450 MAIN
Aaron Plessinger and Shane McElrath fought for the holeshot in the main event but they collided and both went down. KTM’s Chase Sexton was pushed off the track and Star Racing Yamaha’s Cooper Webb was slowed up behind the carnage as well, forcing the championship leaders to work through the pack.
Justin Barcia took the early lead on his GasGas followed by Suzuki’s Ken Roczen and Kawasaki rider Mitchell Harrison. Barcia’s lead was short lived as he appeared to miss his brake pedal and flew over the top of a berm, handing the lead to Roczen.
Roczen led Joey Savatgy and opened a gap while Sexton and Webb worked their way through the pack. Sexton was up to second with Webb close behind well before the halfway point and steadily closed the five second gap to Roczen made a pass for the lead with a little over eight minutes remaining. It took Webb a little longer to pass Roczen for second and he lost touch with Sexton, who took the win with a 2.6 second lead.
Roczen held on for third position, 24 seconds behind the winner but well clear of Malcolm Stewart in fourth. Savatgy held on for fifth position, his best result of the season.
Sexton’s win shaved three points off of his deficit to Webb and he now trails his rival by 12 points with four rounds remaining.

250 MAIN
Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker took the lead ahead of Star Racing Yamaha’s Cole Davies and Red Bull KTM’s Julien Beaumer while RJ Hampshire and Coty Schock were down in the first turn. But red flag due to Daxton Bennick crashing in the whoops resulted in a complete restart.
Rockstar Husqvarna’s Hampshire took full advantage by taking the lead over Hammaker and Haiden Deegan. Deegan’s Star Yamaha teammate Cole Davies was in fourth place but on the move.
Davies quickly moved past the three riders in front of him by using better lines in the rutted corners and took the lead. Deegan worked his way past Hampshire for second position with six minutes remaining and put some strong laps at the end to close to 1.5 seconds behind Davies but ultimately finished second.
Hampshire finished third, which helped him move into a tie for the Eastern Region 250SX championship lead with Hammaker. Honda’s Joe Shimoda made a late race pass on KTM’s Tom Vialle to finish fifth. Vialle held onto sixth position and dropped to third in the Eastern Region 250SX championship.
Deegan holds a commanding seventeen-point lead over Davies in the Western Region 250SX championship.
