ROUND 1 / JANUARY 6, 2024 ANGEL STADIUM OF ANAHEIM / ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P76 rolled too much. It's a bit of a greasy move from me, but it is what it is." Honda's Jo Shimoda came on strong after a poor start and finished fourth, just behind Kitchen. Shimoda, a favorite to win the 250SX West race coming into A1, fell in his heat race and finished ninth, barely qualifying directly into the main. However, he had a poor gate pick and rounded the first lap of the main in 10th. Vohland held on for a top five, with Beaumer one spot back after running second for the first half of the race. Garrett March - banks, Mitchell Oldenburg, Ryder DiFrancesco and Carson Mumford rounded out the top 10. CN 450SX 1. Jett Lawrence (Hon) 20 Laps 2. Jason Anderson (Kaw) +7.188 3.
