In moto one, Lawrence started up front on the factory-backed Honda, while Tomac got shuffled back to 10th place after a decent jump off the gate. Lawrence looked comfortable in the lead but stalled the bike on lap six and dropped down to third place behind his brother, Hunter, and new leader Aaron Plessinger. "The bike stalled, and it's not ideal, but 'let's start the bike up again, see where we're at,' and re - group from there and get back on the lines I was taking," Lawrence said.

"We came here to High Point without any set expectations, so I'm happy with how things have gone today. My foot is still giving me some pain, and my cardio isn't where it should be, but overall, things went well.

I got two good starts, a holeshot in the first one. I was in second for a while, but I just wasn't quite comfortable with that pace and got a little tired, a little tight, and kind of dropped back. In the second moto, I came out well again after the start, got into the lead, and then cased that wall double and went back a couple of positions.
