Sexton and the Monster Energy
Pro Circuit Kawasaki team.
Team Tedder KTM rider
Justin Hill, who led early in the
race, rounded out the top five
after Dylan Ferrandis received a
one-position penalty for cutting
a section of the track after
running off the course. Hill held
down a podium position for
most of the race before taking
his season-best finish.
"This whole year has been
frustrating just with the starts
and not getting up front," Hill
said. "It felt nice to be up front
and lead a couple laps and

first race back. Thank you to the
team; they did a superb job and
had me comfortable. Thank you to
all the fans for all the support! It's
good to be back in the mix."
SUPERCROSS
STAR POWER
Country music star Brantley
Gilbert took the honor of being
the Grand Marshal in Nashville.
Gilbert is an avid motorcycle rider
and recently attended his first
Supercross in Birmingham. He's
also developed a friendship with
Cooper Webb, and the two came
out during opening ceremonies
in matching Fly Racing gearsets.
Comedian and podcaster Theo
Von was also on hand to enjoy the
racing action.
NASHVILLE NOTES:
Hunter Lawrence ties Kent
Howerton for 26th on all-time
wins… Cooper Webb earned
the 82nd podium of his 450SX
career, seventh all-time... Ken
Roczen sits sixth all-time with his
85th career podium in the 450
class… If Cole Davies wins the
Eastern Divisional title, it would
be only the second time Yamaha
has swept both 250SX East and
West Championships (2021, Colt
Nichols and Justin Cooper).
Briefly...
Third overall, Ken
Roczen's win streak
came to an end,
despite leading
the first half of the
Nashville 450SX
main event. However,
he still climbed to
second in points.
Eli Tomac crashed and finished outside the top 10.
He's now third in the 450SX points chase.
