Team Honda HRC with Jett Lawrence – in his first racing appearance at the World Center of Racing – took a 250SX East heat-race.
TORANCE, CALIFORNIA –
The ninth round of the 2022 AMA Supercross series was also the 52nd Daytona Supercross at Daytona International Speedway. Team Honda HRC with Jett Lawrence – in his first racing appearance at the World Center of Racing – took a 250SX East heat-race win before charging to a dominant main-event victory.
In the main event, Lawrence took over the lead by turn 2. Consequently, he quickly established a decent gap. The young Australian rode flawlessly to the checkers further with a winning margin of over 14 seconds. For that reason, taking sole possession of the points lead and the red plate. It was the fifth 250SX win of his career this time. The second in the three East Region rounds held so far this year. And the fourth in his last six indoor races going back to last season.
FINISHING THE HEAT RACES
In the 450SX class, Chase Sexton and Ken Roczen simultaneously earned third-place finishes in their heat races respectively. Before Sexton secured the same result in the main event – the seventh premier-class podium of his young career – while Roczen finished seventh. Moreover, Sexton enjoyed a decent main-event start aboard his CRF450R. And gained valuable positions early on as a result of a Jason Anderson/Malcolm Stewart collision.
TAKING THE CHECKERED FLAG
For the first six laps, Sexton further pursued the leading Cooper Webb. Although the 22-year-old lost a spot to eventual-winner Eli Tomac with 11 and a half minutes on the clock. He evidently continued to ride the rough track with poise and control. Finally, taking the checkered flag in third place. To conclude, Sexton now sits fifth in the title chase. Meanwhile, Roczen enjoyed a decent main-event start and ran as high as fifth early on before slipping to seventh place.
