Weather Woes: Rain Challenges Race Day!
Good morning, race enthusiasts! As we dive into the second race of our historic four-race series in the Northeast, we regret to inform you that the rain has followed us! After muddy conditions in Foxborough last weekend, press day was disrupted, canceling riding sessions due to the track being covered in tarps. But don’t worry—now that race day is here, the tarps are off! Let’s see how the conditions play into today’s high-stakes competition.
Cooper Webb currently holds a 15-point lead over Chase Sexton in the 450SX standings, while Haiden Deegan leads Julien Beaumer in the 250SX West Division by the same margin. And that’s not all; the 250SX East Division sees Seth Hammaker and Tom Vialle tied for first! Expect the unexpected as this exciting race unfolds!
First Qualifying Sessions: Who Shined?
With the track now free of tarps, first-time bikes hit the newly revealed course, revealing some puddles but surprisingly solid jump faces. In the 250SX overflow session, Trevor Colip clocked in with a top time of 55.418, while RJ Hampshire took the lead in the 250SX East Division with an impressive 52.736. The 250SX West Division saw Haiden Deegan dominate with a fast lap of 51.976, but not without hiccups—several riders, including Gavin Towers and Jo Shimoda, faced minor crashes.
Heat Races: Drama Unfolds!
In the highly competitive 250SX East heat, Seth Hammaker stormed out with a holeshot, but drama ensued when Tom Vialle took a nasty fall, ending his race early. Despite the chaos, Hammaker maintained his lead and clinched yet another victory. Meanwhile, in the first 450SX heat, Cooper Webb and Shane McElrath fought fiercely for the lead, but Aaron Plessinger proved to be the dark horse, clinching a close second as the heat wrapped up.
Main Events: Races for the Ages!
The 250SX East/West Showdown main event kicked off with Hammaker snagging the holeshot, but a red flag interrupted the excitement following Daxton Bennick’s crash. When the race resumed, RJ Hampshire surged ahead to steal the lead, ultimately taking the win, followed closely by Deegan and Hammaker.
The 450SX main event featured a wild start that sent several riders, including Shane McElrath and Aaron Plessinger, crashing out. Justin Barcia grabbed the holeshot but soon found himself off track, allowing Ken Roczen to take the lead. Eventually, Chase Sexton charged ahead, passing Roczen and securing a commanding victory—an essential win that tightens his grip on the championship race!
