fire from Webb. This allowed
Webb past, with Sexton forced
to settle for second. His 3-3-2
finishes tied him on final points
with Webb at eight, but the
overall was awarded to Webb
on account of his final-race win.
Sexton received second on the
night putting him third in the
championship.
"The last main event, I
washed the front in that corner,
just came in a little too fast,"
Sexton said. "Eli was still in
reach, I felt, and I had a really
good pace. Obviously, I didn't
get the win. Lapped traffic didn't
help but everyone has to deal
with the same stuff."
Tomac announced his com

mitment for the Pro Motocross
Oakland,
he looked for redemp-
tion in Arlington. He put on a
phenomenal ride in race
one,
finishing third after tangling
with Jason Anderson and being
nearly dead last off the start.
He then found himself third
in race two after a battle with
Monster Energy Star Yamaha's
Eli Tomac. But it all came down
to race three, as Sexton and
Tomac again duked it out for
the top spot. The 23 machine
later tucked the front end while
giving chase and essentially
handed the lead over to Tomac.
But soon after Tomac returned
the favor with a mistake of his
own, Sexton found himself back
in the lead, only for lappers
to play their role while under

Sexton nearly won the night,
but lappers held him up.
