season not truly starting until
the Daytona round, and he's
sticking true to that belief. The
points leader put his pre-race
mistakes behind him (crashing
in qualifying and the heat race)
and led every lap of the 450SX
main event, seemingly unfazed
by the infamous Indy ruts. To
Webb is hitting his stride. The
Monster Energy Star Racing
Yamaha now has three wins this
year, scoring all in the last four
rounds. He's quickly become
the championship favorite, as
he's finished second or better in
the last six rounds. Webb has

27 MALCOLM STEWART
6TH 450SX
Malcolm Stewart won his heat race
and finished just outside the top five
in the main event. "Back-to-back heat
race wins were good from Daytona
and Indy, and then in the main event,
I didn't get a great start and tried to
pick my way through. But with the
track being rutty and technical, if
you're not 100 percent on, it can be
difficult. I felt a little off in the main;
got a bit tight."
MYOWNRACE
83 AUSTIN FORKNER
12TH 250SX
Triumph's Austin Forkner had a
promising qualifying session but
struggled in the evening program. "I
qualified a lot better in the timed ses-
sions; I was happy with that," he said.
"I got a good start in the main event,
despite my bad gate pick, but I got
pushed into the tuff blocks. I rode too
timid while at the back; the track was
so sticky with a lot of ruts. I settled in
around the halfway mark and started
riding decent. I went from last to 12th
and that is not terrible, especially in
the 250SX East/West Showdown."
