Sexton quickly moved up into second, but Jett led the remain - ing five laps to take back-to-back moto wins. Sexton had another small get-off and finished three sec - onds behind Jett, with Hunter first four laps after quickly pass- ing holeshotter Muc-Off/FXR/ Club MX's Phil Nicoletti, who drifted back quickly. Soon, right behind Anderson were Hunter, Jett and Sexton. Jett wasted little time getting around his older brother, as did Sexton. Jett soon caught Anderson. While Jett was battling Anderson for the lead and slowing each other up, Sexton said thank you and quietly slipped past both riders in one swoop. Jett then fin - ished the pass on Anderson for second, and the showdown for the moto win was on between Sexton and Jett, which was ex - actly what the High Point crowd came to see. And it was indeed a great battle—while it lasted. ROUND 4 / JUNE 15, 2024 HIGH POINT RACEWAY / MT.
