Supercross is back with round 13 going down inside Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachussetts. Suspensful racing went down in both classes as the points are tighter than ever with only a few rounds left. Both Cooper Webb and Haiden Deegan claimed wire-to-wire main event wins.
Main Events
450SX
Cooper Webb held it down for the entirety of the 450 main event. The number two grabbed the decisive holeshot before setting sail during the next 23 laps. He came under pressure from Ken Roczen and Chase Sexton but held off attacks from both challengers. With another win for Webb and Jett Lawrence finishing off the podium, Webb now ties the points lead.
Chase Sexton crossed the line second. He started outside the podium but battled his way to the back of Ken Roczen. This duo duked it out for the first three quarters of the race before Sexton finally secured the second spot. He made a late run at Webb but two slide outs on the final lap kept him from taking the win.
Ken Roczen took the final spot on the box. He ran second and held off Sexton for the first part of the main event but eventually lost the battle and dropped back to third. This marks Roczen’s sixth podium this year as he’s fifth in the championship points.
Jason Anderson and Jett Lawrence finished off the podium with a battle that lasted until the final turn of the last lap. Anderson held fourth with Jett crossing fifth. Jett lost crucial points and is now tied with Cooper Webb for the championship lead.

250SX East
Haiden Deegan absolutely dominated the 250SX main event. He needs to win in order to keep himself in the championship hunt and that’s exactly how he executed. Deegan led all 18 laps of the main event en route to his second win of the season. He’s now 13 points back in third place overall.
Cameron Mcadoo kept himself in the points lead with a second place finish. The Kawasaki rider moved into third on lap one before setting his sights on second place, Tom Vialle. Mcadoo made the move into second and kept it consistent for the remaining laps. He still holds the red plate by four points over Vialle.
Tom Vialle held on for third place. The Red Bull KTM rider rode in second for the early parts of the main event before losing the spot to Mcadoo. He eventually lost the tow and crossed the line in a safe podium position.
