450MX
The Jett Lawrence show con-
tinued at round one of the 2024
outdoor season.
The young Aus-
tralian is now embarking on his
second
full outdoor season in
the 450 class and he hasn't lost
a moto yet. He picked back up
right where he left off. Lawrence
has never lost an overall at Fox
Raceway and Saturday was no
different as he led all 30 laps of
racing. Things did get exciting
in the second moto, as Chase
Sexton hounded the Honda rider
for most of the moto, and his
older brother, Hunter Lawrence,
was right there, too. Lawrence
kept his cool and held the lead
over his former teammate,
Sexton, crossing the line just
over a second ahead. Another

15TH (24-10) 250MX
"Today, I had a lot of nerves, but
overall, it was a pretty good week-
end," said Ty Masterpool after his
crazy weekend. "I started the day
qualifying in sixth, which I was stoked
on. In moto one, I got a good start,
but when I switched up my lines, I
took an outside rut and went down
in a flooded area, which caused me
to lose significant time. I went down
again, which was all my fault, but the
second moto was a step in the right
direction. I had a pretty bad gate pick
but managed to come around in the
top 15. In the second corner, that is
where we really got tangled up, but I
worked my way up to 10th. I took my
time in the second moto."
51 JUSTIN BARCIA
5TH (6-6) 450MX
Justin Barcia looked fast all day and
used a pair of sixths to take fifth over-
all. "The first moto, I got off to a good
start. The second moto, also got off
to a good start and was about to have
a holeshot but was bumped from be-
hind, so that cost me a few positions.
I fought hard, charged the whole
moto, and I have a lot of building to
