the first of three Triple Crown
rounds, which features a shorter
three-race, main-event format
that determines one overall win-
ner. Shane McElrath also took
advantage of the Triple Crown's
three races to win the 250SX
West class. He follows opening-
round winner Colt Nichols and
Arizona winner Adam Ciancia-
rulo. Webb follows previous
450SX-class winners Justin
Barcia and Blake Baggett.

T
hree rounds into the 2019
Monster Energy AMA
Supercross Champion-
ship, and there has yet to be a
repeat winner in either class.
Perhaps even more notable than
that is points leader Ken Roczen,
Eli Tomac (second in 450SX
points), defending series cham-
pion Jason Anderson, and (in the
250SX class) Dylan Ferrandis all
have yet to win a main event.
Conceivably, this streak of new
winners could very well continue
this coming weekend in Oakland,
California, for round four of the
series. All this makes for what
has been an exciting and unpre-
dictable start to the 2019 AMA
Supercross series.
Cooper Webb was this week's
new winner in the 450SX class
at Anaheim 2, and it came in
Six-For-Six
For the third race in a row, both the
450SX and 250SX West classes have
seen a new winner on the season
