450 MOTO 1
Hunter Lawrence dominated the first 450 moto with a wire-to-wire win. The Honda HRC rider took the holeshot but briefly lost the lead on the opening lap. He still fired back to take over the top spot from Cooper Webb and proceeded to lead all of the 17 laps. Hunter set the fastest lap of the race and was long gone as second place finished more than 10 seconds back.
Jett Lawrence clawed his way to second at the finish line. The points leader started outside the top five but slowly worked his way through the field as he does. Jett eventually passed into second but his brother Hunter was over 15-seconds clear and he could not make up the gap. A second still keeps him in the running for the day’s overall win.
Jorge Prado held on for third. The Red Bull KTM rider started up front with Hunter Lawrence but slowly lost the tow from the leaders. Prado ran a lonely third for the rest of the race but faced pressure from Deegan in the closing laps. Prado fended off the number-38 and rounded out the box to start the day.
450 MOTO 2
Hunter Lawrence made it a clean sweep on the day with 1-1 wins in Pennsylvania. The Honda HRC rider did it again with another wire-to-wire win in race two over his brother Jett. The two were close in the early stages of the moto but Hunter slowly inched away and eventually won by nearly five seconds. With another perfect day, Hunter is now two points back from the championship lead.
Jett Lawrence took second on the day with 2-2 results. The points leader didn’t seem to have anything for his brother Hunter in the second moto as a series of mistakes in the early laps allowed Hunter to slip away. He ran three-to-four seconds back for the whole race and took home a safe second overall. Jett still holds the points lead by just two over Hunter.
Haiden Deegan rounded out the podium for his second overall podium in the 450 class. A hard-fought second moto saw him track down and pass Jorge Prado which put Deegan third in the moto and broke the tie between the two. Deegan turned up the heat and set his fastest times of the race in the final three laps, looking the best he had all day. He got close to Jett in the final few laps but 4-3 results put him third overall and sees him third in the championship.

250 MOTO 1
Casey Cochran grabbed his first holeshot of the season in the opening 250 moto over the rest of the field. The Rockstar Husqvarna rider held the top spot for the first 10 minutes of the race but later finished fourth.
Cole Davies earned his third career moto victory with a win to start the day. The fastest qualifier slotted into second but took over the lead with 11 minutes left once the early leader, Julien Beaumer, fell from first. Davies held on to a narrow victory by just 1.5 seconds over second place at the line.
Beaumer put in a hard charge after his fall and still took second. at one point he was seven seconds up on second place and even with a fall he remounted in podium position. He put together some solid laps in the closing stages of the race and finished just over a second behind.
Jo Shimoda rounded out the top three after rounding the opening lap outside the top five.
250 MOTO 2
Cole Davies did it again in the second moto with another big win. The Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha rider took the holeshot and led all 17 laps over the rest of the field. Davies made it look easy and put his technical skills to use on the rutted race track. This is Davies’ best day in Pro Motocross as he was fastest in every session of the day.
Julien Beaumer battled his way to second in the moto which earned him second overall. The KTM rider ran third for nearly the whole race but passed Kayden Minear for third with six laps remaining. Beaumer showed some serious pace today in one of his most consistent showings of the season. He’s now third in the championship points, two back from the leader.
Kayden Minear took third in the second moto, putting him third on the day. Minear followed his teammate Davies at the front for most of the race but eventually fell victim to Beaumer’s pass late in the race. This is still Minear’s best showing with his first career podium and fifth overall.
Jo Shimoda rounded out the overall podium in third. After a third in race one, Shimoda battled through the pack in the second moto. After a quick squabble with his Honda HRC teammate Chance Hymas, Shimoda could only get up to fourth even with a late-race fight with Minear. A 3-4 put him third on the day and sees him second in the championship, just one point back from Kitchen.
Tough day for the Pro Circuit Kawasaki team as none of their riders finished on the podium. Levi Kitchen finished fourth overall and still holds the red plate by one point over Shimoda. Seth Hammaker entered the weekend tied for the points lead but crashed out of the second moto and now sits fifth in the standings.
