>>250SX West The gate dropped three times, as well, for the 250SX West division. Lawrence topped the charts in qualifying and claimed an elusive first win of the 2022 season. Lawrence won only one of the three races but was in the mix all night long. His consistent 2-1-2 finishes earned the overall after a dramatic night on the track. Lawrence tailed Craig in races one and three, and capitalized on a huge crash involving Craig and SmarTop/BullFrog Spas/ MotoConcepts Honda's Vince Friese in race two. As Friese and Craig came together just before lap one was complete, Lawrence pounced into the lead and never looked back. Despite a late-race charge by Michael Mosiman, Lawrence held on and led all 11 laps. "The first race, when I got into second, [Craig] already had a good gap," said Lawrence of his night. "I was like 'Okay save it, we're not likely to pull five or six seconds back in on this short time.' Then the second one obviously happened. And then the last one I was pushing and sprinting, but it was tough. Everyone was really similar in speed, but just did the best I could, and it worked out to- night." With this win, Lawrence cut Craig's points lead to single digits at eight. The real drama of the night involved second-place finisher ROUND 5 / FEBRUARY 6, 2022 STATE FARM STADIUM / GLENDALE, ARIZONA P58 SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES Hunter Lawrence celebrates his first 250SX win of the year with a champagne "shoey" in a nod to Australian Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo.
