the top-three rider breakaway didn’t extend its gap on the field. Instead, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart charged up from fourth place and re-established contact as Anderson pressured Webb for second. When Anderson and Stewart got past Webb in quick succession, Webb’s teammate Musquin had the defending champ in his sights. In another flip of the traditional script, Webb mounted a charge on Stewart, who slid out in a flat corner with just under three minutes left on the race clock.

Just when the finishing order looked settled, Sexton’s front wheel tucked and torqued the bike to a quick stop on a jump face. The bike flung Sexton into the air. The crash warped the bike’s front wheel and the impact took Sexton out of the race in spite of trying to remount the machine. The Monster Energy Supercross flames signaled Anderson’s third win of the season. Webb took second place and Musquin tallied his first 2022 podium. Tomac’s speed allowed him to recover to a sixth-place finish to hold onto the championship points lead.

There were opening round jitters and anticipation as the Eastern Regional 250SX Class kicked off in Minneapolis. Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Austin Forkner jumped into the lead at the Holeshot stripe with Jett Lawrence quickly into the second spot ahead of Forkner’s teammate Cameron McAdoo. Lawrence put an aggressive inside-line pass on Forkner less than a minute after the gate drop then rode a smooth and effortless-looking race to the first checkered flag of Eastern Regional 250SX Class competition. Forkner held second place to the end, and McAdoo grabbed third after fending off a mid-race challenge by Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Jeremy Martin. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire rounded out the top five after closing on Martin but running out of time for a pass attempt.

Next Saturday the Supercross series makes its first 2022 visit to Texas with the second of three Triple Crown Events set for February 26^th inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The unique Triple Crown schedule foregoes qualifying for three races that combine to determine the event winners and pay single-event championship points.

MARVIN MUSQUIN CLAIMS A TOP-FIVE AT ANAHEIM 3 SX

Round 6 – AMA Supercross Championship

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin captured a top-five finish at Saturday’s Anaheim SX, serving as Round 6 of the 2022 AMA Supercross Championship. Returning to Angel Stadium for the third time in six weeks, it was a battle for riders to excel in the unforgiving track conditions but Musquin kept a steady pace to score his second-best finish of the season in fifth.

With a third-place start in 450SX Heat 1, the Frenchmen raced in third for the first five laps before making the pass into second on lap six. He rode strong aboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to match a season-best heat-race finish in second.

In the Main Event, Musquin wasted no time getting into podium contention as he moved into third on the opening lap. Keeping the lead battle within striking distance ahead, Musquin rode a fast pace in the early laps but he got caught up with a lapped rider and went down in the sand section, causing him to drop back to seventh on lap 12. He fought his way back into the top-five battle midway through the race and he continued to charge forward, making the pass for fifth with two laps to go. He finished strong in the final two laps to secure a top-five finish in Anaheim.

Marvin Musquin:“I felt like I was right there all day – the speed was good and the feeling was good. In the Main, I got a decent start and put myself in a great position in third behind Tomac. Unfortunately, I went into the inside and hit a lapper and went down and lost a lot of ground. I’m really happy with the way that I fought and rode but without the mistake it would have been a podium tonight. It hurts a little but we have to look at the positive, which was the speed and the fight I had.”

Defending 450SX Champion Cooper Webb grabbed a top-five start in 450SX Heat 1 and he made his way into fourth a few laps in. He battled back-and-forth in the last two laps to ultimately secure a fifth-place transfer. In the Main Event, Webb had a good jump but he got shuffled into seventh on the opening lap. He fought inside the top-10 for the entire race, coming away with an eighth-place finish on the night.

Cooper Webb:“It wasn’t the best night, I’m still struggling with some stuff, but we charged hard all day. I got a decent start in the main and kind of got shuffled back. It’s not where we want to be by any means but I rode to the best of my ability tonight with what I’ve got, so we’ll go to Minneapolis and see if we can turn it around.”

Aaron Plessinger had a great start in 450SX Heat 2, charging his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into second place early on. Pressuring the leader, Plessinger rode a strong and steady pace to finish second in the heat. In the Main Event, Plessinger got a mid-pack start and he made his way into ninth on the opening lap. He maintained that same position throughout the race, finishing ninth.

Aaron Plessinger:“I was feeling really good for tonight. I actually qualified the best I have this year and I rode well in the heat race, ended up second. In the main, I was feeling really good and confident but I just got out there and didn’t ride like myself – I made a lot of mistakes and just didn’t execute. I need to be better. I’m going to work on it this week and come out swinging in Minneapolis.”

Jason Anderson Dominates Field to Take Anaheim 3 Supercross Win

Christian Craig Sweeps Anaheim Supercross 250SX Class Race

Anaheim, Calif., (February 13, 2022) Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson grabbed his second win of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series at Round 6, the third visit to Angel Stadium. Points leader Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac stayed on Anderson’s rear fender early but settled for second in the slick conditions of Anaheim 3. Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia posted his third podium of the year with a steady push forward through the race. The Western Regional 250SX Class saw a clean sweep of the Angel Stadium events by Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig who dramatically stretched out his points lead with the win.

Jason Anderson launched out of the gate and grabbed the holeshot in the 450SX Class Main Event with Eli Tomac right behind and holding tight. Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin pushed into third and kept the top two riders in sight as Tomac hounded Anderson. The two up front were rarely more than a second apart. Just two and a half minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race Tomac jumped into the lead, but Anderson retaliated immediately in the next corner and took it right back. A couple laps later Tomac bobbled in the whoops, which had claimed many riders earlier in the night. Tomac stayed on two wheels, but the mistake allowed Anderson some breathing room. From there the Kawasaki rider rode his own race to the checkers.

Just past the race’s midpoint Musquin collided with a lapped rider and went down, dropping to seventh. Barcia inherited third place after clawing his way forward from a slow start. Last weekend’s second place finisher, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart, carded fourth place. Musquin was able to pass his way forward after his crash to earn a top five finish.

Round 1 winner Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen was pushed wide in the first corner. He tangled with a Tuffblox and emerged from the turn in last place. He moved through the pack on slick track but was only able to reach eleventh place by the end.

The Western Regional 250SX Class Main Event started wild. Three riders exited the second corner shoulder-to-shoulder and charged into the slippery whoops. Craig won that sprint and emerged in the lead with Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence right behind. Smartop Bullfrog Spas MotoConcepts Honda’s Vince Friese was behind him, and Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Michael Mosiman sat in fourth. One corner later, Mosiman went off the track in the sand section and dropped back well outside the top ten.

It was soon down to a two rider battle as Craig and Lawrence distanced themselves from the pack while the whoops claimed several top riders behind them. Then six minutes into the 15-minute plus one lap race the whoops reached up and grabbed Lawrence. The crash took him out of the race and Craig rode unchallenged to the end. Behind him, Mosiman recovered up to second only to have his own crash in the whoops, ultimately handing the second place position to Friese. Mosiman remounted to earn the final spot on the podium.

Craig now holds a 28-point lead with a five week break ahead and only four rounds remaining in the regional championship, including two Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown rounds that will complicate matters with riders from each region vying for the same night’s points payout.

The 17-round Monster Energy Supercross series lines the racers up next on February 19^th inside U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The race kicks off the first round of the Eastern Regional 250SX Class Championship.

Eli Tomac First Repeat Winner of 2022 at Supercross Triple Crown in Arizona Hunter Lawrence Grabs 250 SX Class Win to Tighten Points

ChaseGlendale, Ariz., (February 6, 2022) Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac took the Monster Energy AMA Supercross overall win in front of 54,781 screaming fans inside State Farm Stadium at the first Triple Crown race of the season. The unique three-race format combines results to award single-event championship points. Tomac’s victory made him the season’s first repeat winner in an intensely close title battle. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart took home second place. It marked his first podium of 2022 and also his career-first Triple Crown podium finish. Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton earned third overall in his first 450SX Class Triple Crown event thanks to a win in the final race. In the Western Regional 250SX Class, Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence took his first win of the season with consistent 2-1-2 finishes inside the first football stadium venue of 2022.

When the 450SX Class dropped the gate on the ninth-ever Triple Crown format race, Tomac shot out of the gate and holeshot the field in Race 1. From there he built over a three second lead that held to the checkers. Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen held second early but had Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson and Malcolm Stewart on his tail. Two minutes into the 12-minute plus one lap race, Stewart pushed past Anderson for third. Further back, round three winner Chase Sexton was in the mix but two tip overs relegated him to an eleventh place finish. With less than three minutes on the race clock Anderson, then back in third, pushed cleanly past Roczen. Stewart moved around the Honda rider soon after to wrap the top five in Race 1 as Tomac, Anderson, Stewart, Roczen, and Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin. Eli Tomac repeated his holeshot in 450SX Class Race 2. The Yamaha rider led with Anderson, Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb, Musquin, and Sexton on his rear fender. In the early laps Stewart took over third place while defending champion Webb dropped back steadily, eventually finishing in eighth. Tomac rode perfectly and quickly distanced himself from any pressure for the lead spot. Just before the race’s midpoint Jason Anderson got slightly off-line on a launch and jumped off the track in a long rhythm section. He twisted his bike’s levers and got it hung up on a Tuffblox. It dropped Anderson outside of the top ten. Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis was the rider on the move late in the race, reaching fifth by the end, displacing Roczen to sixth. Anderson climbed back to twelfth by the finish. In the final race of the night, Sexton rocketed out to the holeshot and quickly built a lead just out of reach of the battles behind him. Stewart sat second with Tomac in third, in position to take his fifth Triple Crown overall win if things held where they were. Anderson was the rider on the move early, pushing past other racers until he forced a three-rider battle for second place. With just over five minutes left on the clock Tomac pushed into second, but Anderson charged past both Stewart and Tomac to take over the spot and set his sights on Sexton, who was 4.2 seconds ahead on the track. Anderson wasn’t able to track down the Honda rider, costing him a podium finish. It was Anderson’s first Triple Crown event in which he did not leave with podium-position points.

Hunter Lawrence has been on every 250SX Class podium in 2022. Inside State Farm Stadium he grabbed his first top spot of the season. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. The Western Regional 250SX Class racing was equally intense. Hunter Lawrence grabbed his first win of the year after landing on the podium at each prior round. He earned the top spot in Glendale through similar consistency with 2-1-2 finishes in each of the 10-minute plus one lap races. Points leader Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig won races 1 and 3 nearly unchallenged from start to finish, but his second race was a wild one. After Craig took over the lead on the opening lap, Smartop Bullfrog Spas MotoConcepts Honda’s Vince Friese collided with him in the sand section. The impact sent Craig sailing off the track and into the stadium’s field barriers. Craig’s charge to fourth in that race, salvaging an overall podium finish. Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda rounded out the night’s top three with 5-3-3 finishes. It was Shimoda’s first podium finish of the year. The series heads back into California for Round 6 and Anaheim 3, the last round of the initial West Coast swing. It will also mark the final Western Regional 250SX Class series event before that class takes a five week break for the Eastern Regional 250SX Class series to kick off. Tickets are available for the most exciting racing on the planet as it continues its 17-round sweep across the United States.

Supercross Points Leader Eli Tomac Takes First 450SX Class Win of Season

Supercross Points Leader Eli Tomac Takes First 450SX Class Win of Season
Christian Craig Tallies Third 250SX Class Victory

Anaheim, Calif., (January 30, 2022) Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac grabbed his first Monster Energy AMA Supercross win of 2022 and extended the points lead that he held going into Round 4. Jason Anderson of the Monster Energy Kawasaki team led early and was close at the end but settled for the runner up spot at the checkers. 450SX Class sophomore Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton backed up his career first 450SX Class win with a podium finish at the series’ second visit to Anaheim. It was an exciting Main Event in the Western Regional 250SX Class, with Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig earning his third victory of the season after a race-long battle that kept the win uncertain until the end.

Eli Tomac worked for the win. It was his first for his new Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha team. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen rocketed off the gate in the 450SX Class Main Event, exiting the first corner neck and neck with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC WPS KTM’s Shane McElrath. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart pushed into second place just 30 seconds into the race as behind him Anderson was on the move from fourth place and Tomac was pushing forward from a seventh place start. Anderson took second place from Stewart just three and a half minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race. He reeled in Roczen and made an aggressive move in the sand section where two lines came together. The riders collided in a spray of sand. Roczen’s bike flipped sideways off the track while Anderson managed to stay on two wheels. Anderson took over the lead but had Tomac charging hard to steal the top spot. Just before the race’s midpoint Anderson took a risky triple-triple rhythm line into an elevated berm and nearly high-sided off the track. The bobble allowed Tomac to cut under. From there he held the lead until the finish. Chase Sexton kept the two riders in sight but never closed enough to challenge Anderson for the second place spot.

Christian Craig rode a smart and clean race for his third win in four races in 2022. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. In the Western Regional 250SX Class, Smartop Bullfrog Spas MotoConcepts Honda’s Vince Friese grabbed the holeshot as the previous round winner, Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Michael Mosiman, jockeyed with Christian Craig for the runner up position. Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda got past Craig momentarily in the early going, but Craig regained third place as Mosiman took over the lead spot – all within the first minute and a half of the 15-mintute plus one lap race. Craig got past Friese a few laps later and started chipping away at the gap to Mosiman. Behind them, Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence got around Shimoda and set his sights on Friese in third. Friese took a nasty crash in the whoops that allowed Lawrence past. While getting up Friese was hit by Shimoda, who also went down in the incident. Mosiman and Craig separated from the pack with less than one second separating them for several laps. With four and half minutes on the clock Craig made a clean move and took over the top spot. Mosiman retaliated immediately but did not get back around. One lap later Mosiman put on another pass attempt but it lost him time and put him just outside of striking distance. The Anaheim 2 event kicked off the announcement of the returning partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The long-running partnership allows Supercross teams and fans to help the children of St. Jude through supercrosslive.com/stjude or by texting « Super » to 785833.

Anaheim 2 also marked the fourth time in Monster Energy Supercross history that the first four rounds in the 450SX Class have been won by four different riders. The racers will line up for Round 5 on Saturday night inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The Arizona race is the first of three Triple Crown events on the 2022 schedule. Qualifying heats are replaced with a three-Main Event format for each class, leading to intense racing action with the overall tally paying title points at the end of the night.

Chase Sexton Dominates San Diego Supercross for First 450SX Class Win

Chase Sexton Dominates San Diego Supercross forFirst 450SX Class Win
Michael Mosiman Nabs His First Victory in 250SX Class

San Diego, Calif., (January 23, 2022) Chase Sexton of Team Honda HRC earned his career-first Monster Energy AMA Supercross 450SX Class win in front 41,902 cheering fans inside Petco Park in downtown San Diego.

Monster Energy Supercross returned to Petco Park following a two-year hiatus. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. Sexton’s victory marked the third different winner in as many rounds of the 2022 Supercross series. Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac followed Sexton over the line with his best finish of the year, moving the 2020 champion into the points lead. Tomac’s teammate Dylan Ferrandis also nabbed his first podium finish of the year with a charge forward from a mid-pack start. In the Western Regional 250SX Class, Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Michael Mosiman held strong under pressure to grab his first Supercross win with a wire-to-wire victory.

Chase Sexton had the start, the speed, and the composure to grab his career-first 450SX Class win. He and other racers flew military-inspired graphics and gear at the Military Appreciation round. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. Sexton grabbed the holeshot in the 450SX Class Main Event but gave up the early lead to Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin. Three minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race, Sexton cut back under Musquin and from there steadily pulled away from the pack. Behind him, Tomac pushed past Musquin but could not gain on Sexton on the slick San Diego soil. Defending champion Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb and opening round winner Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen traded positions as they both overtook Musquin before five minutes had ticked off the clock. Round 2 winner Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson was on the move early. He made quick passes on his way forward and took advantage of a tip-over by Roczen. Anderson found his way into second at the race’s halfway point and looked to have the track speed to reel in Sexton. Then smoke began to seep from his bike. As power drained from his engine the 2018 champion was forced to limp his bike to the finish, eventually carding eighth place. Anderson’s setback handed Tomac and Ferrandis each their first podium finishes of the year. It earned Tomac enough points to push the Yamaha rider into the championship points lead. Webb put in a late charge on Ferrandis but did not have enough time and settled for fourth. Right on Webb’s rear wheel at the end, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart duplicated his best finish of the season with a fifth place result. The incredible parity of the season has Tomac in the points lead with no wins, and Webb tied for second place, only one point back, also with no wins yet. Sexton shares second spot with Webb courtesy of his San Diego victory. Sexton was the fifth different San Diego winner in the last five races at the venue. Three rounds into the 2022 season only fourteen points separate the top ten riders, making 2022 the closest title chase in the sport’s history at this point in the series.

Michael Mosiman secures his first career 250SX Class victory in convincing fashion, never relinquishing his lead on the field. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. In the Western Regional 250SX Class, Michael Mosiman grabbed the holeshot ahead of a first turn pile-up that collected several of the class’ top racers. Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence pulled in right behind and paced Mosiman for much of the Main Event. After a few looks at the lead, and with less than two minutes left on the race clock, Lawrence got sideways in the whoops then crashed into the back of Mosiman’s bike and went down. Lawrence remounted but Mosiman held on for his first 250SX Class victory. The stadium crowd split its attention between the battle for the lead and the heroic charge of Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig. Caught up in the first turn pile up, Craig was the last rider to remount. He advanced nineteen positions and salvaged a podium finish to retain his points lead. Also on the ground in turn one, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda made a great charge of his own, reaching fifth by the finish. The 17 round series heads north for Round 4 and the second of three 2022 events inside Angel Stadium of Anaheim in Anaheim, California. Tickets are on sale for the daytime FanFest and the night racing that has been spectacular this season.

Jason Anderson Back on Top at Oakland Supercross

Jason Anderson Back on Top at Oakland Supercross
Christian Craig Repeats Win in 250SX ClassOakland, Calif., (January 15, 2022) Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson had an emotional return to the top of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross podium after 47 races without a win for the 2018 champ. Red Bull KTM’s Aaron Plessinger grabbed his best 450SX Class finish with a strong second place result in front of a crowd of 42,918 that encircled the track inside RingCentral Coliseum. Repeating his third place finish from the opening round, Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia took third on the night and captured the points lead after two rounds of the 17-round series. In the Western Regional 250SX Class, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig followed up his opening round win with his first back-to-back Supercross victories.

Jason Anderson earned his new team a 2022 Supercross win at Round 2. It was Anderson’s second race on the Kawasaki and his first win since his 2018 championship season. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo grabbed the Holeshot and held the lead early ahead of a stacked field on the loose and fast Oakland track. Still recovering from a pre-season shoulder injury, Cianciarulo stayed up front for the first four minutes of the 20-minute plus one lap race before eventually dropping back to finish twelfth. It was teammate Jason Anderson, in only his second race on the Kawasaki, who took over the front spot and was never challenged for it. The victory was Anderson’s first win since his championship season in 2018. Aaron Plessinger and Justin Barcia both started outside the top five but charged forward. Just past the five minute mark Plessinger took over second. Before the race’s midpoint Barcia advanced into third. The two riders would stay close but never challenge one another for a position change. Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Eli Tomac, the 2020 champion, steadily recovered from a mid-pack start. He reached fourth place with just over nine minutes on the clock but was not able to close in to make an attack on Barcia for a podium spot. Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb was following a second-place finish at the opening round but the defending champion was only able to fight up to seventh after a slow start. Opening round winner Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen started well but got shuffled back outside of the top five. Three and a half minutes into the race the Honda rider got out of shape in the whoops and crashed hard into a berm. Roczen would remount slowly and eventually finish thirteenth.

Christian Craig looked flawless on the challenging Oakland track. The second win in two rounds plants Craig solidly in the points lead in the 250SX Class. Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment, Inc. In Western Regional 250SX Class racing, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda nabbed the Holeshot with Christian Craig quickly on his rear fender and applying early pressure. Two minutes into the 15-minute plus one lap race, Shimoda stalled the bike and Craig slipped past. Two more minutes into the race Shimoda crashed hard in the whoops and dropped back to eventually finish in seventh. Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence steadily moved through the pack to earn second place. Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker took another 2022 podium finish with third. The series drops the gate again on Saturday night inside Petco Park in San Diego, California for Round 3 of the 17-round 450SX Class series and 9-round Western Regional 250SX Class racing.

This Week In Supercross 2022 – Round 2

Ken Roczen Wins Supercross Season Opener in Anaheim
Christian Craig Kicks Off Western Regional 250SX Class with a Victory Anaheim, Calif., (January 9, 2022) The 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series kicked off Saturday night with Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen grabbing his fourth season opener win in the 450SX Class inside a sold-out Angel Stadium. Defending champion Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb charged hard for a second place finish amid the screaming of 45,050 race fans. Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia, who was in line for a record-breaking fourth-straight season opener victory, put in a smart and fast ride to fill out the podium with third. In the Western Regional 250SX Class, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Christian Craig turned a good race start into a great start to his season with his first win inside the stadium in which he grew up watching Monster Energy Supercross from the stands.

Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton grabbed the holeshot in the 450SX Class Main Event but his teammate Roczen was past him almost instantly. The two Honda riders quickly gapped the field by more than six seconds, with sophomore 450SX racer Sexton keeping clear of potential contact but looking like he had the speed to make a pass for the lead. Behind them, struggling with a pre-season shoulder injury, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo held third place with Barcia behind but not yet applying pressure. The first eight minutes of the 20-minute plus one lap race were outwardly uneventful, but then things started to happen rapidly and dramatically. The Honda teammates nearly made contact in mid-air; shortly after that Sexton got out of shape at the end of a rhythm lane and crashed entering a bowl turn. He recovered quickly but crashed harder a lap and a half later re-taking second place from Cianciarulo. The second crash dropped Sexton well outside of the top five. Barcia took second from Cianciarulo, then a few laps later Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson, the 2018 series champion, passed Barcia to put a green bike back into second place. Barcia quickly retaliated and put Anderson on the ground. Then Cooper Webb put on one of the late-race charges that’s he’s become known for, putting his KTM into second place with just over three minutes left on the clock. Amid the position changes up front, Chase Sexton climbed back as high as fourth before giving up the spot up to Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin right at the checkered flag.

Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker grabbed the Western Regional 250SX Class Main Event holeshot but Smartop Bullfrog Spas MotoConcepts Honda’s Vince Friese pushed past into the lead early. Christian Craig moved quickly from fourth to second, then made the move into the front spot less than four minutes into the 15-minute plus one lap race. On the fifth lap Hammaker got past Friese with Muc-Off FXR ClubMX’s Garrett Marchbanks right behind. Marchbanks applied pressure for the spot, but it was Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence who put in the final attack for the spot with contact in the final corner. It was not enough to take the position. Other title favorites Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Michael Mosiman and Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda ran into trouble early but showed speed climbing through the pack that indicates they’ll be battling for wins in the coming rounds.
