It was a track I didn't want to take a whole lot of risk on. We're still in a really good spot for points, and we'll go clinch it next week in Denver." 250SX East It was lights, camera, action for the 250SX East riders as Foxborough served as their final individual race before the "I was a little bit slow at the beginning," Sexton said. "After Eli stalled it, I picked the pace up a bit. I knew Jason was going to be good after watching him all day and in the heat race. I knew if I wanted to win I had to go with him and there was a part during the race where I felt like I was riding really well.

Tomac had a shot to wrap up the title in Foxborough but in- stead logged the worst result of his 2022 campaign. The Yamaha rider started up front but after stalling the bike with Anderson, the number-three just looked to play it safe for the duration of the main event. A seventh-place fin- ish does little to harm his points lead, as he will likely wrap things up next weekend in his home state of Colorado. "It was a tough main event," Tomac said.
