ness in the 250SX main event.
The Monster Energy Pro Circuit
Kawasaki rider led every lap en
route to another victory and be-
came the first repeat winner on
the East Coast. He moved to the
lead on lap one and saved a few

in the opening laps, but kept it
upright. Hammaker stayed con-
sistent and kept Hampshire at
bay to take the win by under five
seconds. As the only two-time
winner, he now solely controls

250SX East
The race for the 250SX East
Championship is still in high
gear with two red plates lining
up in East Rutherford. Both Seth
Hammaker and RJ Hampshire
shared the points lead with de

fending champ Tom Vialle only
great day," Cooper said. "I quali-
fied first, but I had a little sick-
ness this week, the first one of
the year, so I didn't know what
to expect and how the racing
would go. At the end of the heat
race, I was kind of out of breath,
and that was way shorter than
the main, so I knew I was going
to be in for it. I felt strong in the
main. I felt like I rode well; it
was just nothing flashy. I didn't
have any sprint in the main, and
I couldn't muster any energy for
that last podium spot, which
was unfortunate."
