"I think all of us were within
one point going into the last
race," Sexton said. "I think there
were four guys that could've
won and it was all or nothing,"
Sexton said. "I'm just stoked
with how I rode; I was really
having fun in that last one. The
second race was a bit of a di

saster, but just pumped on how
we battled back."
Jason Anderson took second
overall for his first podium of the
year. After a quiet start to the
season, the factory Kawasaki
rider looked to put mistakes at
the first two rounds behind him.
A fifth in the first race wasn't
what he was looking for but kept
him in the hunt for an overall
podium. He then backed that
up with an up-front start in race
two, and he stayed ahead of
the battles behind him to take
the win. Race three saw him
up front again early on before
eventually crossing third. Sec

ond overall is a step in the right
direction for Anderson. He's now
fifth in the series standings.

was having some PTSD (from
crashes at A1 and San Diego)
and I just wanted to be on the

went downhill from there. In the final
race, I had a good start but tangled with
the same rider, which cost me a bunch of
spots. I'm super-disappointed on the night
because I felt like I was riding so well, and I
was finally riding like I know how to."
1 ELI TOMAC 6TH
(3-2-13) 450SX
Eli Tomac was in the hunt for the night's
overall but a big crash in the final main
event put him out of conten on. Luckily,
he was all right and finished the race in
13th. "Well, I'll start off by saying I'm okay,
and will be just fine for next weekend," he
said. "So thankful to walk and ride away
from this one unscathed. I jumped the
triple onto the tabletop mul ple mes
throughout the day from the second and
third rut. With Cooper Webb on the inside,
I think my ins ncts to not jump towards
him caused my mistake to dri le off the
ramp. Obviously lucky for this to happen in
the Triple Crown format and salvage sixth
overall on the night."
2 COOPER WEBB 4TH
(7-4-2) 450SX
Cooper Webb is knocking on the door
for a main event win in race three, but
he finished just off the box in fourth this
weekend. "It was an up-and-down night,"
