IIIMY OWN RACE:
3 ELI TOMAC
2-1 450SX
"I've got to start with saying that was a
freaking sweet race," said winner Tomac
a er Sunday's exci ng win. "It's easy to
say for me, because I won, but it was really
fun. On the line I was a li le bit nervous
about my gate. I was pre y far inside. I was
third on the inside there. Kind of played
the safe card but got a really good jump. [I]
slid around with those guys on the inside.
Coop was in front of me. We just got going.
We both had really good flow today on the
track. It was a cool condi on, because we
were s ll able to get those jump combos
and really get around the track, but it was
at the same me a li le bit sketchy enough
to where some guys were kind of flounder-
ing around. [We] went back and forth with
each other twice there. It was just a really
good race."
1 COOPER WEBB
1-2 450SX
"Overall it was an incredible race," Webb
said a er Sunday's race. "We were laying
it all out there. I think I was first to the first
turn and then Zach snuck inside of me.
When I cleared him, it was me and Eli. I
don't know how long I was able to lead,
but I knew he was all over me. It was a
barnburner. He led and then I led. I think I
ended up leading twice. He led twice. The
lappers were insane. From my end, I know
I le it all out there. I felt like we were just
both wan ng to purely win. It's unfortu-
nate to lose by a second, but at the same
Whatever it is, it's bad enough
to seriously affect his perfor-
mance on the track. He's fallen
26 points (one full round) in back
of Tomac and is in danger of los-
ing second to a rapidly closing
Cooper Webb (Red Bull KTM),
who has gone 1-2 versus Roc-
zen's 5-10 the last two rounds.
Roczen is now just six points
ahead of Webb in the title race.
The race for the 250SX East
title remains extremely enter-
taining with Shane McElrath
(Monster Energy/Star Racing
Yamaha) winning for the fourth
straight time at the Utah venue
on Wednesday, which moved
him into a tie for the title lead with
Chase Sexton (Geico Honda).
On Sunday, Sexton finally put the
skids to McElrath's Utah streak,
which put him back into the
series lead by three points going
into a 10-day break in the East
Championship. The West finally
gets its turn to race starting this
Wednesday.
