his bike and landing awkwardly
on his left leg. The crash re-
sulted in a broken fibula, and
the British
rider was unable to
compete in the night show.
With Anstie out, it allowed a
new face to shine on the po-
dium. It was Anstie's Yamaha
teammate, Nate
Thrasher, who
came away with the overall
win. Thrasher is no stranger to
the top step of the podium but
hadn't finished on the box in
2025. His ultra-consistent finish
-
es saw him take a pair of thirds
in the first two races,
which set
him up in second overall head
-
ing into the final main event.
The Yamaha
rider then had his
finished fifth overall. A 4-6-4
result saw him just shy of the
podium, although his speed
was on par in the opening laps.
Roczen is still third in points, 27
back from Webb.

overall ahead of Jason Ander

250SX EAST
The 250SX East Coast riders
finally got their shot to compete
in a Triple Crown. Their cham-
pionship also became more
attainable,
with former points
leader Max Anstie crashing out
and suffering a broken leg. The
Star Racing Yamaha rider fell
lost seven points on the night
but still leads by eight.
"It was a tough night," Webb
said. "You just can't make that
mistake like I did in the first
race. That pretty much dictates
your night. I had luck at Dallas,
and tonight [I didn't]. You just
can't put yourself in that posi

tion. Obviously, that last one
was a great ride
for me. I finally
applied myself well. It's a bit of
a bummer to get fourth [overall],
but I feel like I was riding good;
that first one cost me."
