got back by me. I kind of lost
the tow. I'm bummed at myself.
I saw a few openings I should
have taken, and I didn't. I was too
patient tonight."
Roczen led 17 laps but ended
up finishing fourth when all was
said and done.

by the rulebook. I mean, we've
definitely been penalized for red-
cross flags more than any other
team. And I've always accepted
that when the red flags are flash-
ing right before the finish line. Jo
did the right thing, and he rolled.
And then I feel like, you know, now
is the time for them to stand by
the rulebook and do the right pen-
alty, which is loss of a position for
the position gained, and then five
championship points." Regarding
the red-flag incident in the 450SX
race, he continued, "That one is
clear-cut, I don't see how there's
any question on that one; they're
going to lose points. That defi-
nitely helps us—it's [the penalty
is] five points—I think Hunter's
lead goes from four points to nine
points. I got to check on that one,
but I can't see that one being in
question."
MISSING IN ACTION
Jorge Prado sat out the night in
Arlington after injuring his shoul-
der in Seattle one week ago. The
team said, "No major injuries have
been determined, but excessive
swelling and irritation in his right
shoulder joint will take more time
to heal up." They are hopeful of a
return at Daytona. Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna's Casey Cochran also
missed the East Coast opener
with a broken collarbone.
ARLINGTON NOTES:
Hunter Lawrence is the 70th
different 450SX class winner.
Arlington marks only the 11th time
in Supercross history both classes
had a first-time winner, and the
first since Chase Sexton /Michael
Mosiman won their classes at the
San Diego Supercross in January
