ROUND 13 / APRIL 11, 2026
NISSAN STADIUM / NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
little lucky with it, but that's how
it goes sometimes. I just kept
going every lap. The track just
kept getting harder packed, and
I started struggling a little bit. I
got a little pumped up and did
the best I could. I'm pumped to
be on the podium, but we've got
a lot of work to do."
Devin Simonson was credited
with third overall, his career-first
podium. He crossed the line in
fourth but received a bump up
when Hammaker was issued
a penalty afterward for not re-
entering the track in the correct
spot after he went down. In fact,
Simonson didn't even have one
top-five to his credit in 10 250SX
starts until Nashville, but now
found himself shuffled back to
fourth on multiple occasions,
but chaos from the other racers
allowed him to return to a
podium position. In the closing
laps, Thrasher made up two
spots and went from fourth to
second thanks to a crash with
Seth Hammaker and Daxton
Bennick. This is Thrasher's
first podium of the season and
comes fittingly in his home-state
race.
"I didn't ride my best during
that main event, but second, I'll
take it," Thrasher said. "I got a
probably the gnarliest, to like
opposite gnarliest. It was soft
and rutted last weekend, and
it was as hard-packed as you
could get this weekend," Davies
said. "You just had to be patient,
and I just let the race come to
me. I'm stoked—that was a good
race. I didn't get off to a good
start, but I made it happen, and
I'm stoked with that."
Nate Thrasher, Davies'
Monster Energy Star Racing
Yamaha teammate, grabbed
his best result of the season
by far with second. Thrasher,
the Tennessee native, turned
up the heat in front of his home
fans as he led the first four laps
of the main event. He quickly
