Monster Energy AMA Supercross series leader Jett Lawrence extended his 450 SX championship lead with an emphatic victory in Daytona, Florida. Daytime rain ahead of the event made conditions challenging but Lawrence was able to power through the pack to claim victory at round eight of the series.
In perfect celebration of the 50th anniversary season of AMA Supercross racing, the Daytona International Speedway is the only venue to host a Supercross race every season, uninterrupted, since the start of the series.
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Eli Tomac scored a strong second place finish, ending his streak of five straight wins at the venue. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Chase Sexton led the pack at the start and finished up with a third-place finish in front of record-high attendance for Daytona Supercross.
“It felt great. I felt good all day, but like I said, we came here for business,” said Lawrence. “I’m just happy to come out of here with a win. Now I only hope we can keep clicking them off. I improved on my mistakes from last weekend, so I’m pumped about that and I’m ready to go on to the next few. This win means the world. The first time coming here and already winning a Daytona, it’s awesome. It’s like a home race for me. I gotta thank the crowd, they’re wild.”
