Philadelphia, Pa., (April 12, 2025) Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton keeps his title hope alive by having a perfect day, getting the pole, and winning both the heat race and the main! He charged from a subpar start caused by the Plessinger and Mcelrath tangle to win Round 13 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Sexton closed the points gap between him and Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Cooper Webb to 12.

Webb finished second behind Sexton, while Suzuki Progressive Ecstar rider Ken Roczen, who got the holeshot and led most of the main, ended up third. “It’s time to make or break. I felt great all day, and that’s how you do it: one, one, one, one [fastest qualifier in both sessions, heat race win, Main Event win]. I’m looking forward to the next race, but today was awesome. Good, dry track, not like last weekend, and I’m feeling good on the bike. It’s been fun and today was a good step in the right direction.” – Chase Sexton
    In the 250 East and West battle, it was a 17-year-old rider from New Zealand who dominated the race. Monster Energy Star Yamaha’s Cole Davies rode a perfect race, going around his teammate Haiden Deegan for the win. Deegan settled for second, while Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s RJ Hampshire is now tied for the overall points lead with Seth Hammaker finishing third.   “I literally grew up watching all the guys that I’m racing right now. It’s a big stage out here, a lot of people watching, but I just focus on myself. Two in a row, I’m stoked. It’s been a long journey to get where I am. To Will – you get to keep your hair, mate. That’s two. So he gets to keep his hair, doesn’t get shaved, so he’s safe. I’m stoked, big thanks to the whole Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha team and my mechanic Lach [Lachlan Mills]. We’ve been putting in the work… The whole group around me is just very, very good and striving to be the best they can. So I’m just stoked for everyone around me.” – Cole Davies, on the podium.
