Fresh from taking the AMA Supercross premier-class championship in his rookie season, Jett Lawrence kicked off his defence of the AMA Pro Motocross 450 crown with a stellar 1-1 overall win at Pala, California’s Fox Raceway. Jett is yet to be defeated in the class, as this event extends his tally to 24 moto wins and 0 losses.
As if that weren’t enough for Team Honda HRC, Hunter Lawrence notched a stellar second-overall finish in his outdoors debut aboard a 450, thanks to solid 2-3 results. Hunter got an incredible jump off the 450 moto one start but ran a bit wide, allowing his brother to knife underneath in turn one and exit with the lead. Hunter battled with Aaron Plessinger for half the race until he was able to get back into second just after midway, behind his brother. The pair stayed in that order to the finish.
The second moto start was almost identical, except this time Hunter held off Jett across the holeshot line. Jett nonetheless got around shortly after, and the brothers battled hard for the first part of the race. Just past the midway point, Red Bull KTM’s Chase Sexton got around Hunter and challenged Jett, but the younger Lawrence held strong to the finish. Hunter’s third-place result was good for second overall.
