Austin
Forkner, who won the
Detroit opener over Max Anstie
and Daxton Bennick, set the
early fast laps in qualifying with
his Monster Energy Pro Circuit
Kawasaki KX250, but his team

mate, Seth Hammaker, who
topped
the combined qualifying,
ended the night with fourth in
the main.
Monster Energy Pro Circuit
Kawasaki rider Cameron McA
-
doo looked strong in Q1 and
Q2,
but he was one of several
victims of a sand section and
washed out the front end in the
second session. He remounted
to claim fifth in Q2 and earned a
seventh-place start in the main.
Deegan on his Monster En
-
ergy Star Racing Yamaha was
quick
in the early sessions, fin-
ishing Q1 on top, and had a fifth-
place
start in the main. Deegan
took the holeshot in the main,
with teammate Nick Romano
breathing down his neck.
They were followed by
Forkner, who snuck past both
Romano and Deegan in the
whoops section.
Jalek Swoll, who was fifth in
the first 250SX heat race and
had a decent start in the main,
made contact with FirePower
Honda Racing's Max Anstie just
after the first lap, and Swoll and
his Triumph TF 250-X took flight
over the Tuff Blocks, landing
hard on the concrete off the
track.
The medics were with him for
quite some time, and he was
eventually assisted to his feet
and carted off in the medic Mule
for evaluation.
"I spun off the gate [at the
start of the main], which put
me midpack, but, honestly, I]felt
really good and loose, ready to
battle," Swoll said on social me
-
dia. "Unfortunately, me and Max
hit right on the take-off, I felt
I
had a wheel on him going into
the pocket. Just a race incident."
Forkner held his lead for 16
laps in front of Deegan and
his Monster Energy Pro Circuit
Kawasaki teammates Seth
