MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 7 / FEBRUARY 13, 2021
CAMPING WORLD STADIUM / ORL ANDO, FLORIDA
P58
250SX East
Jett Lawrence nailed the hole-
shot in the 250SX East main with
the two championship leaders
settling in right behind him—
Nichols second and Craig third.
Lawrence, who is no longer in
championship contention after
missing a round in Houston due
to an injury, had nothing to lose
and let it rip in Orlando. He was
rewarded with his second career
victory.
"Today was a smooth day,"
Lawrence said. "I felt like I
rode very smart...I felt like I
was smarter with my thinking
process. In the main event, I
executed my start very well and
was able to manage the race
to the checkered flag. Colt was
on me, which was good to have
the pressure there, keeping me
on it."
Nichols chased Lawrence the
whole way and never gave up
on the win, but he was happy
to finish ahead of Craig. "I just
didn't quite execute the start
as well as I wanted to," Nichols
said of the start. "Jett got ahead
of me and was able to control
the inside. So that was kind of
the race right there.
"The track was a little difficult
to pass on, and it was so slick,"
Nichols added. "The moisture
started to come up, and it got
slicker and slicker as the night
went on. So that made it tough.
But overall, I can't complain.
I got some points in second
place, and that's always a good
thing. I just was a little bummed
about my riding. I felt really flat
