VOLUME 56 ISSUE 24 JUNE 18, 2019 P61 early there—we were both mov- ing through the pack pretty well, and he got away a little quicker than me after a few laps. But overall, it's a good day. A good, solid day." Tomac and Roczen will both wear the red plates next Satur- day in Florida. Teammates An- derson and Osborne are tied for third place in points, 32 behind the lead duo. 250MX In the 250MX class, much of the talk in the two weeks since the Colorado National surround- ed how upset Justin Cooper (Monster Energy/Yamalube/ Star Racing Yamaha) was after that race, feeling as if the win had been taken away from him. He said he was going to use it to fuel the fire from that point on, and it looked like that might be the case early on at High Point, as he got the holeshot in the passing the AMA Supercross champ just a couple of laps later for second. Webb hung on for third in front of Osborne, who made a late-race pass on his teammate for fourth. Anderson was fifth, Savatgy sixth, and then came Musquin, who fought his way up to seventh at the finish. Behind him came Bogle and Bloss, but Baggett ended up 15th after a big crash earlier in the race while running eighth. Tomac took the overall win with a 3-2 score, while Roc- zen's 6-1 landed him in second overall and Anderson's 2-5 gave him third on the day. Webb was fourth overall with a 7-3, in front of Osborne's 5-4, Musquin's 4-7 and Baggett's 1-15. "I knew where Blake [Baggett] was, position-wise," Tomac said. "He obviously got that win there, so I had to make up some points on him there. But Kenny was on it. He made the pass on me him out. It's nothing bad, just racing. The track was tough to pass, and [Hunter] Lawrence was out front, so I tried to fig- ure out how to pass and lose as little time as possible. I don't really know—I'll have to watch on TV what exactly happened there—but it's racing." Ferran- dis ended up third in the moto, while Cooper—who led early— ended up sixth. 125 ALL STAR Pennsylvania's own Chase Yentzer was the big winner in the 125 All-Star race. The 16-year-old, aboard a KTM 125 SX, beat a gate full of 125cc two-stroke racers. Fellow Pennsylvanian MacCoy Shine (Husqvarna) was second, followed by Luke Vonlnger (Husqvarna), Trevor Schmidt (KTM) and Justin Cokinos (KTM). Briefly... Australia's Hunter Lawrence won the first 250MX moto. It was his first moto win in the U.S.
