gap this time was much less,
sometimes under one second,
and the urgency in Lawrence's
riding seemed more obvious
than previous rounds. But the
checkered flag cares neither for
laps led nor margins of victory,
rather simply who is there first.
Lawrence stayed in it to win
it and kept his mistakes to a
minimum while his competitors
450MX
Can Jett Lawrence be beat? The
19-year-old 450 rookie some-
how managed to maintain his
win
streak in Minnesota, but had

4TH (4-4) 450MX
Aaron Plessinger fought hard for
a pair of fourths. "A 4-4, similar on
paper to the last few weeks, although
we're making good progress," said
Plessinger. "I closed the gap to the
lead riders, so I'm happy with the
small gains we've made! We were
better throughout the week, too. I
need to work on my opening-lap
pace, because later in the moto I'm
strong, but just need to improve on
a bit of that sprint speed to get into
position quicker early on."
238 HAIDEN DEEGAN
6TH (5-8) 250MX
Haiden Deegan came into Spring
Creek with the points lead but left
trailing Hunter Lawrence again. "It's
my rookie season, and not every race
is going to be perfect, so we are trying
to finish each round strong and learn.
It was my first time at this track, and
we learned a lot today, with bike setup
and just learning new tracks in general.
Now it's time to go back to the Farm
and start the recovery process and try
to get freshened up for next weekend
so that I can get back on the box. Be-
cause it's not fun being off of it."
