Arlington, Texas (February 24, 2024): Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb took an impressive win at Round 7 of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross season in front of 67,319 fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Webb had a good start in the main event, typical Webb style, where he turned a bad qualifying and heat race into a remarkable main event performance! His win is his sixth in the Dallas region, extending his record for most wins in the area. He was behind Honda’s Jett Lawrence most of the main event in second until the rookie made a mistake and handed the lead, hence the win to the two time 450 Supercross Champ. Here’s what he had to say about the race:
“Obviously I got a little bit of a handout [when Jett crashed] but man, I just kept pushing my laps [and] was trying to stay as close as I could to Jett. The track got really tough, especially over where he fell; it was really hard to get that rhythm. And I just saw him down, I’m like, ‘Oh, man.’ What a ride! I’m pumped. I gotta give it up to my team. I had a terrible day, lost a lot of confidence and they came to me and told me, excuse my French, but I’m a bad MoFo and to pull my head out of my [rear], and that’s exactly what I needed… Jett was riding incredible and, man, I just can’t believe it still. I’m in shock. Gotta give it up to this place, it’s always good to me… I might as well just buy a suite here because I love this place.” – Cooper Webb
