ing all but one lap on Saturday
night. Time was critical, and
Roczen made an uncharacteris-
tically aggressive pass on title
rival
Hunter Lawrence early in
the main to take the lead. From
that point, it was all Roczen. The
seasoned racer used his speed
to build a gap and never looked
back. This victory is his 26th ca-
reer win and marks the first time
in five
years that Roczen has
scored back-to-back wins. More
significantly, he closed the gap
450SX
Roczen is the man riding the
momentum. After winning last
weekend in Detroit, the Pro-
gressive Suzuki rider came out
swinging again in St.
Louis,
delivering a perfect race day—he
was the fastest qualifier, won
his heat race, and finished with
the main-event victory. This is
the same track where Roczen
achieved his first win after
his arm injury in 2020, and he
looked as strong as ever, lead

4 CHASE SEXTON
22ND 450SX
Chase Sexton crashed late in the
450SX main event and did not finish
the race. "I had a bit of an up-and-down
day here in St. Louis. My speed was
good in qualifying. I was pushing for
fastest qualifier but just wasn't able to
get there. In the heat race, I had some
issues off the start. I got run in on by
a few guys, which caused me to go
down. I just pushed until the race was
over to get up to third for a better gate
pick in the main event. I still didn't get
the start I was looking for in the main
event and had some mistakes that set
me back. I ultimately had to pull off the
track early because I was pretty banged
up after my crash and was unable to
finish the race."
47 LEVI KITCHEN
7TH 250SX
Levi Kitchen is battling a back injury,
which relegated him to seventh in the
250 main event. "It wasn't a bad night,
but it's not where I want to be at this
point in the season. I didn't get the
starts I needed, which made it tough
right away. I've been trying different
treatments for my back and had it
