Scott Palmer comes within a whisper of his first final-round showing of the season CHARLOTTE (April 28) — After a problem-plagued two days of qualifying where he failed to get his Magic Dry Organic Absorbent Top Fuel dragster down the track under full power, Scott Palmer came to life when it mattered most, racing to a fifth-place finish at the 10th annual NGK Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals. Coming from the No. 10 qualifying position after mustering only a best of 4.103 seconds at 273.05 mph during three rounds of time trials, Palmer upset heavyweights Antron Brown and Brittany Force to lead his quad of racers in the opening round of eliminations with a 3.782 at 325.61 mph. Good friend and teammate Dom Lagana also advanced from the group with a second-best 3.796 at 320.51 mph.  The semifinal round of eight wasn’t quite as lucky for Palmer, who was forced to shut off a bit early, crossing with a 4.279 at 217.53 mph, which was bested by both stablemate Steve Torrence (3.777 at 324.05 mph) and Terry McMillen (3.828 at 316.75 mph). Combined with the other foursome, Palmer ended up just outside the top four who raced for the trophy in fifth place on the day.  In similar fashion, fellow Magic Dry racer Shane Conway was also able to rack-up an elimination-round win this weekend in Top Alcohol Dragster action. After qualifying 13th with an off-pace 5.630 at 243.06 mph, mainly due to weather shortening qualifying to just two rounds, Conway got past a -.058-second, red-lighting Robin Samsel with his best run of the meet, a 5.376 at 267.96 mph. Conway then gave it back a round later when he jumped the start by -.038 seconds against eventual event winner Julie Nataas, who blasted to a 5.281 at 270.64 mph. “It was great to get the win over Samsel because he runs a lot of races every year, usually like 10-11 national events and 4-5 regionals, so that’s a very experienced team,” Conway said.  “We had some struggles this weekend, especially coming from Houston and thinking we were finally on the other side of the learning curve. We basically struggled with ignition stuff right off the bat. The whole weekend was rough, not just on the track but in the pit too. But, in spite of the struggles, we still made it to second round. We’ll go home and get set for the Chicago race. With the JEGS Allstars that weekend, all the top cars are going to be there.” — About Magic Dry 100% Organic Multi-Purpose Absorbent Utilizing the all-natural, super-absorbency of coconut husks, Magic Dry 100% Organic Multi-Purpose Absorbent is the perfect solution to all kinds of liquid spills.

ACT Late Model win for Bryan Kruczek, first PASS Mods score for Matty Sanborn

Oxford, Maine — Garrett Hall of Scarborough, Maine drove to an impressive Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model victory Sunday afternoon at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway, taking the lead away from reigning series champion DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire, then hanging on to the top spot to end a year-plus dry spell on the region’s top Super Late Model circuit.

Hall, three times a winner in PASS action prior to last season, seemed almost surprised to be collecting the big trophy after struggling prior to the main event.  After starting 20^th in the 33-car field Hall patiently worked his way into contention, chasing down PASS opening day winner, and defending series champion, DJ Shaw of Center Conway, New Hampshire. 

Shaw had his hands full just getting to the lead after starting 11^th.  Barre, Vermont’s Nick Sweet turned in the quickest laps of the day while setting the early pace before gremlins drove the car to pit road under green flag conditions.  Maritime Canadian Pro Stock champion, and 2018 PASS North race winner Cole Butcher of Nova Scotia took command after Sweet was sidelined.

Butcher and Shaw soon waged a long battle for the lead as Hall steadily moved upward in the running order.  Late caution periods in a race that was otherwise reasonably trouble-free offered Hall an opportunity and the Blackpoint Motorsports driver got his Norm’s Used Cars 94 past Shaw and into victory lane.  Hall’s last PASS Super Late Model victory was a memorable, wreck-after-the-checkered win over Ben Rowe at his hometown racetrack, Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in September of 2017.

Shaw’s runner-up finish unofficially vaulted him to the top of the current PASS North Super Late Model standings.  Cassius Clark of Farmington, Maine, who won on opening night at Oxford Plains Speedway last year, earned third-place honors aboard the Nova Scotia-based King Racing 13.

Butcher, recently relocated to his new house in Hantsport, Nova Scotia, led a bunch of laps and ended up crossing the line in fourth position.  Reigning Oxford Plains Speedway Super Late Model champion Gabe Brown of Center Conway, New Hampshire rounded out the top five after lining up in the back row for the start of the 150-lapper.

Reigning PASS Super Late Model National Champion Derek Griffith of Hudson, New Hampshire, who was one point ahead of Shaw in the PASS North SLM rankings entering the event, ended up with sixth position.  Maine and New England Hall of Famer Mike Rowe of Turner was seventh, followed by 2017 OPS track champ Alan Tardiff of Lyman, Maine, 32^nd-place starter and former series champion Travis Benjamin of Belfast, Maine and early-race frontrunner Ashton Tucker of Lyttleton, New Brunswick.

Super Late Model heat race victories were posted by Shawn Martin of Turner, Maine along with early race leadr Sweet and runner-up Shaw.

Bryan Kruczek of Newmarket, New Hampshire prevailed in a wild ACT Late Model Tour main event, shortened to 125 laps after about a dozen caution periods interrupted the 2019 points opener for the regional series.  Kruczek, making his debut in Bobby Webber’s 19, drove by former Oxford 250 champion Joey Pole, Jr. of Hudson, New Hampshire to claim the victory.

Graniteville, Vermont’s Chip Grenier led early before Kruczek and Bobby Therrien swapped the lead a bit before Pole rolled into contention.  Pole looked good when the green flag stayed out but frequent cautions worked in Kruczek’s favor and the former PASS winner at OPS added an ACT victory to his resume. 

Pole was second across the finish line, with Hinesburg, Vermont’s Therrien earning third-place spoils.  Jimmy Hebert of Williamstown, Vermont was fourth, with early leader Grenier filling out the top-five rundown.

Matty Sanborn of Windham scored a popular, first-ever PASS Mods win, leading all 40 laps on his way to victory lane.  It wasn’t as easy as that sounds, as fellow first-win seekers Mike Carignan of Lebanon, Maine and Spencer Morse of Waterford, Maine both mounted stiff challenges that were turned back by Sanborn.

Morse, who spun out of the lead pack and fell to the rear of the field at one point, charged back into second position under the checkered flag, with first-time PASS Mods racer Justin Larsen, the 2013 Mini Stock division champion at Oxford Plains Speedway, earning third-place hardware.  Carignan and Billy Dixon of North Waterboro, Maine rounded out the top five.

Kenny Harrison of Durham, Maine prevailed in the 50-lap Honey Badger Bar & Grill Street Stock Series opener, inheriting the race lead when Gary Babineau of Hollis Center, Maine couldn’t maintain the lead when aggressively challenged by Jordan Russell of Norway, Maine very late in the race.

Harrison, 52, outran 2017 Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy Street Stock track champion Billy Childs, Jr. of Leeds, Maine to the checkered flag after Babineau’s misfortune.   Babineau recovered enough to finish in third position, ahead of Oxford’s own Skip Stanley, and Russell.

Jimmy Childs of Leeds, Maine dominated the action in a 50-lap race for North East Mini Stock Tour competitors.  Childs patiently worked his way into contention and worked his way past early leader Zach Audet of Norridgwock to claim a lead he would not relinquish. 

Jake Rheaume of Rochester, New Hampshire earned runner-up honors in front of Mike Viens of Seekonk, Massachusetts.  Audet bounced back from a later spin to claim a fourth-place finish.  Jarod Soucy of Marlborough, Massachusetts rounded out the NEMST top five.

The next event for the Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models is scheduled for Saturday, May 11 at Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire, with post time set for 4:30 p.m.  PASS Mods see action next on Sunday, May 5 for a 1:00 p.m. program at the historic Hudson Speedway in Hudson, New Hampshire.  The next event at Oxford Plains Speedway is the rescheduled and revamped opener for the Budweiser Championship Series divisions, with Super Late Models, Street Stocks, Bandits, Figure 8 and Rookie divisions all in action with double feature events.  For more information visit oxfordplains.com, proallstarsseries.com or call (207) 539-8865 for more information.

Bryan Kruczek (#19NH) earned his first ACT win on Sunday at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway. (Alan Ward photo)

Large ACT Late Model field kick’s off the 2019 racing season at OPS

Oxford, ME – Newmarket, NH’s Bryan Kruczek grabbed his first career American-Canadian Tour (ACT) win at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday, April 28 after a thrilling back-and-forth battle in the event’s late stages.

Kruczek took the lead for good from Hudson, NH’s Joey Polewarczyk for good on lap 107 of an event that was shortened to 125 laps after a rash of cautions. He then pulled away over the final 18 circuits to win the ACT Late Model Tour season opener.

The Late Model and Super Late Model veteran, who is in his first year driving for Bobby Webber Jr Racing, started third in the main event and got underneath polesitter Chip Grenier of Graniteville, VT on the eighth lap. Kruczek held the top spot through a series of yellows until the event’s sixth caution on lap 45 for Corey Mason’s spin.

While Kruczek lined up with Grenier on his outside for the restart, it was Hinesburg, VT’s Bobby Therrien who made a daring three-wide move into turn one from the third position to get the lead. Therrien would pace the field through several more cautions while a series of drivers diced for position behind him, including Kruczek; Polewarczk; St-Edourard, QC’s Dany Trepanier; Lebanon, NH’s Rich Dubeau; and Steuben, ME’s Rowland Robinson Jr.

Kruczek poked the bumper back out front for three circuits following a lap-85 restart. Therrien would get ahead once again on lap 89, but was barely in front of a four-way battle with Kruczek, Therrien, and Trepanier.

The 96^th circuit would alter the complexion of the event. Lancaster, NH’s Shawn Swallow went for a spin to bring out the 12^th caution of the event. On the restart, a five-car tangle happened in turn one involving Mason, Scott Coburn, Marc Begin, Peyton Lanphear, and Christopher Pelkey. At this point, the decision was made to shorten the event to 125 laps from the scheduled 150 due to the amount of yellows, setting up a 29-lap sprint to the finish.

On the restart, Therrien and Kruczek went toe-to-toe for the advantage. But on lap 99, the two slapped doors in turn 2 and slid up the track slightly. Polewarczyk, a four-time ACT winner at Oxford, saw his opportunity and darted three-wide underneath them to move into the lead.

However, the battle was far from over. Kruczek muscled his way beneath Polewarczyk off turn two a few laps later and led lap 105, only for Polewarczyk to return the favor a lap later. It was Kruczek making the final move, however, putting the crossover on Polewarzcyk on lap 107 for the ninth and final lead change of the event. He then drew away in lapped traffic in the closing stages to earn the victory.

Polwearczyk eventually settled for second. Therrien crossed the line third but was disqualified in post-race technical inspection for a wheelbase violation. This handed the final podium spot to Williamstown, VT’s Jimmy Hebert, who had come on strong late in the event.

Grenier inherited the fourth spot after falling back as far as 14^th in the middle stages. Dubeau rounded out the top five. Robinson, Trepanier, Scott Payea, Quinny Welch, and Dylan Payea also earned top-10 finishes.

Heat race wins when to Ryan Kuhn, Kruczek, Scott Payea, and Polewarczyk. Dylan Payea and Wayne Helliwell Jr. won the consolation rounds.

The ACT Late Model Tour continues its fast early-season start at Barre, VT’s Thunder Road next Sunday, May 5 at 1:30pm for the 21^st Community Bank 150. ACT will be joined by the stars of the track’s Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Models as well as the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, Allen Lumber Street Stocks, and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors. Admission is $25 for adults and free for kids ages 12 and under.

Shane Conway keeps on slaying giants  in his Magic Dry Top Alcohol Dragster CONCORD, N.C. (April 25) — Third-year driver Shane Conway probably will not be a threat to the Top Alcohol Dragster world championship again this year simply because his business endeavors in Houston keep him from running a full-time schedule. But that’s not to say he won’t influence the outcome of the title chase, or any race he enters for that matter. Tuned by his accomplished father, longtime NHRA standout Tom Conway, Shane has made a habit of knocking off some of the biggest names in the category in the handful of races he runs each year. That was the case two weeks ago in Houston when he stalled top-10 runner Mike Bucher in Round 1. “Every time we run this car we are learning things,” Shane said. “We only have 12 runs on this car since the guys at Copeland Race Cars updated everything so every time we run it we find something that we like.  “Even though we ran this chassis before with Mike (Manners) driving it and me tuning it, the fact is I don’t drive it the way he does, so it’s been changed a bit. Plus, we’ve changed a lot of other stuff from when Mike owned the car so it’s a different car now.” This weekend’s race marks the third of the year for the Conway clan. They’ve competed at one regional and one national event so far, in Dallas and Houston, respectfully. “We just have to get some more laps on it and figure out what it wants,” Shane said. “We’ve already been in the 5.20s with it and it’s also been more than 275 mph so it’s definitely got the potential. “Whenever you have a car freshened up it changes some things and that’s what we’re working through right now. It was nice to get the round win in Houston, especially against a top team, but we always want more. I think we can do better.”  Racing at zMAX Dragway, at least from behind the wheel, will be another new experience for Shane as he continues his transition from crew chief to driver. “I raced in Charlotte last year with Doug Foley,” Shane said. “We also went there a couple times with Mike Manners, but this will be my first time racing Charlotte as a driver. That’s like Houston; I’d been racing in Houston since 1999 but never driven there until two weeks ago. “Hopefully, we have some more success. At the very least we don’t want anyone to take us for granted.”   About Magic Dry 100% Organic Multi-Purpose AbsorbentUtilizing the all-natural, super-absorbency of coconut husks, Magic Dry 100% Organic Multi-Purpose Absorbent is the perfect solution to all kinds of liquid spills.

It will be in concert with the 94th annual Laconia Motorcycle Week in the Lakes Region of NH.

CHANDLER, Ariz. (April 28, 2019) – JD Beach (No. 95 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) pulled off an improbable come-from-behind victory to claim his first-career American Flat Trackpremier class win in Saturday night’s thrilling Law Tigers Arizona Super TT presented by RideNow Powersports at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Ariz. AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines title leader Briar Bauman (No. 14 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) appeared well on his way to a seemingly effortless victory deep into the 25-lap Main Event. Bauman was firmly in control — not just in the Main Event, but all day long. He railed around the flowing Super TT circuit, through right- and left-hand corners, and up and down the many elevation changes. However, Beach simply would not be denied. The determined Beach refused to concede the race despite Bauman’s daunting advantage and finally started making headway after half-distance. He slowly reeled his quarry in and finally positioned himself to attack with just two laps remaining. The multi-time national road racing champion made his move up the inside entering Turn 2 and pulled clear from there to at last complete the long-awaited breakthrough achievement.  Making the win even sweeter was the fact that it took place in Estenson Racing’s backyard and represented the first premier class AFT win for a Yamaha twin since Scott Pearson won the Peoria TT in 1981. After the race, Beach said, “It’s amazing. This is something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid. We’ve been close before but never quite got it. To ride the race that I did — to be back from Briar like that and catch him and pass him with two to go — was awesome. “I’ve just got to thank the whole team. We’ve definitely had our highs and lows this year so far. They’ve worked so hard. It’s a great feeling, but we’ve still got a lot of rounds to go and a lot of work to do. We’ll have some fun tonight and get back to work tomorrow.” Runner-up Bauman admitted, “I had nothing for him. He came by me like I was tied to a tree… The bike was great all night. I thought I was in a pretty good position. I got the start and did everything right. The only problem is JD Beach came, so here were are in second.” Bauman could take solace in the fact that he continued his perfect podium record on the season and extended his title lead to 18 points after four rounds. Reigning Grand National Champion Jared Mees (No. 1 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) followed up his Texas Half-Mile win with a lonely third in the Arizona Super TT. Jeffrey Carver Jr. (No. 23 Roof-Systems of Dallas/Indian of Metro Milwaukee FTR750) finished fourth after just managing to hold off Beach’s teammate, Jake Johnson (No. 5 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT), who added to Estenson’s joy by putting a second rider in the race’s top five. Roof Systems AFT Singles presented by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys TT maestro Jesse Janisch (No. 132 Roof Systems Dallas TX/Öhlins Yamaha YZ450F) upped his Roof Systems AFT Singles presented by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys TT win streak to three with a wire-to-wire victory in Saturday night’s undercard Main Event. Janisch added Saturday’s win to his season-opening triumph in the DAYTONA TT and last year’s dominant run at the Peoria TT to further his reputation as the category’s preeminent rider in the discipline. The win did not come easily, however. Janisch found himself under heavy pressure throughout the Main Event courtesy of points leader Dalton Gauthier (No. 122 D&D Cycles/Gobert Smash Husqvarna FC450). Gauthier threw everything he had into one final strike at the checkered flag, pulling alongside Janisch as the two exited the race’s last corner and powered up the decisive jump. Despite Gauthier’s Herculean last-ditch effort, Janisch held on by a scant 0.105 seconds at the line. “This race was so much about the start,” Janisch said. “These guys were flying all day… I just tried running clean laps. Roof Systems Dallas TX got me off to a great start, and I was trying to watch the monitor and I saw Dalton right on me. But they kept going to a different battle, and I wanted to see where Dalton was at! He was really coming on that last lap.” 2016 AFT Singles champion Ryan Wells (No. 94 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) took full advantage of Estenson Racing’s home-track advantage to execute an inspired mid-race push. He somehow managed to track down Janisch and Gauthier and transform the Main into a three-way fight for the win — at least for a time. While Wells’ challenge ultimately faded down the stretch, he still came up big to score a hugely encouraging third — his first podium of the season after opening 2019 without a top-ten finish in the year’s first three events. Mikey Rush (No. 15 RMR Honda/Red Riders Rewards Honda CRF450R) backed up his Texas Half-Mile runner-up with a fourth-place run in Arizona. He had to fend off a charging Dan Bromley(No. 1 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-F) to do so after the defending class champ carved his way up from outside the top ten to round out the top five.  Catch the feature broadcast of the Law Tigers Arizona Super TT presented by RideNow Powersports on NBCSN with flag-to-flag coverage of both Main Events, enhanced by exclusive features and cutting-edge aerial drone and onboard footage.



East Rutherford, N.J., (April 27, 2019) It was a night of excitement, drama, and significant championship point moves in the penultimate round of the 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The 450SX Class Main Event dropped the gate with four racers still with a mathematical chance at the title. When the checkers flew the crowd of 61,247 cheered for Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb, taking his seventh win of the season and stretching his points lead to 23 with one round remaining and only 26 points available to the winner of each round. In the Eastern Regional 250SX Class,GEICO Honda’s Chase Sexton took his first-ever Monster Energy Supercross win and also the points lead; he holds a nine-point advantage, but the final round is a 250SX East/West Showdown round where nine points can be easily made up or lost. . Prior to the start of the 450SX Class Main Event, Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquinhad earned the fastest qualifying time and a Heat Race win. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac was looking fast but had given up his Heat Race win with a crash. Point leader Cooper Webb was unimpressive but was riding while ill, having been under the weather all week. When the 22 riders funneled through the first turn, Cooper Webb emerged with the holeshot with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Zach Osborne and Eli Tomac right behind while Musquin picked himself off the ground after high siding over another rider’s rear wheel. Tomac wasted no time getting around Osborne and the match up was set – number one and two in the points going for a win at the second to last round of the season. At just under two minutes into the race Tomac got cleanly around Webb, but Webb was not looking to settle for second and the two riders traded the lead and rode several sections side by side during the first five minutes of the 20-minute plus one lap race. Just before the midway point the leaders looked to have settled into their positions up front; meanwhile Musquin had worked his way up to tenth. Then Tomac got off balance in one of the two whoop sections and crashed softly, handing the lead to Webb. While Tomac picked his bike up and pursued from fourth, Osborne moved into the lead until a bobble that almost sent him over a berm dropped him back to third. Tomac had the fastest pace and with three and a half minutes and one lap remaining, Tomac got back into second place; but one minute later he repeated his previous mistake and went down in the whoops in what looked like a replay of his first crash. .  Cooper Webb brought home the victory, his seventh this year – and seventh total after three years contesting the 450SX Class. With more wins than Tomac, and a twenty-three point lead, Webb can ensure his first Monster Energy 450SX Title with a 20th place (out of 22 riders) at the final round next weekend in Las Vegas. Right after the race, Webb said, “It was tough. I was just getting handed [gifts] left and right. Guys were making mistakes and I felt good. I was starting to battle with Eli for a bit and then tightened up a little. He got a good flow, but he crashed and then Zach was all over me. And I rode good, but man, those guys were a little better. But, I think when they got around me [they found out that] it’s tough to lead out there the way the track is. You’ve got to be so precise, and they made some mistakes and gave me a nice gift… I can’t believe it. I felt like crap all day and all week, so I was just glad to be out here. And the goal was a top five, so to get a win is incredible, and I thought for a second I clinched it, but it’s all good. It’s crazy how life works. You can be – this morning I was puking in the bathroom not knowing what I was going to do tonight, stressing, and then we’re winning tonight so, man, God’s good for sure… It’s obviously a great momentum booster for me and to get another win is awesome for me and for the team; they work so hard. And anything can happen, obviously when racing, we saw tonight, a lot can happen but it’s nice to go with a little better lead and we’ll see what will happen next week.” Osborne was feeling good after proving he has the speed to lead, “It was an incredible race. To lead some laps and pass for the lead and just be in there and get that experience was huge for me. As you said my [late 2018] off-season performance was really, really good and I came into a couple weeks before Christmas and had an injury and it was pretty much worst-case scenario from there. And it’s just been a long, long comeback trail. Our chaplain here at the track, he talked about facing giants this morning and that’s what I feel like I’ve been doing all season. And today I conquered some giants and I’m very blessed to stand here right now.”  Tomac took his third-place finish in decent spirits, acknowledging his double mistake that cost him the win in the same stadium that set back his championship hopes just two years ago. Tomac said about tonight’s race, “That was something else, you know. I somehow managed to do that exact same move twice during that race. Just jumped in the rut there, as I was watching on the replay, my weight was too far right both times when I landed in the rut and then the notches got me, and I go into the same exact Tuff Blox. So disappointing… I could maybe get away with one of those, but both wasn’t gonna do it tonight. So, just giving everything I had. I mean, that’s all I could do, right? Trying to stay in the front but a couple of mistakes got me… that was tough… That was my whole goal to keep this [title fight going] to the next race and we did that. I still would’ve liked to have been in front of Cooper but all we can do is take it to Vegas again. He’s got a sizeable lead now, so take it to Vegas and learn from our mistakes.” In the Eastern Regional 250SX Class Chase Sexton grabbed his first ever Monster Energy Supercross win and took over the points lead in the process. It was a dramatic day leading up to the Main Event. Sexton was only three points behind Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Austin Forkner; Forkner had earned zero points at the previous round due to a torn ACL in his left knee from a practice crash that same day. Forkner wasn’t at 100% in qualifying in New Jersey, pulling out midway through the second qualifying session but still qualifying with the third fastest lap time. When the gate dropped on the Main Event JGRMX/Yoshimura/Suzuki’s Alex Martin was out in front with the holeshot, with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Martin Davalos, Forkner, and Sexton right behind. Sexton got right around Forkner, but before the pack had completed a lap Forkner aggressively slammed his way back past in a 180-degree bowl turn. Shortly after, Alex Martin went down, and title contenders Forkner and Sexton looked to be closing in on race leader Davalos. Two and a half minutes into the Main Event, Forkner landed hard on a flat landing and aggravated his knee. He rolled off the track in obvious pain, out of the race for a DNF and just one championship point. A little over six minutes into the race, Sexton took the lead away from Davalos and stayed composed on the challenging track to take the win, and with it a nine-point lead in the championship chase with one round remaining. Sexton’s closest competitor, Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha’s Justin Cooper, finished third. Cooper’s teammate Mitchell Oldenburg, split the title contenders for his first podium of 2019. Anything, especially making up big point gaps, can happen at the final round next weekend in Las Vegas where both the Eastern Regional and Western Regional 250SX Classes compete in one combined Main Event for single-event points payout. Fresh from his first win, and now the points leader, Sexton said, “It’s unbelievable. It couldn’t happen at a better time. The track is super gnarly, so it was probably the longest fifteen minutes plus one lap of my life. It was super good, I mean I got off to a pretty good start and honestly Austin was trying to take me out, and I mean, you can’t win a race like that. I know it’s for a championship but trying to saw a front end off is not cool. So, I’m just glad that I got into the lead and took this one. It feels really good and I’m pumped. This feels so good. I’ve been wanting to do this for two years now, so I’m pumped on it.” Earning his first podium in two years, Mitchell Oldenburg said from the podium, “Man, it’s unbelievable. It’s been a long two years for me. Just with injuries and just mentally I didn’t know if this was for me anymore. My wife’s been there for me since day one, really got me through those two years and man, this feels amazing. I’ve been working hard and everyone around me has been so awesome and believing in me and I just need to believe in myself. I can’t give it up to the team enough… It’s been a long time coming and it feels good to finally get this done and get this monkey off my back again.” When asked about passing and taking the second place points away from his teammate, Oldenburg said, “There was no team orders from our side so I was just going out there to do the best I could. I really wanted to win and I felt comfortable all day. My bike was working amazing all day long. We made some good changes today and I really trusted the team with their input and their thoughts on the bike and it really paid off tonight.” Third place on the night and now second place in points, Justin Cooper was disappointed after not feeling comfortable all day, “Ever since first practice I was kinda struggling to find my flow. I kinda went out in the heat race, got a bad start, but was able to work my way through the pack pretty quick and able to feel more like myself. But I don’t know, in that Main Event the whoops were pretty treacherous and kinda hard to skim, so even jumping them I thought I would save energy, but I was just… I didn’t feel good on the bike the whole Main Event, [and] it showed out there. I wasn’t able to ride; my times were just dropping. Kinda disappointing but I struggled all day so I can’t really complain with a podium, but definitely not what we were going for today, and we’ll see what we can do in Vegas… [I want to thank] my whole family, fans out here, a lot of people supported me, I [live] an hour from here, was able to sleep in my own bed this week, so that was cool. Pretty cool experience to race here, good to get on the podium, but it’s just not what we’re looking for so we’ll take it into Vegas… It’s a bummer to have Austin go out like that. He was riding pretty good the first couple of laps. It sucks for him, it’s no good… But all in all, glad to be on the podium, just gotta get a little bit more comfortable in the next one.”  The 2019 Monster Energy Supercross season wraps up next Saturday night at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. With two riders still in contention for the 450SX Class title, three riders still vying for the Eastern Regional 250SX Class title, and two riders only eight points apart in the Western Regional 250SX Class title, it’s sure to be another exciting night to cap off an incredible season. The race will air live on a unique network, the USA Network at 10:00 PM Eastern time, 7:00 PM Pacific time. 450SX Class Results1. Cooper Webb, Newport, N.C., KTM2.
