Foxborough, Mass. (April 6, 2025) Red Bull KTM’s Aaron Plessinger wins the muddiest race in recent supercross racing history! The rain poured, and the mud got thicker than ever. He mentioned during the post-race conference about how nervous he was before the gate drop, not knowing what was going to happen in the race, but he ended up getting a good start and managing the whole race with Quadlock Honda Racing’s Shane McElrath behind him. McElrath was impressive the whole race, earned his career-first heat race win, and earned his first career-first podium for second place.
But it was Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha rider Cooper Webb who surprised everyone as he made some late race moves when from position seven he made his way to third place, passing Chase Sexton and Ken Roczen during the last two laps. “In these kinds of conditions you don’t know what can happen. It’s so stressful when you’re leading the championship. You’re hoping your motorcycle makes it first of all, and then just getting into the Main you’re like, ‘All right I can breathe a little bit.’ These are bummer conditions. Nobody truly, I don’t think, wants to race in this unless you’re [Aaron Plessinger], maybe…. [Early on] I had a great pace… then I get excited, and I fall. So, I get up, and you kind of go into panic mode, and then you fall again. So, I fell twice and finally was like, ‘All right, I’m going to just calm down, I’ll take the points loss, but let’s minimize the points, let’s at least get as far up as we can.’ And that’s what happened. I shut my brain off and it’s crazy what happens. You start sending it, you start finding a flow. I don’t know what happened the last lap, I just jumped all the jumps, like my buddy says. It was cool. I’m stoked to be up here on the podium again.” – Cooper WebbJanuary 12, 2025
