ROUND 15 / APRIL 27, 2024 LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD / PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P68 to pass on. That didn't seem to faze the reigning champ, who eventually found himself second and working toward the leader, Lawrence. Sexton set the fast- est lap of the race, a full half- second quicker than Lawrence, but ran out of time late in the race. A second-place result keeps him fourth in points, and now he is just two back from Eli Tomac in third. "I had a horrible gate pick from the heat when I went down," Sexton said. "I didn't get a great start and I was able to make my way through the pack and had some good laps. I think I had some more of my normal speed; I haven't really had it all year but I feel like I'm coming into form in these final races of the series." MCADOO/ ROCZEN OUT Both Cameron McAdoo and Ken Roczen sat out round 15 due to injuries sustained at the previ- ous round in Nashville. McAdoo suffered a broken scapula and aggravated muscles in his shoul- der, while Roczen's crash in the whoops left him with a broken tibial plateau, foot and toe. Both will sit out the rest of the Super- cross Championship. TRIUMPH'S FIRST Jalek Swoll earned Triumph its first heat-race win. Swoll, the brand's sole Supercross racer, held off Deegan for the victory in the second 250SX heat race. He again ran in a podium posi- tion during the main event before crashing with Hammaker and finishing eighth. Briefly... PETERS IN PENNSYLVANIA The Phoenix Racing Honda Team came to Philadelphia with a full rig, as reigning AMA Aren- across Champion Kyle Peters made an appearance alongside Dylan Ferrandis. Peters made it straight to his first main event of the year and finished 12th. Ferrandis returned to action from injury and logged ninth.
