T
he Monster Energy AMA Supercross
Championship held round seven in
the Lone Star State at Arlington's
AT&T Stadium. Coming into the home
of the Dallas Cowboys, seven riders in
the 450SX Championship points stand
-
ings were separated by just 17 points,
with five different winners in the previ-
ous six rounds. Team Honda HRC's Jett
Lawrence was the only one with two wins
until Arlington, and his third-place finish at
the last round in Glendale two weeks ago
moved him into a narrow six-point lead,
displacing Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's
Chase Sexton, who says that he is still
dealing with a bone bruise on his hand but
feels like it is improving.
Despite a tumble in a sand section that
would claim more victims throughout the
night, Lawrence topped the combined
qualifying chart over Sexton and was lead-
ing laps in the main, looking as if he had
his third win in the bag. Then it all changed
when Lawrence was separated from his
bike in a crash and Monster Energy Ya-
maha Star Racing's Cooper Webb got past
for his second win of the 450SX season.
Cooper Webb wins for the second time this season, and Haiden
Deegan wins his first 250SX Supercross main event
