450SX Anderson is on a winning streak right now. The Monster Energy Kawasaki team leader continues to add to his string of victories, lock- ing up his third in a row in Denver. He snaked his way through the first few turns and managed to come out third behind Chase Sexton and Tomac. A costly mistake put Sex- ton on the ground, which Ander- son narrowly avoided on his way to the front. He stalked Tomac before making the pass and checking out. A tricky triple into the sand section allowed Anderson to really break away from the rest of the field and win by well-over 10 seconds at ROUND 16 / APRIL 30, 2022 EMPOWER FIELD AT MILE HIGH / DENVER, COLORADO P76 SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES MYOWNRACE 21 JASON ANDERSON 1ST 450SX "I started the day confident about my experience on these condi ons and ready to fight for the win," said Jason Anderson. "Although the championship is coming to a close, I'm s ll eager for more race wins. The track was tricky today and demanded a lot of pa ence so, once I got out front in the main, I really focused on hi ng my marks each lap. While the hard-packed sec ons worsened throughout the race, I stayed locked in and had a lot of fun set- ng the pace from the lead. This was my sixth win of the season and I'm ready to go end it with another one in Salt Lake City." 23 CHASE SEXTON 4TH 450SX 2022 450 Denver Supercross Highlights Jason Anderson (21) breezed past Tomac for the lead and eventual win. Tomac needed only to place 14th or better to clinch the 2022 title. A fifth was more than enough to get the job done. "I qualified first again and won my heat race, which was good," said Chase Sexton. "I had a really good day going and pulled the holeshot in the main event but just made a dumb mistake—hit the li le curb they had by the mechanics' area and fell over. A er that, I feel like I rode pre y good and made some good passes to get all the way back to fourth. Not ideal, but it's something I can build off of because I feel like I rode well a er my li le incident."
