ROUND 10 / MARCH 12, 2022 FORD FIELD / DETROIT, MICHIGAN P76 SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES silent, I didn't hear anything! It scared the living daylights out of me, all I saw was a front fender and I was like 'Whoa.' The track was pretty tight and the first group of lappers I got to, there was four or five of them and they were going hard. The track was tricky because there's so many lines and ruts, but it's harder for them because they're still trying to hit their lines and not mess anyone else up. It was definitely tricky." With another win under his belt Lawrence extends his points lead to eight over Cam- eron McAdoo. The number-48 of Cameron McAdoo kept his title hopes alive with another come-from-behind win in the main. He was the only 250 rider to touch the 43-sec- ond mark in qualifying and his time was so good in fact, that it would've put the young Aussie fifth overall in the 450SX class. In the main it continued to be the Jett Lawrence Show, as he technically took the holeshot, but moved into the lead by the third turn. From there he went on to lead all 21 laps of the 250SX East main. His competitors did manage to get close at one point though, as lappers played a big part late in the race. "This guy comes up on the in- side," Lawrence said laughingly, grabbing Pierce Brown. "Every- one revs it in the air, this guy was to remount. He got back on the number-21 Kawasaki but fell over again just one section later. An- derson looked dazed and pulled out of the race right after, drop- ping him to 21st on the night. Tomac's lead in the champion- ship has skyrocketed to 42 over Anderson and Stewart who are now tied for second. Barcia is just three points back in fourth and Webb is another 11 points back in fifth. >250SX East Detroit was business as usual for Jett Lawrence as he logged another perfect Saturday with the fastest qualifying time, a heat race win, and a near wire-to-wire Jett Lawrence was in a class all his own in the 250SX East main.
