Jett Lawrence Dominates at Fox Raceway

Jett Lawrence extended his winning streak in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship, taking the top spot in both the 450 and 250 classes at Fox Raceway. The Australian rider has now won four consecutive 450 motos and remains undefeated overall in both classes.

Race Highlights

  • Early Lead: Lawrence took an early lead with a strong start, followed closely by Justin Cooper and Chase Sexton, who battled for second place.
  • Eli Tomac’s Struggles: Tomac started eighth on the opening lap after a poor start and struggled to find his rhythm.
  • Sexton’s Setback: Sexton lost his goggles during the first lap, costing him five seconds before receiving new goggles from his team.
  • Hunter Lawrence’s Move: On Lap 2, Hunter Lawrence passed Sexton to move into third place.
  • Tomac’s Optimism: By Lap 3, Tomac passed RJ Hampshire for fifth place and expressed optimism about his performance despite not matching his riding quality with results.

Key Moments

  • The gap between Cooper, Sexton, Hunter Lawrence, and Tomac stabilized over several laps until traffic intervened. Cooper Webb began experiencing issues with smoke coming from under his seat, allowing Jett Lawrence to close in on their group and enabling Tomac to pass Justin Cooper for fourth place behind the leader, Jett.
  • Jett’s impressive performance is particularly notable given that it has been three months since he returned from ACL surgery without losing any time or form—a remarkable achievement considering the challenges of regaining fitness after such an injury.

Brothers’ Racing History

The racing history between the Lawrence brothers is limited; they have faced each other only six times outdoors so far, which is not enough experience for either superstar. Eli Tomac commented, "I’m feeling pretty good," after qualifying seventh earlier in the day, adding, "It feels like I’ve been riding better than my results show."
