Hunter Lawrence grabbed the holeshot and led the first half of the race until Jett made the pass for the lead and won his eighth race in his rookie season. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson finished third, while Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Cooper Webb finished in fifth, losing 8 championship points to Jett. “It was a good night. Just more happy to get this for the team, honestly. They work so hard and we love those guys so much and this is the only way we can really, really repay them. And yeah, unreal, I think that was history for brothers going 1-2. So yeah, big night for Jett as well points-wise … [asked if he considered a strategy for helping his brother and possibly not pushing for the win] …the championship’s not about me right now, you know, it’s about Jett and Cooper. And the point of having a teammate is to, you know, help you out and stuff. You’ve seen over the past decade, so I was glad I was just able to help Jettson out for once. And yeah, it was cool, but just stoked for the team and yeah, I’ll get that win soon enough.” – Hunter Lawrence hunter lawrence, jett lawrence, supercross Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Jett Lawrence extends his points lead to 12 heading to the last two rounds.
Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence rode unchallenged from start to finish to get his seventh career 450 main event at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The rookie extended his point lead to 12 heading into the last two rounds of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross, organized by Feld Entertainment. Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha rider Cooper Webb rode behind Lawrence but dropped positions until getting forced by Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Jason Anderson to relinquish podium position when he passed him in the final corner before the checkered flag. But it was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton who put on a show, as he was the one battling his way from mediocre starts to second place on the podium. “I might have found some of my speed back in that Main Event. I had some good laps, came from pretty far back and, especially on a track like this that’s really hard to pass on, I feel like I made the best of it. Yeah, we made some big [adjustments] this week on the bike, and it seemed to pay off somewhat. So we’ll go back to work, keep improving, and [we] gotta get another win before the season’s out. I think I’m starting to get back to my normal form, and we’re looking forward to these last two rounds and heading into outdoors.” – Chase Sexton Jett Lawrence extends his points lead to 12 heading to the last two rounds.

Jett Lawrence is back on top and has swung back the championship momentum on his side.
Jett Lawrence got a 20+ point lead and is in total control of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross 450 Championship by Feld Entertainment until he got bam bam’d by TLD Gasgas rider Justin Barcia, but not of either Jett nor Barcia’s fault but just a racing incident. And since then, the momentum has swung against his favor. He found himself losing a huge point lead and tied with two-time Monster Energy Supercross 450 champion Cooper Webb! But last weekend, Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence earned his sixth win of the season with a convincing victory inside Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. At the start of the main event, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac grabbed the holeshot and held onto the lead until the midpoint. He finished in second place, while his Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing teammate, Cooper Webb, who had tied up the points leading into Nashville, earned third place. The finish puts him back five points with three rounds remaining in the 17-round Monster Energy Supercross season. “I hate losing, so that bit of a losing streak really sucked. But [I’m] really pumped to come out and get it done here, especially with the Slash and Gibson [designed] gear. Those people are awesome to us, so I have to say a big shout out to them; I reckon it helped a lot. [I] felt good out there [and] hit my marks. A big [bummer] for Kenny, I didn’t get to fully see [Roczen’s crash] because of all the smoke, but it looked like it was pretty bad, so I hope he’s okay or has a speedy recovery from that. But… this [win] is leading in the good direction, so hopefully we keep it going.” – Jett Lawrence

Jett Lawrence dominated Daytona Supercross
Daytona Beach, Fla. (March 3, 2024): Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence took his third win of the season at Round 8 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship inside the Daytona International Speedway. The rain from the previous weeks made the dirt very soft, and the strong downpour before the qualifying made it arguably the most challenging Daytona Supercross track condition ever. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac settled for an impressive second-place finish, with his bike smoking pretty badly around half way until the end while battling with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton. Tomac’s winning streak of five straight wins at Daytona ended that day.

Eli Tomac versus Jett Lawrence is a draw after 6 rounds.
The most anticipated battle since last year was Eli Tomac versus Jett Lawrence! The last race of the Triple Crown in Anaheim 2 saw Eli Tomac lead from the first lap to the last, and Jett was pushing to catch Eli but crashed in the whoops during the last lap. At the Glendale Arizona Supercross, however, the latter passed Tomac for the last place on the podium. The question now is: did we just witness the changing of the guards in 450 Supercross?
Jett Lawrence reclaims the Red Plate in Glendale Arizona
Glendale Arizona (February 11, 2024) Honda USA Racing rider Jett Lawrence reclaims the overall points lead in the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross 450 class organized by Feld Entertainment. It was a highly anticipated duel between him and Red Bull KTM defending 450 champion Chase Sexton, as they are separated only by one point heading into this round. But the battle didn’t materialize, as the reigning champion was found to be nursing an arm injury sustained during practice last week.
The old Chase is gone, and the new Sexton is here. -Mmf Editorial
Red Bull KTM rider Chase Sexton is the first back-to-back Red Plate holder this season. He looked calm and calculated, which is a sign of maturity for the reigning Monster Energy AMA 450 Supercross Champion. Speed has never been an issue for Chase, as he has the ability to just go fast—actually faster than most of his competitors—but he also crashes a lot.
