Amazingly, Jett Lawrence is still undefeated at the Fox Raceway circuit, going 1-1 to beat another AMA legend in Eli Tomac, who went 4-2 and third was big brother Hunter with 3-4 scores. Defending champion, Chase Sexton DNFed the opening moto after a violent crash saw him retire from the day.

Jett Lawrence: It was a long recovery, and the pain killers were different and I don't take any drugs or anything and you put something like that in your body, it freaks out a little and I was going through pain in my leg. Luckily I had my brother and we spent weeks together and we had each other company and it was good mentally building. To go through that today and I am super pumped. It was good to show up and block that out and take care of it. The build-up you are excited, but you haven't done it for so long, it isn't as challenging as you think. Even though Eli was behind me, I could feel him and his bike is so loud compared to mine, but there are limited areas where you can push and some areas he was better. The sections I could hear him, I just tried to defence. Most of the time it was one lined, but it felt like a chess game, because we both had areas and it was a cool race.

The Moto's

It was Jett Lawrence who dominated the first 450 moto with a flag to flag victory. The young Aussie showed his love for the Fox Raceway circuit by just running his own race, while behind him there was chaos.

Defending champion, Chase Sexton, who was running inside the top five had some problems with his goggles and threw them off on the first lap and then made a big mistake, crashing and pulling out of the moto.

R J Hampshire had a solid first moto of his 450 career, holding fifth for much of the race before getting passed by Aaron Plessinger and finishing sixth, just ahead of Jorge Prado. Eli Tomac also showed good speed after a poor start. Cooper Webb’s, the AMA Supercross Champion held a top ten spot early, until his bike expired and he like Sexton failed to finish well, ending in 37th place.

In the second moto, Hunter Lawrence pulled the holeshot, although his brother quickly took over the lead and then Tomac had other ideas, passing Hunter Lawrence for second on lap two and started catching Jett Lawrence.

Lawrence and Tomac started checking out almost right away with Tomac applying more pressure to Lawrence, although Tomac dropped back to several seconds, yet as the race came to an end, Tomac again came up on Lawrence, who was able to again pull away from the AMA legend. Lawrence again showed he is the man to beat as the Sexton (Lawrence) jinx continued.

In the 250 class it was Haiden Deegan, the defending champion who went 1-1, beating home Jo Shimoda who scored 2-2 results and third was two time World MX2 champion, Tom Vialle with 4-3 results.
