O
n maybe the hottest, most humid race
day of the summer, Monster Energy Ka-
wasaki's Eli Tomac reached the winner's
circle for the first time in this series, while Team
Honda's teenaged sensation Jett Lawrence had
his best day ever, sweeping both 250cc motos
to move back into the points lead of the 2021
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.
Tomac battled for the win for much of the first
450cc moto with points leader Dylan Ferrandis
of the Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha
team before letting the Frenchman get away at
the end. But the second time out, Tomac put on
a riding clinic, overtaking surprise early leader
Cooper Webb and motoring off with the moto
win and the overall.
Ferrandis would end up second with 1-2 fin-
ishes, while Red Bull KTM's Webb, the '21 AMA
Supercross Champion, earned his first overall
podium of the summer season.
In the 250cc class, the younger of the Law-
rence brothers was simply riding on a rail all day
